    I was wanting to create an about me page that would pull the information from the user profile section of the admin information. Does anyone know if this is possible? I’ve seen plugins and ways to have it done for blog posts, but I want this done just for a page. Thanks!

  • If you have, or are willing to learn, php skills, then this function is probably a good starting point (if you can’t find a plug-in that works for the current version of WordPress):

    (I wasn’t clear from what you said, but I am assuming you want info about the current user to be displayed to him/her)

    My favourite (in terms of clean/safe/etc.) ways to use php code in a Page are:

    1. write your own Plug-in
    2. use Shortcode Exec PHP to make it easy to build a ShortCode
    3. create a custom Page template in your theme and use it just for the About page

    Actually I just wanted to just use my information that I put in the admin panel under the my profile. I do code in PHP often, but was just wanting to be lazy if a solution is already out there. Or maybe I’m just over thinking it and there is something simple I’m overlooking. I’m new to the wordpress world.

    Ok I have seen that, but it doesn’t say how to make that the information in the about page that was created. I have created the author.php file and I see it show up in the theme editor. But when I go to Pages and then edit the about page I don’t see Authors Template showing up as an option in the templates sidebar.
