Add to “nav”; is this.. a WordPress Menu? Something custom implemented in your theme? Hardcoded HTML in your template?
And which Dashboard link, where?
I was not referring to a specific nav, sorry for that confusion. I simply meant being able to place a generic link somewhere in the site, like a menu or sidebar, to bring the user to their profile.
I had been referring to the Dashboard link that appears with the stock login widget. I currently have it set to go to the homepage (users blocked from wp-admin pages by S2), but wanted it to go to the logged-in users profile (basically I am hoping to have links that would have gone to ‘/wp-admin/profile’ go to ‘/members/**current logged in member username**’)
Thanks for the reply Paul

That code will send the user to their profile.
(eg http://www.example.com/members/USERNAME)
You do not need to put any other piece of php code..
you do need to link it to a herf..
(eg `<a href="”>My Profile`)
Thanks yadigit… I am having some trouble getting the link to display–when I place it in the html part of the visual editor the link will not appear on the page/post
copy/pasted the code straight <a href="”>My Profile out of your post, but it gets altered when I update the page.
Scratch that, dropped it in the widgets.php in place of the dashboard link and it is perfect!!! Thanks for the help, been search for a long time for that
Hi, I’m a bit of a novice so if someone could explain this a little further it would be very much appreciated.
I’d simply like to add a link to my custom menu to a logged in users profile page. Does anyone know exactly what I need to do to achieve this?
Any help is very much appreciated.
Same as mrguythornton, I still don’t know how @ktrusak resolved the issue.
