Link to Buddypress profile

[lucyelliottdesign]

Hi there,

I wanted to create a link to the profile in navigation and on a page so I added the following code:

/* Redirects to profile upon login, & logged out users are redirected to register page */

function redirect2profile(){

include_once( ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/plugin.php’ );

if($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] == ‘/profile/’ && is_plugin_active(‘buddypress/bp-loader.php’) && is_user_logged_in()){

global $current_user;

wp_redirect( get_bloginfo(‘url’) . ‘/members/’. $current_user->user_login . ‘/profile/’);

exit();

}

}

add_action(‘init’, ‘redirect2profile’);

 

I then created a profile page. It was working for ages, but now isn’t.

 

I also tried your ##profile_link##profile/, found here: https://archived.seventhqueen.com/kleo/article/building-dynamic-buddypress-menu

But that’s not working either? Do you know why this may be or have any solutions?

Thanks,

Lucy

Hello, that code is for a redirection, not to create a link. Can you try to find the one you used so I can check it?

Hi Laura,

I then created a page called Profile and then used the url /profile in the navigation. It worked for a while but then stopped.

I basically want a dropdown in the menu for Profile. I followed the article you mentioned but it didn’t work either!

Thanks! Luyc

I think it’s stopped working since I updated the theme?

Hello, by default it shouldn’t work because profile pages are dynamic so /profile would never work ( with buddypress, not related to the theme ) But you could try Buddypress Menu plugin
