First you could try Robin’s bbPress plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-profile-information/
Same with BuddyPress integration: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-buddypress-profile-information/
If you’re not using BuddyPress though I would highly recommend looking into it. You can enable “Extended Profile Fields” and there’s also a plugin for custom field types: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types/
As far as the outbound links themselves go you might need to code/style them yourself unless your theme automatically converts links.
Wow thanks Robin! I just saw this addition!
Wow, thanks Robin! Looks like it was there the whole time!
I’m a bit confused though. I can only find reference to this on the BuddyBoss website. Are these bbp core functions and not part of BuddyBoss? I’m sure I found this before but probably dismissed it as part of their platform.
