I am looking to create custom BuddyPress profile sections. I have the sections created within my BuddyPress menu but it is the individual links I am having issues with. When I go to my menu and type the custom links, I am using something along the lines of

http:websitelink.com/members/seanb/media/photos

I tried replacing my name “seanb” with both “%USERNAME%” and “MEMBER_NAME” but neither seem to work. I have done this before but am having some trouble re-figuring it out. I am looking for a general username to use so the link is universal and will go to that specific users photos when visiting their profile page when they click that tab.

Hi @seanbees
You can find BuddyPress specific links with menu section, Click on “Screen Options” to open up the panel at the top of the screen and check the “BuddyPress” option under the “Show On Screen” section.

Hey @vapvarun I appreciate your response. However I am not speaking of the default links that BuddyPress natively provides. I am speaking of creating custom menu links where I can swap out the members username, for example my username being “seanb” with a default name or something along those lines. That way it will take them to their own respective page.

Hi @seanbees you can try this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-direct-menus/
You can also watch https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cDheDU1sSZ get familiar with its usages. The purpose of the tutorial is to add a class to BP menus, but it will also be helpful for how to use this plugin.
