Viewing a profile

Below is an example of an existing student profile within the WordPress editor. Unlike other profiles, student profiles are very limited in the amount of editable features. They do not have a full biography and feature set found in other profile types. All fields entered will be displayed in predefined formatting.

Editing a profile

The current name of the student profile can be edited by inputting a name into the first field available below the heading "Edit Student Profile".

After selecting an image, you can adjust the focal point of the image with the "focal point picker" tool. This allows fine control over the position of the image within the cropped area.
