Profile Builder Field Visibility add-on is a professional extension that enables site owners to display different fields depending on the user role assigned to the account. It simplifies complex membership workflows by allowing a single edit profile form to serve multiple user types. This add-on eliminates the need for managing multiple separate forms for different membership tiers.
WPExclusive members get access to Field Visibility as part of a full plugin and theme library — plans from $9.99/month. See the full Profile Builder collection →
What Is Profile Builder Field Visibility add-on?
Profile Builder Field Visibility add-on is developed by Profile Builder and is a membership plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the membership category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for managing user environments and permissions.
The add-on solves the challenge of cluttered profile forms by hiding irrelevant fields from specific users. It is designed for developers building multi-role membership sites or community platforms where administrators require more data than standard users.
Profile Builder Field Visibility add-on Features
The feature set is built around granular control over field accessibility and visual logic.
Role-Based Permissions
Administrators can select exactly which user roles are permitted to see a particular extra field type. This is essential for membership sites where different subscription levels require different profile attributes. The logic ensures that sensitive or irrelevant data fields remain hidden from the front-end unless the user possesses the correct role.
Administrative and Locked Fields
The plugin introduces an Admin Only field status, making specific data visible exclusively to administrators. Additionally, the User Locked feature allows fields to be visible to both admins and users, but restricts editing capabilities solely to site administrators. This is useful for managing account IDs, membership dates, or internal notes that a user should see but not change.
Location-Specific Logic
Visibility is not limited to just roles; it can be toggled based on the website location. You can choose to show fields globally or restrict them to the Default WordPress Edit Profile (Back End), the Registration Form, or specific Edit Profile Forms. This flexibility allows for a streamlined registration process while maintaining a detailed user profile area.
Pricing
Check current pricing on the Field Visibility sales page, where it is typically bundled with Basic or Pro licenses. WPExclusive members access it as part of their membership plan.
| Plan | Price | Sites | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profile Builder Basic | ~$69/year | 1 Site | Basic Add-ons |
| Profile Builder Pro | ~$149/year | Unlimited | All Add-ons |

For developers managing multiple sites, a WPExclusive membership covers Field Visibility plus hundreds of other plugins and themes — usually less than one premium license.

Use Cases
Tiered Membership Platforms
Create a single profile page that displays unique data fields for different pricing tiers in a membership community. Premium members might see advanced profile options that are completely hidden from free tier users.
Internal Staff Directories
Configure fields that only Managers or Administrators can see and edit, such as performance scores or payroll IDs. Users can view their basic info, but privileged fields remain visible only to authorized roles.
Simplified Registration Forms
Hide complex profile fields from the registration form to increase conversion rates, while keeping those fields available later in the user’s dashboard profile page.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Agencies can implement custom user workflows across multiple client installations without purchasing individual add-on licenses for every domain. A single WPExclusive membership provides the necessary files for every project.
