nowhere for user to enter bio

    Hi i’ve used your plugin at http://renderwars.xyz

    I’ve noticed there seems to be nowhere for the user to create the text for the profile screen (the screen people see when they click on the authors name).

    I’d also like the list of recent posts on the user’s profile page to be in a pageable grid with thumbnails.

    Can you help?

    Hi,

    To enter bio you can create a profile field https://codex.buddypress.org/administrator-guide/extended-profiles/ and then from the profile you can enter the bio.

    For the post list, you need customizations.

    Thanks

    Thanks, with your advice I was able to add the fields to the users edit profile page, but I dont see a way of getting the information to appear on their profile page when others view it.

    Can you advise?

    Ok, I found the problem. Clicking on Author’s names was actually linking to:

    renderwars.xyz/author/michael

    when it should have been linking to:

    renderwars.xyz/members/michael

    for buddypress to work properly I had to create a child theme and then add a redirect rule in the child themes functions.php file.

    For anyone else with the same problem who might not be too good at php etc, here’s the instructins I found to help me:

    Creating a child theme:

    https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

    and then putting this code in the function.php:

    add_filter( 'author_link', 'change_author_link', 10, 1  );
    
      function change_author_link($link) {
       $username=get_the_author_meta('user_nicename');
    
      $link = 'http://example.com/members/' . $username;
       return $link;
     }

    What i’d like to do now is get the new bio information onto the

    renderwars.xyz/members/michael page, instead of on the

    renderwars.xyz/members/michael/profile page.

    I think this would be a good idea as this is where people will land when clicking on a persons name.

    You can override cover-image-header.php file in your child theme and then can output the bio just below the cover image.

    Thanks
