Keep them short and clear. They should add personality without crowding the profile header.

Settings in this guide

  • Profile Visitor Counter: Hidden, Simple, Animated, or Retro.
  • Profile Mood Status: None, Happy, Sad, Excited, Tired, or Custom.
  • Custom Mood Text: the short phrase shown when Mood Status is Custom.
Visitor Counter, Mood Status, and Custom Mood Text settings

This picture shows the older settings view. The same setting names can help you find the choices in Studio Editor.

What the choices do

Hidden

The visitor count is not shown.

Simple

Shows a small, quiet visitor count.

Animated or Retro

Adds a more noticeable style. Check it on a phone.

Custom Mood

Shows the short phrase you write in Custom Mood Text.

Profile information and Room design

Your mood and visitor count are profile information. A Room can change the colors, cards, spacing, and effects around them. The choices shown in Studio tell you whether the actual value can be different for that Room.

Setup steps

  1. Choose the Visitor Counter style.
  2. Choose a preset mood or select Custom.
  3. For Custom, write a short phrase that fits on a phone.
  4. Save and check the real profile header.
  5. Test Animated or Retro in reduced-motion Preview and Safe View.

Privacy and what the count means

  • A visitor number does not mean every visitor is identified by name.
  • A recent-visitor list may include only signed-in members.
  • A mood is text chosen by the member. It is not a verified health or safety status.
  • Do not put private contact details, emergencies, or sensitive information in Custom Mood Text.

Common fixes

Counter is missing

Make sure the style is not Hidden, then check the real profile.

Recent visitors are empty

Only signed-in visits may appear there.

Custom mood is missing

Set Mood Status to Custom before writing the phrase.

Header feels crowded

Shorten the phrase and use Simple or Hidden.

Animation feels distracting

Use Simple or Hidden and test reduced motion.

The surrounding style looks wrong

Check the active Whole Home or Room design.

FAQs

Which counter style should I start with?

Simple.

Does Hidden erase the visitor number?

It hides the counter. It does not necessarily delete the saved count.

How long should Custom Mood Text be?

A short phrase that fits comfortably on a phone.

Why does Custom Mood Text not appear?

Mood Status must be set to Custom.

Can each Room have a different mood?

Use the choices shown in Studio. They are the current choices for your account.

Can visitors see exactly who visited?

A recent-visitor area may show signed-in members, but the exact details depend on the choices shown on the profile.

Should I use Animated on a phone?

Test it. Simple or Hidden may fit better.

What is the quickest reset?

Set Counter to Hidden and Mood to None, save, and check the profile.
