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.

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;
 }

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?
