Strange links in Buddypress profiles

Hi,

I’ve come across an weird styling issue with Buddypress which is difficult to explain.

I have noticed that if a comma is used in a Buddypress profile, it creates a link.

For example, in this member’s profile: http://teachmekorean.co/members/aaliyah/ , she uses a comma after her name, which makes the text “Hey everyone. I’m Aaliyah” a link which goes to the members page.

It also makes the text after a comma bold.

I have tried reverting to the original Twenty Twelve theme, but no matter which theme I use, this problem persists. It seems to be an error with Buddypress.

Is there a way to stop this happening?

Thank you!! 🙂

Hi @koreancandy

Looking at the Name and Location profile fields, they’re also linked? To remove these links, check out the bp-custom.php article.

I have followed the instructions in the link provided, but when I add the file, I get this error:

Is there any idea how to fix this?

Thank you

Make sure you have no white space at the start of bp-custom.php.

This might cause the “headers already sent” error:
```
 
<?php
Your code..
```
This is the same file with whitespace removed:
```
<?php
Your code..
```

Hmm there is no whitespace at all.

Tell a lie, there was a space.

Thank you for your help 🙂
