Hi @missmad,

this url doesn’t exist, as there is no page called dashboard in WordPress.

Dashboard is related to wordpress administration. To go there, the path is your-site/wp-admin/index.php

On a user’s profile, there is a profile settings page.
your-site/members/username/settings/

Do you mean this URL ?

You can’t directly get working url without using little bit of php code (while you’re accessing users profile).. If your content page allows php code, try this: /dashboard”>Dashboard

else,

if you are looking for just a profile link of users (any users), then create a page named “profile” and add this code in your functions.php or custom-functions.php :

function redirect2profile(){
	include_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/plugin.php' );
	if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/profile/' && is_plugin_active('buddypress/bp-loader.php') && is_user_logged_in()){
		global $current_user;
		wp_redirect( get_bloginfo('url') . '/members/'. $current_user->user_login . '/profile/'); 
		exit();
	}
 }
add_action('init', 'redirect2profile');

Above line will work only if you have set the members directory as “members” in the buddypress settings.. If you named it other, then simply mention that instead of “member” in the /members/ place.

By doing this you can simply paste url = http://www.mywebsite.com/profile anywhere.. When the users click on the link, it will be directed to their respective profile page..

But, but: The later tricks will be much slower to access the given link than the former..Choice is yours!

Good luck.
