The following should do it – put this in your functions file

function bbp_website_information () 
//This function adds the website to the avatar display of topics/replies
{
	echo '<li>' ; 
	$user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
	global $wpdb;
	$url = get_userdata($user_id) ;
	$url=$url->user_url ;
	$url='<a href="'.$url.'">'.$url.'</a>';
	echo $url ;
	echo '</li>' ;
}
		
add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'bbp_website_information') ;

There is actually a patch to add this permanently to bbPress 2.6

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2570

Do you think this is a good idea?

Should it be an active hyperlink or plain text? (I just realised my patch is only plain text)

Anyway, for now here is the patch as a plugin https://gist.github.com/ntwb/a19b187f2170235f16bf
(The extra HTML markup should match it to the existing profile fields for most themes)

Note: If this is shipped with bbPress 2.6 you will then see two profile fields 😉

Great, and yes I think it should be a link – it bugs me to have to copy/paste into a browser – but maybe as a new window?

‘a big pet peeve of my mine’

and also of mine for exactly the opposite reason !!

Where I want the user to go down a route and not have to backtrack through 10 pages they have subsequently looked at, then your logic is fine, they will go that way.

Where clearly you want them to be able to take a look, but not lose where they are, then a new window is logical.

Finally I dislike the ‘thought police’ making up a standard and then trying to tell us what we should do. I thought the internet was about freedom of expression !

So taking the last sentence I wrote, then I have absolutely no issue with bbpress not coding for new window, but I would 🙂

Thanks, Stephen ! 🙂

Thanks steven finally got it working.

And a year later I must add my thanks- I also have been able to use all this so that it works nicely, including the additional location field and with both website and/or location showing in the profile only if it is filled in…

Getting the location to show in the profile properly took a little more than the changes Steven mentions making to Robin’s code… For anyone else who might come this way here is all of it put together…

/* Add Location field to bbPress user profile page.
 */
function ntwb_user_contact_methods_location( $user_contact ){

	/* Add user contact methods */
	$user_contact['location'] = __('Location');

	return $user_contact;
}
add_filter('user_contactmethods', 'ntwb_user_contact_methods_location');

/* Show Location in bbPress user profile.
 */
function user_profile_bbp_location_information()	{
//this function adds the location to the profile display menu
	$location=bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'location' ) ;
	if ( ! empty($location) ) {
		$label1 =  $rpi_options['item1_label'] ;
		echo "<p>" ;
		printf ( __( 'Location : ', 'bbpress' ));
		echo $location;
		echo"</p>" ;
	}
}
add_action ('bbp_template_after_user_profile', 'user_profile_bbp_location_information') ;

/* Show website in bbPress user profile.
 */
function user_profile_bbp_website_information()	{
//this function adds the website to the profile display menu
	$url=bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'user_url' ) ;
	if ( ! empty($url) ) {
		$label1 =  $rpi_options['item1_label'] ;
		echo "<p>" ;
		printf ( __( 'Website : ', 'bbpress' ));
		$url='<a href="'.$url.'">'.$url.'</a>';
		echo $url;
		echo"</p>" ;
	}
}
add_action ('bbp_template_after_user_profile', 'user_profile_bbp_website_information') ;
