Improve Editing Capability for Profiles?

Hi,

While I’m able to edit users from the front end, this is limited to the information on their BP profiles. Would it be possible to add/change a link (possibly in the toolbar) that would also enable me to edit them through the dashboard?

Asking because I frequently need to make changes (i.e. adding them to different forum groups) that fall outside BP profile editing capabilities. Currently, I have to go to the dashboard and look them up manually… it would be so much more convenient if there was a link I could just click from their profile page for direct access.

I hope this is clear. If not, please let me know, and I’ll try to word it differently.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hey Heather, did you ever find a solution for this? I am having the same issue but with groups.

Sadly, no. Please post here if you find one – I’d still be interested.

Hi heather, you could add an Edit User extra tab on the profile tabs, it will display only for admin.
```
add_action( 'bp_member_options_nav', 'add_profile_tab_link' );
 
function add_profile_tab_link() {
if( !current_user_can('administrator') ) return;
$url = site_url();
$url .= '/wp-admin/user-edit.php?user_id=';
$url .= bp_displayed_user_id();
echo "<li><a href='$url'>Edit User</a></li>";
}
```
