Beskrivning
ProfileSwitch Lite turns a single WordPress login into multiple profiles. The primary user switches between them with one click — no logout, no separate passwords to remember. Each profile is a real WordPress user, so course progress, orders, comments, and activity stay completely separate.
Use cases
- Families — Kids and household members get their own profile without each needing a separate email and password
- Youth programs — Sports clubs, day camps, and after-school programs where one parent manages multiple kids’ registrations under a single login
- Online courses — Each profile tracks its own course progress, quizzes, and completions, so multiple learners in a household don’t overwrite each other
- Business accounts — Departments or team members get their own profile under one company login
Lite version features
- Add up to 5 profiles under one primary account
- One-click switching from a profile selector page
- Edit, unlink, or delete sub-profiles
- Color scheme customization (Light / Dark / Custom with primary + accent colors)
- Custom heading text

Vanliga frågor
-
How is this different from creating multiple WordPress users?
-
You can create multiple WordPress users today, but each has its own login. ProfileSwitch Lite links a primary account to its sub-profiles so the primary user can switch into each profile with one click — no logout/login required.
-
Can children have their own profile without an email address?
-
Yes. ProfileSwitch Lite auto-generates email addresses for sub-profiles using the primary user’s email plus a unique alias.
-
What happens if I deactivate the plugin?
-
All profile users remain as standalone WordPress users. Their data is preserved. Reactivating the plugin restores the linked-profile relationships.
-
Does this work with my membership plugin?
-
ProfileSwitch Lite works with any plugin that uses standard WordPress users. Dedicated integrations for WooCommerce, BuddyPress / BuddyBoss, and Paid Memberships Pro are available in the full version of ProfileSwitch.
-
Can I require a PIN to switch into a profile?
-
PIN protection and parental controls are available in the full version of ProfileSwitch.
-
Can I have more than 5 profiles?
-
ProfileSwitch Lite is capped at 5 profiles per account. Higher limits are available in the full version of ProfileSwitch.
-
Can I import existing WordPress users as sub-profiles?
-
The full version of ProfileSwitch supports inviting existing WordPress users to link as sub-profiles.
-
Will my data transfer if I upgrade to the full version?
-
Yes. Profile relationships, settings, and design customization are stored in standard WordPress user meta and options, so they carry over seamlessly when you upgrade.
