I am new to WP in general but I do think that viewing other profiles should be possible. As mentioned, it only redirects us to a content restricted page. Not sure if there is a setting somewhere that will allow this function.
To enable users to view other profiles on BuddyPress:
1. **Install and Activate BuddyPress:**
Make sure you have installed and activated the BuddyPress plugin on your WordPress site.
2. **Check Privacy Settings:**
Ensure that users’ profile privacy settings allow their profiles to be viewed by others. Users can control this setting in their profile settings.
3. **Activate Extended Profiles:**
Enable the “Extended Profiles” component in the BuddyPress settings to allow additional fields and information on user profiles.
4. **Verify Theme Compatibility:**
Confirm that your WordPress theme is compatible with BuddyPress to ensure proper display of profile information.
5. **Check User Roles:**
Verify that users attempting to view profiles have the necessary capabilities. By default, registered users should be able to view other registered users’ profiles.
6. **Use BuddyPress Widgets/Shortcodes:**
Utilize BuddyPress widgets and shortcodes to display member directories and user lists. Refer to the BuddyPress documentation for guidance on implementing these features.
7. **Review BuddyPress Documentation:**
Consult the official BuddyPress documentation for any specific settings or features related to profile viewing.
By following these steps, you should enable users to view other profiles seamlessly on your BuddyPress-enabled WordPress site.
