Features




Contact cards with name, email, photo, profile link and teams, plus phone, address and birthday from LH Profile Page and verified alias emails from LH User Identity.



Cards are built for the person viewing them, so teams in hidden groups appear only for people who can see those groups.



Download links on the Users list, BuddyPress profiles and groups, group and check-in reports, bbPress and LH Profile Page&#8217;s search-users, signed so they work for a day for whoever opens them.

A Recently Updated Contacts dashboard widget and shortcode.



Only users who can see member contacts (publish_posts by default) see any of it.



Network-activated on Multisite, with each site serving its own members. No MCP abilities of its own: tooling plugins use its PHP service API.




Each member&#8217;s own personal address book, which they can edit from their phone, is planned for a later release.



Getting started
