Check this link out and see how it implements a profile link to the wp_nav_menu

You can see how to construct the profile link to add to the wp_nav_menu. Use the code I previously supplied to construct the links.

Try activating twenty twelve theme or bp-default and see if the issue persists. It would help if you would also supply the name of the theme. If you have plugins enabled other than BuddyPress then disable them as well so you can try to isolate if the issue is plugin or theme related.

@romandaily
Your welcome, I do think it is strange that a theme would contain images of a bullet instead of using standard markup but I am glad you got it worked out.
Cheers!

@romandaily
That is one reason I asked if you had tried the other themes as to isolate the issue. Now that we know it is your theme you can use chromes developer tools and firebug for firefox to inspect the elements. The css code I gave you may need to be modified because I have no idea which selectors are using in this particular theme. If you…[Read more]

@romandaily
Not sure what theme your using because of the cropped image but you could try adding something like this to the themes style.css
ul, li {
list-style-type: none !important;
}

Have you checked to see if these bullets show up when activating Twenty Twelve Theme or bp-default?

@ericaeide
Have you tested the plugin with all other plugins other than BP and bbPress deactivated because it works pretty sweet for me and I am not just saying it because it is my plugin? When I say deactivate all but BuddyPress and bbPress it means all and not just the ones you choose to leave activated. This is basic troubleshooting procedures!

Where there is a will there is always a way!

@craigheyworth
Your welcome glad I could assist you!

@craigheyworth
Oops I forgot to wrap the code lets try again:
For Friends Link:
<a href="<?php global $current_user; echo home_url() . '/members/' . $current_user->user_login . '/friends/'; ?>">Friends</a>


For Messages Link:
<a href="<?php global $current_user; echo home_url() . '/members/' . $current_user->user_login . '/messages/';…[Read more]

@craigheyworth
You can try these with the text widget providing you enabled php like my example above.
For Friends Link:
user_login . ‘/friends/’; ?>”>Friends

For Messages Link:
user_login . ‘/messages/’; ?>”>Messages

May not be perfect but it works. You could add an unordered list and wrap them in list items and style them how you choose. Good…

If your logged in you would be redirected to the home page. Its default behavior. Try logging out then typing the url. Search on here for similar threads because this has been covered many times over and you should find the solution in those threads.

@craigheyworth
I was actually just responding about it being dangerous. I simply meant if someone tells you it is dangerous they should at least say why, after all you was only going to use it to add links.

@craigheyworth
I guess that is good info if you knew in the first place how to create your own widgets and I am assuming you wouldn’t otherwise you wouldn’t have asked for help. Also if one does not elaborate why it is not safe, I personally would like to here the explanation as to why myself. You just wanted to create some dynamic links correct?…[Read more]

@craigheyworth
You would have to enable php in widgets before you do anything. You can use this code in your themes functions.php to enable it:
add_filter('widget_text','execute_php',100);
function execute_php($html){
if(strpos($html,"<"."?php")!==false){
ob_start();
eval("?".">".$html);
$html=ob_get_contents();…[Read more]

@tduschei
That really is not what the unlbocked pages are meant to display. It is not meant for pages that need to generate the unique id of a a logged in user. That would defeat the purpose of the plugin. You can allow logged out visitors to view the members though by entering: members
in one of the unblocked page fields. I hope you understand…[Read more]

@tduschei
By default the front page you set in dashboard/settings/reading is not blocked. To un-block a page with a url like this for example: http://your-site/sample-page/
You would go to dashboard/settings/privatecommunitybp and in one of the unblocked page fields you would only need to enter: sample-page because it already gets the rest of the…[Read more]

As @hnla said try activating the Twenty Twelve theme and see if the issue persists. It may be your theme and if that is the case then you will need to request support from them.

Did you go to dashboard/settings/general and check the box beside membership that anyone can register?

@mohsenm @4ella
Yeah Brajesh’s plugin works great. Here is an alternate method I posted on my blog if you wanna give it a try.
