    Hello,

    Using the shortcode [uwp_profile] the user can see their profile when logged-in on this page URL for example:

    http://mysite.com/my-profile/user1

    But if they edit the URL then they can see any other user’s profile:

    http://mysite.com/my-profile/user2

    Is there a way to stop them from viewing other user’s profiles?

    Best,

    Steven

    For each field, you can select it to be private or not: UsersWP > Form Builder > Is Public?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Unfortunately that doesn’t change the visibility for the profile.

    You mean you do not want to allow other users to access the page completely?
    That is not possible for the moment, but you can choose not to have any links to the profile pages, so the only way would be for people to guess other users username.

    Thanks

    It’s Ok if other users load the page (they’ll be able to guess the URL as it’ll be the names of their classmates), but the profile avatar and cover image should only load on that page for the user who is logged-in and not be related to the URL.

    Sorry, but that is not possible without a customization.

    We don’t do customizations, you can try finding an expert at http://geodirectoryexperts.com/

    But one of the developers wrote this snippet you can use in the Code Snippets plugin, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/useful-plugins/#snippets

    
    
    function _uwp_custom_profile_access( $access, $user ) {
        if ( ! ( current_user_can('manage_options') || ( !empty( $user ) && get_current_user_id() == $user->ID ) ) ) {
            $access = false;
        }
    
        return $access;
    }
    add_filter( 'uwp_profile_access', '_uwp_custom_profile_access', 10, 2 );
    
    function _uwp_custom_profile_access_denied( $user ) {
        ?>
        <div><p><?php echo __( 'You are not allowed to view this profile!' ); ?></p></div>
        <?php
    }
    add_action( 'uwp_profile_access_denied', '_uwp_custom_profile_access_denied', 10, 1 );

    Adjust as required. Thanks
