I am trying to create a link in the membership directory under each person’s name.
You can see what I have so far at http://transylvaniawellnessalliance.com/members/.

I did this by putting this code into the members-loop.php file.
`

<a id="profession" href="http://transylvaniawellnessalliance.com/wellness-businesses/”&gt;

`

This grabs the name of the member’s profession from their profile data and uses is to create a link to a page that describes that profession. This works great except for one small problem:

When the profession has 2 names such as “Naturopathic Doctor,” I need to turn this into a slug so that the link works. I have tried using the “sanitize_title_with_dashes()” function but it kept returning empty or doing nothing.

How can I get the “Naturopathic Doctor” to read “naturopathic-doctor” inside the link?

Thank you for any help,
Glenn

sanitize_title_with_dashes() should work. This might be a stupid question, but can you show how you were trying it? Thanks.

That is likely the problem. I’m not a coder.
I have tried a variety of markups. Here is an example:
`

<a id="profession" href="http://transylvaniawellnessalliance.com/wellness-businesses/”&gt;

`
This returns the link unsanitized (ex: http://transylvaniawellnessalliance.com/wellness-businesses/Naturopathic Doctor).

Okay, I figured out how to do it using another post of yours:
`<?php
function member_loop_profession_link(){
$data = bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=Profession’ );
if ( $data ){
$sandata = sanitize_title_with_dashes($data);
echo “

{$data}

“;
}
}
add_action( ‘bp_directory_members_item’, ‘member_loop_profession_link’ );

?>`
This is placed in functions.php.
It works like a charm; thank you so much.
