    User profile settings are different between bb and wp.

    When the user is logged on wp I want to have a link like "View Your Profile" which goes to his wp profile.
    Same when logged in on bb I would like to have a link to the user's bb profile.

    What do you adivise? How can I make the diff between forum pages and wp pages ? My site is bb subdir integration.

    Thanks.

  2. wp uses a static, non-user specific link. You can therefore go to your profile in admin and use the URL of that as the link for everybody.

    bb has a function you can call: user_profile_link(), just like that as far as I can tell.

    Just change the theme appropriately for both bb and wp.

  3. Not a bad idea for the wordpress integration plugin... redirect the results of user_profile_link to the wordpress page.

  4. On my new site http://www.SportSayer.com , you can check out what I did. I send all logins and profile views to bbpress's version, the user never (hopefully) sees the wordpress login page or wordpress plugin page. I like how bbpress is more integrated into the site rather than wordpress's which is a different template.
