Allow Users Edit Their Profile

Hi,

Let’s take it step by step. If you have disabled the admin bar, your members cannot access these buddypress settings – http://screencast.com/t/WA82kKcQl As if you click on top menu user link(theme’s code) – http://screencast.com/t/XRvGnO8tR it will redirect you to the author template – https://projectmanagers.org/author/testuser/ So if you want your members to have access to the buddypress settings/profile you will nee to activate the admin bar or find another solution.

Regarding “Allow your users modify their account” option enabling it your members will have the settings option on their profile – http://screencast.com/t/ryyNhe8dbgvD If I disable it – http://screencast.com/t/yDTqZHz7GnT

Thanks!

Hi,
If you disable the admin bar, you cannot have access to the members area as there is nothing linking to it. If you know the buddypress structure, there is a members area you can access from this link: https://projectmanagers.org/members/ That is how we were able to access that page you are looking for, but without an admin barm your users cannot access the members area. You can alternatively add a custom link to your menu and place the url i provided so your users have access to their profiles. (best way would be through the admin bar)
Thank you!

Hello,
The theme was built to show the ‘author’ page for each user if you click on your profile. The theme does not link to buddypress by default. Theme elements are separate from the plugin elements. If you want to change this implementation, you will need customization services and change the theme code or alternatively use a redirect plugin to make the link point to what you want it to.
Thanks.

Hi,

Let’t try this a different way.
This is not an error, nor an implementation bug. The theme has it’s own implementation and the buddypress plugin has it’s own as well. They are 2 different things.
Our theme creates a so-called ‘author page’ for every user so you will be able to see the profile no matter the role a user has. Even if the user is an admin, an author, an editor, subscriber, they will all be listed and all will have a so called ‘author page’ which is in fact a ‘user page’.
Buddypress has it’s own way of handling the users or members as they call it. They provide the so-called member page that can only be accessed through the plugin and not through the theme itself. The plugin only offers this option through the admin bar and not through our theme elements. I hope this is clear now. Our theme does not link to buddypress. If you want it to, you will require customization services as this is not a default implementation.

Thank you!
