Profile URLs don't work properly.

    Hi,

    I just installed BuddyPress on WordPress 2.9.2, and I used the theme compatibility plugin to fix the theme for bp. The problem is, the URL for the profile page is like /members/Dennis Pedrie/profile/.

    It redirects me back to the home page. Going to /members/ works fine.

    Thanks

    I fixed the adminbar by changing line 72 of bp-core-adminbar.php to:

    echo '<a id="bp-admin-' . $nav_item['css_id'] . '" href="' . str_replace( $bp->displayed_user->userdata->user_nicename, $bp->loggedin_user->userdata->user_login, $nav_item['link'] ) . '">' . $nav_item['name'] . '</a>';

    And lines 79-82 to:

    $link = str_replace( $bp->displayed_user->userdata->user_nicename, $bp->loggedin_user->userdata->user_login, $subnav_item['link'] );
    $name = str_replace( $bp->displayed_user->userdata->user_login, $bp->loggedin_user->userdata->user_login, $subnav_item['name'] );
    $alt = ( 0 == $sub_counter % 2 ) ? ' class="alt"' : '';
    echo '<li' . $alt . '><a id="bp-admin-' . $subnav_item['css_id'] . '" href="' . $link . '">' . $name . '</a></li>';

    But that only fixes the menu. Links on the profile page are still wrong.

    I think it is something to do with bp_core_get_username() asking for a Display Name rather than a User Login. Any ideas?

    Sorry, I promise I’m not being an ass with the bumping on purpose.

    Try accessing it using this instead:

    /members/Dennis-Pedrie/profile/

    That redirects me home. It works fine when it’s given a username (/members/dpedrie/profile), but none of the links throughout all of buddypress give you the correct link.

    That’s odd. If you sign up typing in Dennis Pedrie as the username (not Name), then the profile link should be /members/Dennis-Pedrie/profile

    I tested using Guest User and it’s /members/Guest-User/profile

    [wordpress2.9.2 + buddypress1.2]

    I finally fixed it by defining BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE in wp-config.php

    Dennis, I was able to apply that to my wp-config.php file and the view profile link works…but some of the other links (edit profile) don’t work.

    Any idea why?
