I added more fields to the profile and filled them in. It’s fine except that there are some words, or groups of words, that have turned into links to ‘member profiles.’ Such users do not exist so most of them are links to nowhere. Why are they occurring and how can I get rid of them?

remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 50 );

Thats the code to remove auto links. You can add this to a file bp-custom.php and place file in your plugins folder.

Nothing else you need to do? Just the following code in bp-custom.php which is placed in plugins folder?

`<?php
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 50 );
?>`

Should this prevent existing autolinks in profiles?

it doesn’t work……

does if you try this:

`remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 9, 2 );`
