    First of all, your plugin is great. In such a short time, you have achieved a lot and hope you guys continue the great work.
    I have 2 questions :-

    Question 1)
    I am curious to know if I could provide
    a) Email Id
    b) Phone Number
    c) Room Number
    in the large white space if I do not use Cover photos in the Directory page.

    The directory provides the name of the person below the photograph. Apart from that we do get a reveal panel that can be used to display the Custom fields of the profile. But I find that it just provides the value of the field without the label of the field and it gets confusing. Also if we do not use the cover photo, the amount of empty space seems to large to justify the use of a reveal panel. Is there something I can do regarding this?
    Of course I could create a cover photo containing this information for each person and place it there. But, text would be easier for me to enter, since there are over 100 people.

    Question 2) Is there a way I can change the size of each profile card in the Directory view? Can I make all the profile cards uniformly smaller?

    Once again. This is a great plugin that uses the ‘Users’ of the wordpress installation accurately and allows us to create a wonderful profile page. However more customizability in the Directory view would be greatly appreciated. Hope this is in your list of To Dos.

    Hi!

    Thanks for the kind words.

    The user meta in member directory can be controlled by user meta in reveal section which can be made automatically open (without slide animation)

    Can I know why you do not want to use that section instead, because it does not show field label only?

    Question 2) We make this responsive so it adapts to screen size automatically and make it look nice.

    We have made the plugin deeply customizable, you can customize profile page user meta, fields, directory (of members) and almost everything. I believe you just need to know where these settings are set.

    Please, join our forums. We can provide better support on there and also fix any issues you might have.

    Also if you look at our demo site you will see what happens when you turn off the cover photos: https://ultimatememberdemo.com/member-directory-example-two/

    The design changes automatically so no large white space.

    Thanks for very quick responses.
    Yes, the reason for not using the reveal section is simply because of the nature of problem I have in my hand and as you mentioned, my inexperience with this plugin figuring where is what.

    I wanted to display
    Phone Extension – Four Digits (5441 for example)
    Room Number – Also in this case is 4 digits (1010)
    in the directory view also.

    I went through all the options, used a custom text field with label “Location” with value “Room 1010”, with “Room ” being the placeholder and chose an icon from the list. This shows well in the directory in the reveal panel and also on the individual profile. For the phone, I created a custom field “Phone” with value “Extn 5441” and phone icon. Without the labels incorporated in the value of the fields, it is hard to make out in the reveal panel, as it does not use the icons as well. If one uses a field named “Phone” and uses a text “Phone 5441”, it looks okay in the directory, but the word Phone repeats in the profile view. Hence, one needs to choose proper field values and names here. Nevertheless, for now, I am very happy with this.

    I agree with your design that the reveal section be used only when the viewer wants more information about someone. The idea is just sinking in and makes total sense, instead of a giant list with pointless details for a viewer.

    Is there a way to show these icons like “phone icon” or “briefcase icon” instead of field label in the reveal panel? I think this option could be worthy.

    We’ll add option to show icon beside field in member directory. And hope that will meet your needs.

    Expect it in the next couple updates ??

    Thank you!

    I am marking this resolved, even though I have used labels, it still is a valid solution. The remaining is a feature request. And everyday I see a new version with updates, shows the commitment. I love the plugin. Great job guys.

    It will be added to plugin in near future but we have to work on fixing issues and bugs before we can add in stuff like this.

    Thanks for your kind words.
