Page Display Settings
1. Profile Page Sidebar
The default one is: Member Profile Page. However, a different sidebar can be added if needed. Also, the currently saved sidebar can be edited directly via the Edit Sidebar link:
2. "Make a Connection" / "Claim Listing" Banner Position
Use this setting to move the position of the Claim Listing Banner or the Connect Message (Free and Paid Memberships) in member profiles.
Below are the 3 options for this setting:
- Above Profile Photo:

If set to YES, all links and contact forms to send these members a direct message will be hidden.
5. Enable Private Chat Messages
If enabled, members will receive direct chat messages which will replace the member receiving direct leads.
6. Show Banner Ads on Profile
If set to YES, any valid banner ad widgets will display on the member's public profile.
This setting in specific will be linked directly with the "Display Banner Advertisements?".
Find it under: Settings >> Design Settings >> Banner Ad Design >> Display Banner Advertisements?.
If this setting is set to "YES", banner ads will be visible on the website, and if the "Show Advertisements on Listing" is set to "YES", banner ads will be displayed in the member profiles of this specific membership plan.
Take into consideration that if the "Display Banner Advertisements?" is set to NO, any banner will be displayed on the site, regardless of the "Show Advertisements on Listing" is set to "YES".
Usually, advertisements are shown on the free profiles, and banners are hidden on the paid profiles.
7. Hide Website Header
If set to YES, this will hide the website header for this membership plan on their profile page.
Usually, owners of websites activate this setting to give their members the ability to have their profile as "their own site". However, we do not recommend setting it to "YES" because the visitor can not go back to the homepage and look for more members.
8. Hide Website Footer
If set to YES, this will hide the website footer for this membership level on their profile page.
Member Review Settings

We recommend activating this option in paid memberships.
