BuddyPress.org

It’s a dynamic URL — i.e. it changes for each user, so you can’t just type in a single link in html.

It’s easy to do with a bit of PHP code though — just call the function bp_loggedin_user_domain()

Use the function I provided – there’s no need to try and construct the URL yourself (as Toby has tried).

@rogercoathup is right. Use `bp_loggedin_user_domain()` and not my function. …note to self, update header code in my theme…

Regarding how and where to add the code, try adding the following to your template:

“

What is the result?

I am looking for the code to this function as well! I would like to add it as a main menu item. would appreciate any help!

thank you @mercime !

@paintermommy did you ever get this to work with the wishlist plugin? Are your forums private and only for paid members?

@bookee is this related to the login link you wanted in other post?

To solve this I decided to hijack a page. If the member is logged in, they get their profile, otherwise, they go to a signup page.

Just pop the following code into your functions.php file… and create a page named ‘profile’. Now you can add that page to your WP menu and it should do what you need.

 function redirect2profile(){
	include_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/plugin.php' );
	if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/profile/' && is_plugin_active('buddypress/bp-loader.php') && is_user_logged_in()){
		global $current_user;
		wp_redirect( get_bloginfo('url') . '/members/'. $current_user->user_login . '/profile/'); 
		exit();
	}
 }
add_action('init', 'redirect2profile');

A few years ago I set up my first buddypress site and sold it.

I definitely remember using a dynamic url for links to the users profile, activity stream etc.

It was something like:

http://www.mydomain.com/member/$profile/

Are we all sure that this can no longer be done?

Hi there!

This worked quite fine for me, but i have the problem that this code doesnt bring me to a signup page when you aren’t logged in.

I tried to add the redirect with “else” but it didn’t work for me either.
The code has now changed, since I tried to figure out why it doesn’t redirect me to my register page.

I’m not very skilled with PHP so maybe someone can help me out.
I want the code to redirect the not logged in user to a register page

  function redirect2profile(){
	include_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/plugin.php' );
		if ( is_user_logged_in()){
		if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/profile/' && is_plugin_active('buddypress/bp-loader.php')) {
			global $current_user;
			wp_redirect( get_bloginfo('url') . '/member/'. $current_user->user_login . '/profile/'); 
			exit();
			}
	} else {
		if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/profile/' && is_plugin_active('buddypress/bp-loader.php')) {
		wp_redirect( get_bloginfo('url') . '/register/');
		exit();
		}
		}
		 }
add_action('init', 'redirect2profile');
