Hello, when I go to the Profile View where there are info like name, position etc. In the email info when I push on the email address it transfers me to the page (e.g @gmail.com it transfers me to gmail.com , when @yahoo.com it transfers me to yahoo.com), it works like url (I dont want that). I want when I am clicking the email address to open my email automatically so I can send an email and if this is not possible,then better not to be clickable so it wont transfer me somewhere. Waiting for your help. Thank you.

You can prevent auto-links in the profile areas.

You need to create a file called bp-custom.php and then add this function to it:
```
function remove_xprofile_links() {
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'remove_xprofile_links' );
```

Hello, I have created the bp-custom.php inside the wp-content/plugins and put inside the code

<?php
function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 9, 2 );
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘remove_xprofile_links’ );

?>

but still the email works like a url link. Did I do something wrong…

You may be able to disable the linking in the admin. Go to Dashboard > Users > Profile Fields. Find the Email field, and click Edit. On the right-hand column, find the “Autolink” metabox. Switch it to ‘Disabled’ and save.
