Hi,
To enter bio you can create a profile field https://codex.buddypress.org/administrator-guide/extended-profiles/ and then from the profile you can enter the bio.
For the post list, you need customizations.
Thanks
Thanks, with your advice I was able to add the fields to the users edit profile page, but I dont see a way of getting the information to appear on their profile page when others view it.
Can you advise?
Ok, I found the problem. Clicking on Author’s names was actually linking to:
renderwars.xyz/author/michael
when it should have been linking to:
renderwars.xyz/members/michael
for buddypress to work properly I had to create a child theme and then add a redirect rule in the child themes functions.php file.
For anyone else with the same problem who might not be too good at php etc, here’s the instructins I found to help me:
Creating a child theme:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
and then putting this code in the function.php:
add_filter( 'author_link', 'change_author_link', 10, 1 );
function change_author_link($link) {
$username=get_the_author_meta('user_nicename');
$link = 'http://example.com/members/' . $username;
return $link;
}
What i’d like to do now is get the new bio information onto the
renderwars.xyz/members/michael page, instead of on the
renderwars.xyz/members/michael/profile page.
I think this would be a good idea as this is where people will land when clicking on a persons name.
You can override cover-image-header.php file in your child theme and then can output the bio just below the cover image.
Thanks
