You could force some of the hidden information to appear with CSS (background image, bio, etc), but some details are unavailable until expanded (mostly information for staff users).

Adding this CSS to your customization settings will get you some of the way there, but the full functionality you’re looking for would likely need a full plugin.

```SCSS
.user-main .about.collapsed-info {
  .details {
    .primary {
      .avatar {
        width: auto;
        height: 120px;
      }
      h3 {
        display: block;
      }
      .bio {
        display: block;
      }
      h1 {
        font-size: 2em;
      }
    }
  }
  .profile-image {
    height: 420px;
  }
}

```
