Hi, I’m sorry if the question is quite noobish; its because I am. I’m trying to use bp_displayed_user_id() for a code I’m writing. It’s fine when use inside a function, but when using outside of function, i got error “Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_displayed_user_id()…”. Can anybody explain to me why so?

to paint a better picture, i’m trying to set different BP profile landing page for different user roles. Here’s the code that i put in bp-custom.php

global $bp;
$displayed_user = bp_displayed_user_id();
$member_id = get_userdata( $displayed_user );
if ( $member_id->roles[0] == $role ){
	$default_landing = define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'my-store' );
} else {
	$default_landing = define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'following' );
}

It’s a bit out of topic, but if I use the above code in a function, can anybody point me to what hook/action to use along the function to be able to fire up the above code?

Hope I’m making some sort of sense here.
