    Hi,

    Can we modify the page that opens when we click on a profile name (for exemple, when we click on the name of an user who commented on a post). At the moment, the link opens the “Activity” page of that user. I would like it to show the “Profile” page of that user instead. Any easy solution?

    I am using BuddyPress 1.6.1 as part of a template I bought from Themeforest, template is called “reviewit”. ReviewIt is built as a BuddyPress/bbPress theme as far as i know.

    I was just abut to post this exact same question. Anyone out there able to help us out?

    I want my user profiles (front end view) to open up a custom page. If this is not an option then I would like the standard “Profile” page to show.

    TIA BuddyPress gurus!

    To start off, you’d have to change template tags e.g. change default link to Member Activity Page to Member Profile page

    change
<a href="<?php bp_member_permalink(); ?>"><?php bp_member_avatar(); ?></a>
to
<a href=”<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain(); ?>”><?php bp_member_avatar(); ?></a>

change
<a href="<?php bp_member_permalink(); ?>"><?php bp_member_name(); ?></a>
to
<a href=”<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain(); ?>”><?php bp_member_name(); ?></a>

    Hi, thank you for quick answer.

    I looked but couldn’t find in which .php file I should make those change.

    Instead of the template change suggested above, it works better to add the following

    /* set default BP to profile page instead of activity page */
define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );

    in your wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file (create that file if it does not exist – see https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/bp-custom-php/ for more about that file).
