User Profile/Sign in/Join Issue

Hi there,

When a user logs into the site and clicks on their username on the sign in/join element on the top bar they are taken to their own author page. How to fix this so that they are taken to their frontend profile instead? I tested for regular users too and it is the same.

Thanks so much.

Hello,

If you click an author, you will be lead to the author page. There is no profile page in our theme. A profile page is created with plugins such as buddypress. If you want to change the default implementation of the theme and change the author page to a buddypress template, you can either redirect the link or alter the theme code.

Thank you!

As mentioned this happens for regular users who have registered on the site, they are not authors. I use bbpress on the site which is supported by the Newspaper theme so we just need to redirect that link to the logged in users bbpress profile page. How to do this?

Thanks.

This is for article and post 301 redirects. I’m requesting support for the login/Logout feature on the Newspaper theme which should go to a logged in users bbpress profile page. This has nothing to do with menus and posts like in the article you suggested.

Hi,

So when the user clicks on the user name in the top bar, you want it to direct to the member page. That could be done by making a modification in the this theme file

Like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/FwogHc9zi
Now the user name will direct to the member page

The solution is based on this topic
