Throwing this into bp-custom.php…
function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 2, 2 );
}
add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'remove_xprofile_links' );
…worked for me.
If you don’t have a bp-custom.php file, create one and put that code in it, then save it into the wp-content/plugins/ directory.
this feature should be by default within BP-core.
Not sure why some text is turning into a link and some text is not. Typically the first word and the last word in a string of words is not linked, other words within the string are indeed linked.
Why do I always need a plug-in in order to turn things off which do not make any sense at all ?
Although people might say “this is WP standard feature” – I am wondering what kind of “standard” this is ?
@Erich73
I have no idea where you are getting “standard WP-behaviour”. As you can see from the https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/, xprofile improvements are scheduled for BuddyPress 1.3.
