Creator Profiles give every campaign creator and fundraiser a shareable public page at /creator/your-name/, showing their avatar, bio, organization, social links, campaigns, and headline totals. Creators manage their own profile from the My Campaigns hub, and their identity now travels with them onto every fundraiser page.

Available in Charitable Ambassadors 3.3.0+ (requires Charitable Pro 1.8.16 or later).

Key Features

• Publish a public profile page for each creator at /creator/<name>/, served automatically with no page to build.
• Let creators edit their own profile from a new Profile tab in the My Campaigns hub: name, bio, organization, website, six social networks, photo, and location.
• Show a creator’s avatar and an accessible hover card (bio, organization, social links, and a link to their public profile) next to their name on every fundraiser page.
• Choose exactly which stats and sections appear on the public page, from bio and social links down to total raised, donor count, and an optional QR code.
• Control location sharing responsibly: city, state, and country only, never a street address, with Disabled, creator-controlled, and forced modes.
• Add a Share button (Copy Link, Share Via, Email) so creators can promote their profile in one click.
• Embed any creator’s profile anywhere with the [charitable_creator_profile] shortcode.

Why Use Creator Profiles?

A fundraiser is often a one-time page with no lasting home for the person behind it. Creator Profiles give your most active supporters a recognizable identity across your site, so donors can see who they are supporting, browse their campaigns, and trust the person asking. That recognition builds credibility, encourages repeat fundraising, and turns individual campaigns into an ongoing relationship.

Requirements

• Charitable Ambassadors 3.3.0 or later
• Charitable Pro 1.8.16 or later
• WordPress 5.0 or later, PHP 7.4 or later
• Pretty permalinks enabled (Settings > Permalinks set to anything other than Plain), since the public page uses a rewrite rule

Getting Started

Activation

1. In WordPress admin, go to Charitable > Ambassadors > Templates > My Campaigns.
2. Find the Public Creator Page section and turn on Enable Public Creator Page.
3. Save your settings. Each creator’s page is now live at /creator/<their-username>/.

When the setting is off, creator pages return a 404 and no profile content is exposed. Author archives are unaffected either way.

If pages return a 404 after enabling the feature, visit Settings > Permalinks once and save to flush the rewrite rules.

How Creators Edit Their Profile

Creators manage their own profile from the Profile tab inside the My Campaigns hub (the page that hosts the [charitable_my_campaigns] shortcode). From there a logged-in creator can set:

• First and last name (used to build the display name)
• Bio
• Organization
• Website plus Twitter / X, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok
• Profile photo
• City, state, and country, and which of those to share (when location sharing is creator-controlled)

Administrators can edit the same profile fields for any creator from the Directory.

The Public Creator Page

The page is served automatically at /creator/<name>/, where <name> is the creator’s WordPress user slug. The default creator base can be changed with a filter (see Developer Resources). The page can include the creator’s avatar, chosen name format, bio, organization, social links, a Share button, an optional QR code, a grid of their published campaigns, and headline totals.

Only published campaigns are counted and shown. Private, draft, pending, and rejected campaigns never appear.

Fundraiser Page Enrichment

On every fundraiser page, the creator’s name is enriched with a small avatar and an accessible hover and focus card. The card shows the creator’s bio, organization, and social links, plus a link to their full public profile. This is on by default and can be tuned or disabled with filters.

Location Sharing

Location sharing is limited to city, state, and country. A street address is never collected or shown. You control it site-wide with two settings:

• Location Sharing Mode decides whether location is off, creator-controlled, or forced on.
• Allow decides which parts (city, state, country) are eligible at all. An unchecked part is never shown, even in forced mode.

In creator-controlled mode, each creator opts in to the parts they want to show from their Profile tab.

Usage

Shortcode

Use the shortcode to embed a creator profile on any page or post:

[charitable_creator_profile user_id="12"]

or

[charitable_creator_profile nicename="jane-doe"]

With no attributes, the shortcode resolves the creator for the current /creator/<name>/ request, which is how the automatic page renders.

Shortcode Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
user_id	integer	0	The WordPress user ID of the creator to display. Takes priority over nicename.
nicename	string	“”	The creator’s user slug (nicename). Used when user_id is not supplied.

Filters and Functions

Every display toggle, the URL base, the name format, and the fundraiser-page treatment can be adjusted in code. See Developer Resources below.

Troubleshooting

Creator pages return a 404

Confirm Enable Public Creator Page is on. Then visit Settings > Permalinks and save once to flush the rewrite rules. Also confirm the creator has at least one published campaign, since a profile with nothing published does not resolve.

A creator’s location is not showing

Location Sharing Mode must be set to Allow Creator To Control or Force, and the relevant part (city, state, or country) must be checked under Allow. In creator-controlled mode, the creator also has to opt in to that part from their Profile tab.

Social links are not appearing

Confirm Show Social Links is on and that the creator has entered at least one link in the Profile tab.

The profile photo is not updating

The public page uses the creator’s uploaded profile photo (the avatar user meta). The uploaded image must belong to that creator’s own media. If no photo is set, the site falls back to the standard avatar.
