[Resolved] Better access to our bbpress profile page

[Pete]

Hi Tom, I always struggle to find my list of posts on this forum. There’s no easily viewable link to my bbpress profile page with all my created forum posts. The only way I know how to find the page is to tap on my gravatar to take me there… So I find myself running around the forum trying to track down a post of mine to find my gravatar. My suggestion is to have a highly visible link to our bbpress profile page after we login on the front support page.

Cheers,
Pete

Good idea – I’ll see what I can do 🙂

The following snippet will add a “profile” link to the top right of the nav menu for anyone that is logged in:

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_profile_link' );
function my_nav_menu_profile_link($menu) { 	
	if (!is_user_logged_in())
		return $menu;
	else
		$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
		$user=$current_user->user_login ;
		$profilelink = '<li><a href="http://localhost/forum/forums/users/' . $user . '/edit">My Profile</a></li>';
		$menu = $menu . $profilelink;
		return $menu;
}

Kind Regards

Max

Nice! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Maybe you can rework it a little to put a my profile link in the side bar under your Login button…

[Tom]

That’s the plan 🙂

Has this been implemented?

[Tom]

Not yet, thanks for the reminder.

Hasn’t been a priority as it’s quite easy to access as is. I haven’t forgotten, but major GP updates have been my complete focus lately.

fixed thanks
