Viewing Profiles

All of your people profiles can be viewed by clicking on "People" in the primary menu of your site. You can also view and manage profiles by navigating to the Control Panel and clicking on the "Content" button . On the right column under "Type" you will see a drop down menu where you can click on "Person" which after applying will display a list of your people.

Images (crop ratios) for People Profiles

Images are displayed in different aspect ratios depending on the theme selected for your site and the context in which they are displayed.

Images need to be at least 480 pixels x 480 pixels to display correctly. They should all have extra room on all four sides of the person's face. About 10% is ideal to allow for the multiple ways in which images are displayed. You can adjust the focal point to keep the person's face in the center of the image.
