Creating User Account Page With Different Dashboard Structures
This tutorial will describe how to create the WordPress Account page with the Content or Rewrite mode of the JetEngine Profile Builder feature.
Before you start check tutorial requirements:
- Elementor (Free version)
- JetEngine plugin installed and activated
The Account page is the central user dashboard where users can add and edit information, publish and edit posts, and save favorite items. This tutorial reveals how to set the Account page with the “Content” and “Rewrite” Template Modes, create subpages for the Account page, and set the Profile Menu.
What’s the Difference Between Content and Rewrite Template Modes?
With the “Content” Template Mode, you need to set the Profile Menu widget once on the Account page. The Profile Menu displays the titles of the subpage templates set for the Account page with the Profile Builder. Content will be displayed dynamically with the Profile Subpage Content widget when users click the corresponding menu items.
With the “Rewrite” Template Mode, the page is rewritten with the content from templates. If you want to add a menu, you need to place the Profile Menu widget in the templates. You can customize templates differently: you can place the Profile Menu in different places on different templates, and you can decide not to add the Profile Menu to some templates.

Before you start, proceed to the WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > JetEngine tab, enable the Profile Builder toggle in the Default Modules section, and hit the “Save” button. Wait until the page reloads.
