Hi @dwsowash
A simple HTML link can be created like this:
<a href="http://gothicspider.com/members/username/profile/" title="Title">Link text</a>
Is this what you mean? Or were you looking for something dynamic?
@dwsowash
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
<a>Profile</a>//link to users profile
}
Hey! sorry. Thanks for the quick res response.
Let me be a little more descriptive.
I have a plugin that redirects users to their buddypress profile not their wp profile.(works great)
I have a facebook,twitter,yahoo,ect login plugin but it wants to redirect to the wp profile page which it calls “your profile. I hade to make this page or it would give ma a 404.
I’m tired of playing so I’m trying to meta refresh from the wp profile to the buddypress profile.
Thanks!

Not sure why my code is getting stripped here now as I used the code tag in the editor but to support what henry suggested you can find snippets here:
A few dynamic link examples
Maybe what you need or maybe not.
function hello() {
// Testing 123...
}
add_action( 'code_test', 'hello' );
@bphelp
Humm, strange! As you can see, code tags seem to be working for me
@bphelp,@henrywright,
no not strange, you used a wrong opening tag for the code (' instead of `). I corrected it but your code was already stripped. Sorry for the stress ! 😉
@dwsowash,
your above URL goes to http://gothicspider.com/members-3/ which can bring errors if you use a plugin who check for the BP members page. Correct this to /members/ in the page permalink to avoid some weird issues.
Clear the Trash from previous created members pages. 3 indicates that you used 2 others before the actual.
Concerning the profile redirection, once BP is activated, the site use by default the BP profile and the WP profile is no more accessible publicly. So i wonder what that plugin is for ?
And for your issue with login, what plugin do you use ? As i think it would perhaps be easier to modify that plugin instead of WP/BP.
Got rid of the members-3 Now it’s just members.
Deactivated the BP Redirect to Profile for Buddypress and it redirects to WP-profile not the buddypress profile.
What is redirecting ? BP Redirect to Profile is not updated since over a year and many things have changed since (given to be compatible to 1.7….)
Also it was intended for:
- Redirect all normal users to their profile on login
- If the admin logs in from site front page,redirect him back to front page.
- If the Site Admin logs in from site backend, i.e. using http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php, let him go to the WordPress dashboard
You didn’t answered: what is the login plugin ?
On login without the BuddyPress Login Redirect plugin enabled logging in redirects to http://gothicspider.com/your-profile/…(which is wp profile)
With the plugin enabled users are sent to http://gothicspider.com/members/USERNAME/…which is buddypress profile)
Either way if they login through facebook or twitter they land at http://gothicspider.com/your-profile/….(which is wp profile)
Do you use an old buddypress specific theme ? Do you use a custom function somewhere (functions.php or bp-custom.php) ? Do you use a child-theme ?
Have you enabled Profile syncing in BP settings.
On a default install, when a user log in, he’s not redirected to his profile.
Can you test by deactivating all your plugins, except BP and with 2013 theme activated ?
I use a theme not supported by buddypress.
I use no custom functions.
I do not use a child-theme.
I have “disabaled” Profile syncing in BP settings.(because it seems to make no difference).
“Can you test by deactivating all your plugins, except BP and with 2013 theme activated ?”
Yes I can and will. But I’m trying to fight my way through with what I’ve got because I like the look and feel. If I can’t have the plugins and theme I’ve got now I might as well scrap the whole pile.
I’m not trying to cast fault or blame I’m just looking for insight to what I might need to “hack”.
All I’m trying to do is redirect http://gothicspider.com/your-profile/ to http://gothicspider.com/members/%USERNAME%/
At that point I will call BuddyPress “Perfect”!
“At that point I will call BuddyPress “Perfect”!”
Well…I’m calling BuddyPress “Perfect”!
I’m using the Social Connect plugin because I like the look of its FB and Twitter buttons but it wanted to redirect users to the WP-profile page. So I gave it this meta refresh
“<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0;url=MYSITE/members/[php]$current_user = wp_get_current_user();echo ” . $current_user-user_login . ”;[/php]“>”
and it works like a charm.(I know it’s a hack but….)
So now my plugin from my login page(screen shot) lands at the correct BuddyPress profile page(screenshot)
You can mark this resolved!
Fantastic!
Have a nice day!
