Detailed Overview
The Creator Personality feature allows you to define your identity within the app, making it easier for members to connect with you. Here’s how it works and where your personality will appear.
Why Set Up Your Creator Personality?
Trust and Recognition: Members are more likely to subscribe to a person or brand they relate to. A clear name, photo, and tagline create a personal touch, making your app feel less generic.
Centralized Editing: You can configure your identity in one place under App Station > App Settings > Personality. The same values will be displayed across various content types.
Optional Fields: All fields are optional. If you leave the Creator Name empty, most bylines and attribution will be hidden, ensuring that your app doesn’t show incomplete information.
Where Members See Your Personality
Your creator identity will be visible in several key areas throughout the app:
Where | What Members See |
Recipe, Meal Plan, Blog, Course, and Resource Detail Pages | A byline featuring a small avatar and creator name. Clicking it opens the Creator Profile sheet with your full bio and links. |
Creator Profile Sheet | Displays a large photo, name, tagline, bio, and social profile links (these links are edited elsewhere but displayed here). |
Feed Block | Shows creator identity on each blog post when configured to include it. |
Content Story Block | Optionally displays a creator line above the story text when enabled in the block settings. |
Note: The logo, colors, and typography are controlled separately through the theme and branding settings, not through the Personality feature.
Setting Up Your Creator Personality
Go to App Station > App Settings > Personality.
Fill in the Creator Name, Tagline, and upload a Profile Photo. The photo should ideally be a square image, at least 200x200 pixels.
Use the rich text editor to write your Bio. This editor supports various formatting options, allowing you to create an engaging description of yourself.
Social profile links can be managed separately in the Social Sharing settings but will appear in your Creator Profile Sheet.
Display Components
When members click on your name or avatar in any content detail header, the Creator Profile Sheet will open, showcasing:
Your profile image
Creator name
Tagline (in italics)
Bio (formatted text)
Links to your social media profiles
If no creator name is configured, the attribution elements will be hidden, maintaining a clean look.
