Re: Author page and profiles
“I am using buddypress but are there any plugins for bp or wordpress that will do what I want?”
Nope. Not that i know of.
“I would also like it if when users clicked on their name it brought them to a full profile page with a list of posts underneath..”
Not sure what your asking here, it sounds like WordPress does this by default with their Author Archives?
“Im looking for a plugin that will provide a list of my authors with a short profile..”
If you require it in a plugin, you might need to hire someone to do it. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/
WordPress has a function called wp_list_authors()
(see: https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_authors)
By default, it will link to the WordPress Author archive, i just used the ‘author_link’ filter to make the author id go through `bp_core_get_userlink();` which will make it link to the User’s BuddyPress profile.
