Testing to see if current page is profile page

I’m using the code below to insert a menu link to user’s profile if they are logged in and to give it a “selected” class. It works, but the link is chosen as selected even when it is not on the members profile page, it is “selected” on every page…

Anyone have any ideas on what I would I add to test “if current page is profile page” to THEN add the “selected” class?

Thanks!!!
```
<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {

if ( strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "/members/{$current_user->user_login}/") !== false ) { ?>



<li ><?php bp_loggedinuser_link () ?></li>

<?php } else { ?>

<li class="selected"><?php bp_loggedinuser_link () ?></li>



<?php }

} ?>
```

Not sure exactly what “if current page is profile page” means. You can check if the current user is in *their* profile with bp_is_home(). It returns true if the user is viewing their own profile. You can find out what user is being displayed with $bp->displayed_user->id

Thanks Burt, that did the trick!

The clarify, this adds a menu link to user’s profile page when they are logged in using their name as the anchor text. Then it adds the “selected” class to dynamically highlight the link only when the user is on their profile page, otherwise there is no “selected” class and the link is not highlighted ….

Thanks again.

Final Code:
```
<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {



if ( bp_is_home()) { ?>



<li class="selected"><?php bp_loggedinuser_link () ?></li>

<?php } else { ?>

<li ><?php bp_loggedinuser_link () ?></li>



<?php }

} ?>
```
