## Descripción

ProfileSwitch Lite turns a single WordPress login into multiple profiles. The primary
user switches between them with one click — no logout, no separate passwords to 
remember. Each profile is a real WordPress user, so course progress, orders, comments,
and activity stay completely separate.

#### Use cases

 * **Families** — Kids and household members get their own profile without each 
   needing a separate email and password
 * **Youth programs** — Sports clubs, day camps, and after-school programs where
   one parent manages multiple kids' registrations under a single login
 * **Online courses** — Each profile tracks its own course progress, quizzes, and
   completions, so multiple learners in a household don’t overwrite each other
 * **Business accounts** — Departments or team members get their own profile under
   one company login

#### Lite version features

 * Add up to 5 profiles under one primary account
 * One-click switching from a profile selector page
 * Edit, unlink, or delete sub-profiles
 * Color scheme customization (Light / Dark / Custom with primary + accent colors)
 * Custom heading text
 * Profile relationship management on the WordPress user edit page

## FAQ

### How is this different from creating multiple WordPress users?

You can create multiple WordPress users today, but each has its own login. ProfileSwitch
Lite links a primary account to its sub-profiles so the primary user can switch 
into each profile with one click — no logout/login required.

### Can children have their own profile without an email address?

Yes. ProfileSwitch Lite auto-generates email addresses for sub-profiles using the
primary user’s email plus a unique alias.

### What happens if I deactivate the plugin?

All profile users remain as standalone WordPress users. Their data is preserved.
Reactivating the plugin restores the linked-profile relationships.

### Does this work with my membership plugin?

ProfileSwitch Lite works with any plugin that uses standard WordPress users. Dedicated
integrations for WooCommerce, BuddyPress / BuddyBoss, and Paid Memberships Pro are
available in the full version of ProfileSwitch.

### Can I require a PIN to switch into a profile?

PIN protection and parental controls are available in the full version of ProfileSwitch.

### Can I have more than 5 profiles?

ProfileSwitch Lite is capped at 5 profiles per account. Higher limits are available
in the full version of ProfileSwitch.

### Can I import existing WordPress users as sub-profiles?

The full version of ProfileSwitch supports inviting existing WordPress users to 
link as sub-profiles.

### Will my data transfer if I upgrade to the full version?

Yes. Profile relationships, settings, and design customization are stored in standard
WordPress user meta and options, so they carry over seamlessly when you upgrade.
