Hey guys, I am trying to post a link to the current users blog posts in a widget. Right now I am able to make a link to the current LOGGED IN user, but I need it to be the DISPLAYED user. It needs to be http://www.mysite.com/author/DISPLAYEDUSERNAME/

Any help is much appreciated thanks!!!

`bp_displayed_user_username()` is what you’re looking for.

If you’re looking to just return the displayed username, use `bp_get_displayed_user_username()`.

For more template tags, check out /bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php.

Hey ray thanks for your reply! I am very new to all of this, I know it is asking a lot but if you could give me an example of the exact code I would need to type in my php widget to get this to work I would be EXTREMELY grateful!

Here is what I was using for the logged in user, not sure where exactley to put the new alterations for a Displayed user:

global $current_user;
$username = $current_user->user_login;
