It’s a little bit hard to do with the standard method of appending the redirect URL as an argument to the href link. At the time that the page is built from the template, you don’t know what the username is – it’s only after the user types in his username that you know what the redirect URL should be (eg http://example.com/members/boonebgorges), but by that time the page has already been built.

Unless there’s an all-purpose logged-in-user-profile URL alias built into BP that I don’t know about (maybe something like http://example.com/members/myprofile). Actually, now that I think about it, such a thing might not be too hard to create. If I get some spare time in the next few days maybe I’ll take a swing at it.

OK, I cobbled together a solution. Two steps:

1. Add the following code to your bp-custom.php folder or in your child theme’s functions.php (or a plugin if you roll that way):

   function myprofile_redirect() {
   
   global $bp;
   
   
   
   if ( $bp->current_component == 'myprofile' && $bp->loggedin_user->domain != '' ) {
   
   bp_core_redirect( $bp->loggedin_user->domain );
   
   } elseif ( $bp->current_component == 'myprofile' ) {
   
   bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain );
   
   }
   
   
   
   }
   
   add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'myprofile_redirect');

2. In header.php of your child theme (copy it over from bp-sn-parent if you don’t have one there already) replace

   <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo bp_root_domain() ?>" />

   around line 57 with

   <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php print ( bp_root_domain() . '/myprofile' ) ?>" />

Anytime a logged-in user types in the address http://example.com/myprofile, they’ll get their profile. Non-logged-in visitors will be redirected to the home page.

Let me know if it works for you.

hi all,

Well,I had experimented with login feature and came up with another solution.I just blogged it and here is the code for your reference.

My goal was

1.redirect normal users to their profile,whether they try to login from front pages(yeh,site front page or any other page on site) or wp-login.php

2.If the user is Site admin, and logs from site front page,redirect him to front page

3.If User is Site admin and tries to login from wp-login.php,that means he is interested in login to wp-admin,so let him go to the mu dashboard.

here is the code you need to put in your bp-custom.php and It will handle it all for you.

add_filter("login_redirect","bpdev_redirect_to_profile",10,3);



function bpdev_redirect_to_profile($redirect_to_calculated,$redirect_url_specified,$user)

{

if(empty($redirect_to_calculated))

$redirect_to_calculated=admin_url();



/*if the user is not site admin,redirect to his/her profile*/

if(!is_site_admin($user->user_login))

return bp_core_get_user_domain($user->ID );

else

return $redirect_to_calculated; /*if site admin or not logged in,do not do anything much*/



}

and No need to modify anything else.

Edit:I tried posting code twice ,hopefully the code is their in this post.

agree that it should be in Core, that a user will be immediately at his own Profile-page after log-in.

Hope to see this.

Thanks Andy !

Create a file called /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php and put the following code in there:

<?php

add_filter("login_redirect","bpdev_redirect_to_profile",10,3);



function bpdev_redirect_to_profile($redirect_to_calculated,$redirect_url_specified,$user)

{

if(empty($redirect_to_calculated))

$redirect_to_calculated=admin_url();



/*if the user is not site admin,redirect to his/her profile*/

if(!is_site_admin($user->user_login))

return bp_core_get_user_domain($user->ID );

else

return $redirect_to_calculated; /*if site admin or not logged in,do not do anything much*/



}
