The About Me block provides a compact profile section for displaying information about a WordPress user or a custom person. It can combine a profile image, name, description, profile link and social-network links in a single block.
It can be inserted anywhere the WordPress block editor is available, making it useful for author introductions, team-member profiles, sidebars and other profile-focused sections.
Blocksy Companion required
The About Me block becomes available after installing and activating Blocksy Companion.
Granular Controls
User Information
Choose where the profile information displayed by the block comes from.
Dynamic
Select Dynamic to use information associated with a WordPress user. Choose the user you want to display and Blocksy will retrieve the corresponding profile information for the block.
This is particularly useful for author sections because the profile can remain connected to the information managed for that WordPress account.
Custom
Select Custom when the person you want to display does not need to be associated with a WordPress user account. The profile information can then be entered directly in the block.
Profile Image
Configure how the profile image is presented alongside the person’s information.
- Image Size – adjust the dimensions of the profile image to suit the surrounding layout.
- Image Shape – choose between the available rounded and square image presentations.
Content Alignment
Choose whether the profile information is aligned to the left, centre or right inside the block.
Profile Link
The displayed profile can link visitors to the corresponding profile or author destination when a link is configured. This provides a direct path to additional information or content associated with the person shown in the block.
Social Channels
Add social-network links underneath the profile information and control which networks are displayed.
Network Visibility
Enable only the social networks that should be shown for the profile, keeping the block limited to the channels that are relevant to the person being displayed.
Icons & URLs
Configure the destination URL for each social network and replace its default icon with a custom one when needed.
Icon Design
Adjust the appearance of the social icons using the available size, spacing, shape and Color controls. These settings let the social links match the surrounding profile design without changing the rest of the block.
