Title: Profile Shortcode Last modified: December 2, 2021 --- # Profile Shortcode * Resolved [ante1974](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ante1974/) * (@ante1974) * [4 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/profile-shortcode-2/) * Does this plugin allow you to drop user profiles onto a page with a user specific shortcode, something like [userid=123] or [user=firstname-lastname]? I want to be able to drop user profiles on specific pages so they are viewable in a custom site structure.

You can use our shortcodes to display data about users but not the whole profile as you want. We pass and use a username from URL to get the data about the user and display his profile. * Regards, Patrik * [Guust](https://wordpress.org/support/users/goldroo/) * (@goldroo) * [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/profile-shortcode-2/#post-15131050) * Maybe have a look at the default pages that are created with UsersWP, it may be close enough to what you need?
