issue with profile link in floating menu

[Haime Croeze]

Hi,

I noticed on my site that the profile link (My Name) is pointing to /profile/edit instead of to /profile

On buddyboss site the link is correct (pointing to /profile)

Is this a BP issue or is it in the floating menu of BB? I am using 4.0.6 with BP 2.1

regards,

[Haime Croeze]

I meant on BB it points to /profile/activity …

@haime a plugin could be causing this, or custom coding. Try disabling your plugins and see if it reverts back.

I disabled all plugins except for BP (2.1) and I still have this issue. I do not see where I can correct this.

On BuddyBoss profile here I see it is set to /members/haime/activity

On my site it is set to /members/haime/profile/edit

🙁

Probably a BP issue, but seeing that on buddyboss.com it is as I would like to have it also any help would be really appreciated 🙂

@haime can you send me a screenshot to make sure we are talking about the same link? Thanks!

[Haime Croeze]

@admin see attached a screenshot from my site. The link I am talking about is circled in red

BTW. maybe because I do not have Wall Plugin?

I am having this exact same issue.

The link in the dropdown takes me to /wp-admin/profile.php, instead of to /members/username.

@haime @joshuamrosenau you are correct this is a function of the BuddyBoss Wall Plugin. It is on line 412:

function update_wp_menus()
	{
		global $wp_admin_bar, $bp;

		$domain = $bp->loggedin_user->domain;

		$profile_link = $domain . $bp->activity->slug . '/';

		$activity_link = trailingslashit( $domain . $bp->activity->slug );
// Change menus item to link to wall
			$user_info = $wp_admin_bar->get_node( 'user-info' );
			if ( ! is_object( $user_info ) ) $user_info = new stdClass();
			$user_info->href = trailingslashit( $activity_link );
			$wp_admin_bar->add_node( $user_info );

			$my_acct = $wp_admin_bar->get_node( 'my-account' );
			if ( ! is_object( $my_acct ) ) $my_acct = new stdClass();
			$my_acct->href = trailingslashit( $activity_link );
			$wp_admin_bar->add_node( $my_acct );
		}
	}

add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'update_wp_menus', 99 )

Ok, so I would need Wall plugin for this to work 🙂

PS I tried this code in bp-custom but that does not work.

@haime I updated some errors in the code above, try now. No guarantees.

[Haime Croeze]

@admin I got it working now in bp-custom.php ! 🙂 Had to make two small changes to your code (remove last } and add ; after the add_action line)

function update_wp_menus()
	{
		global $wp_admin_bar, $bp;

		$domain = $bp->loggedin_user->domain;

		$profile_link = $domain . $bp->activity->slug . '/';

		$activity_link = trailingslashit( $domain . $bp->activity->slug );
// Change menus item to link to wall
			$user_info = $wp_admin_bar->get_node( 'user-info' );
			if ( ! is_object( $user_info ) ) $user_info = new stdClass();
			$user_info->href = trailingslashit( $activity_link );
			$wp_admin_bar->add_node( $user_info );

			$my_acct = $wp_admin_bar->get_node( 'my-account' );
			if ( ! is_object( $my_acct ) ) $my_acct = new stdClass();
			$my_acct->href = trailingslashit( $activity_link );
			$wp_admin_bar->add_node( $my_acct );
	}
	
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'update_wp_menus', 99 );

Thanks a lot!
