Updating a Profile

A person's profile page can be updated either by that person or by a unit- or department-designated individual.

To update a profile entry, follow the steps below:

  1. On most sites, login by going to yoursite.ncsu.edu/wp-admin. (You will need to replace “yoursite.ncsu.edu” with the domain of the site that lists your profile.)
  2. Login with your Unity ID and password.
  3. Update user profile as needed.
    1. Note: Profile fields can differ from site to site, but they are generally well documented within the WordPress backend.
  4. Click “Update” in the upper right-hand corner to save your changes.
  5. Depending upon the site’s settings, your changes may be immediately published, or it may take several minutes or hours for the site’s cache to clear.

Note: The instructions above will work on most sites, but some departments and units may have different or more specific guidelines for updating your directory profile.

On most sites, your basic contact information, title and website will be updated every morning from the campus directory. To ensure that information is up to date across all campus websites and services, it is recommended that individuals update their campus directory information within MyPack Portal rather than overriding the campus directory’s information within your profile.
