Hi guys, so ive followed this function from the bbpress codex webpage…

// Filter wp_nav_menu() to add profile link
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_profile_link' );
function my_nav_menu_profile_link($menu) {
    if (!is_user_logged_in())
        return $menu;
    else
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user=$current_user->display_name;
        $profilelink = '<li><a href="/forum/users/' . $user . '/edit">Edit Profile</a></li>';
        $menu = $menu . $profilelink;
        return $menu;
 }

Its working great. the problem im having though is if the user has a space in their name it will produce a invalid link.. for example

if the users name was Adam John

the link will be http://www.example/forum/users/adam john/ and it wont work..

any ideas? thank you in advance!
