Hey Everyone,

I was wondering on how to make it so when a user clicks on their name on the top bar that it redirects to my BuddyPress profile instead?

Here’s a reference (I’m talking about the name all the way on the left) – https://gyazo.com/7650bac328c761724481ed3c7340c4df

Thanks!

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no setting that can do this. You will have to use 301 redirects. Please try this method: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-creating-redirects-in-wordpress/

Thank you!

Follow the instructions for Headers on this page about child theming for Newspaper: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/

Then, on line 52 of top-menu.php change the following code:

… get_author_posts_url($current_user->ID) …

to the following:

… bp_core_get_user_domain($current_user->ID) …

Now the user links to their BuddyPress profile instead of their author page.

That code worked for me, it took me to the buddypress profile, but parts of site template went missing (sidebar, footer, etc)
