You can either encourage or force members to complete their profiles with the Ultimate Member Profile Completeness Addon. This is one of the most effective strategies to ensure that users engage with your site and that you don’t end up with a bunch of empty user accounts.
Features: Ultimate Member Profile Completeness Addon
- Use sidebar widgets to display profile fields that a user has yet to complete, as well as a progress indicator.
- Users may fill up profile data via pop-ups from anywhere on the site, or they can go to their profile to do so.
- Users are forced to finish their profiles by being sent to their edit profile page until they do so.
- Only members who have finished their profiles will be displayed in the member directory (you can set what percent limit is applied)
- Choose which fields should be included in the profile.
- Determine what percentage of the total is contributed by each field (e.g gender is worth 5 percent , country is worth 10 percent )
- Widgets are removed once a user’s profile is completed.
- Choose which user roles to enable profile completion for.
- Create distinct fields for each position.
- Shortcodes can be used to display a profile progress bar anywhere on the site.
- Users should not be able to comment on posts until their profiles are complete.
- Users should not be able to create new posts or react to existing ones on bbPress forums until their profiles are complete.
- Users shouldn’t be able to see other people’s profiles until they’ve finished their own.
- Determine how much profile completion is necessary before a user may no longer be limited.
