Unfortunately I can’t recall it anymore. Don’t know what was it. In the end I moved to BuddyBoss Pro product and never looked back.

Good luck.

Thanks for your input but don’t waste time. I contacted some developers and they were able to provide me the code. It worked and I moved on to another project, I don’t even remember it. Anyway it was possible.

All the best to you and stay healthy.

Cheers

Hi there. Sorry for reviving this thread. But I had to as this is some serious privacy issue.

A code from “bjornwebdesign” is definitely working but not completely. I mean on this code posted in his “Ok, last time, I promise :p…”

/*
 * Do stuff when the user's xprofile is updated
*/	
function xprofile_updated ( $user_id, $posted_field_ids, $errors, $old_values, $new_values) {
	/*
	 * Change the user_nicename which is used as profile url, we do NOT want the username in url! Bad bad BP...
	 * Please note: the user profile url can now be changed by the user, direct linking from other places on the web may result in 404.
	 * Altough this should run AFTER updating profile fields (saving to DB), the nicename is only updated after a second save. So we need to check from $new_values
	 */
	$new_display_name = '';
	foreach ( $new_values as $key => $value ) {
		if ( is_array($value) && $key == 1 ) { // field display_name = 1, make sure this is correct
			foreach ( $value as $k => $v ) {
				if ( $k == 'value' ) {
					$new_display_name = $v;
				}
			}
		}
	}
	//error_log('******** xprofile_updated: '.$user_id.' | NEW DISPLAY_NAME: '.$new_display_name.' *********');
	$search = array( ' ', '.' ); 
	$replace = array( '_', '' );
	$user = get_user_by( 'ID', $user_id );		
	if ( $user ) {
		if ( $user->data->user_status == 0 && $new_display_name ) {
			$new_user_nicename = strtolower(str_replace( $search, $replace, $new_display_name) );
			if ( strlen ( $new_user_nicename ) > 50 ) {
				$new_user_nicename = substr ( $new_user_nicename, 0, 50 );
			}				
			if ( $user->data->user_nicename != $new_user_nicename ) { // && $user->ID == 80 <-Add this if you only want to run it for 1 user, so you can test it.
				$args = array(
					'ID'            => $user->ID,
					'user_nicename' => $new_user_nicename
				);
				wp_update_user( $args );
				//error_log('******** updated user_nicename: '.$user->ID.' | NEW USER_NICENAME: '.$new_user_nicename.' *********');
				wp_redirect( get_site_url().'/leden/'.$new_user_nicename.'/profile/edit/group/1/' ); // we cant use bp_core_get_user_domain() here, because it still uses the old user_nicename
				exit;					
			}
		}
	}
}
add_action( 'xprofile_updated_profile',  'xprofile_updated', 100, 5 );

– but there is one critical flaw. After code is applied, user can not update their profile anymore. Like you can go to (example) update name or nickname. You press save and nothing changes. Profile is not updated.

If I apply “bjornwebdesign” previous code (meaning code he posted just before his latest code) –

/*
 * Change the user_nicename which is used as profile url, we do NOT want the username in url! Bad bad BP...
 * This runs allways (with init hook), we should only do this once and then on user register & profile update..
 * Please note: the user profile url can now be changed by the user, direct linking from other places on the web may result in 404.
 * And offcourse allways use something like: 'bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id )' when you want to get the user's profile url.
 */
$search = array( ' ', '.' ); 
$replace = array( '_', '' );
$all_users = get_users();		
foreach ( $all_users as $user ) {
	$display_name = $user->data->display_name;
	if ( $user->data->user_status == 0 && $display_name ) {
		$new_user_nicename = strtolower(str_replace( $search, $replace, $display_name) );
		if ( strlen ( $new_user_nicename ) > 50 ) {
			$new_user_nicename = substr ( $new_user_nicename, 0, 50 );
		}				
		if ( $user->data->user_nicename != $new_user_nicename ) { // && $user->ID == 80 <-Add this if you only want to run it for 1 user, so you can test it.
			$args = array(
				'ID'            => $user->ID,
				'user_nicename' => $new_user_nicename
			);
			wp_update_user( $args );					
		}
	}
}

then updating of profile is working. User can update profile but after pressing “Save” there is 404 error. Even 404 is acceptable as at least user can update their profile. However performance is severely degraded on a website with many members.

So basically only his latest code is working in a way that their profile URL is hidden, performance is not degraded but user profiles can not be saved or updated. Can anyone help and update his code so that user are able to update their profiles?

Excuse me but this solution posted here must be a terrible bad joke.

Why would i install caching plugin to a forum and then i am excluding forum from caching?!?

Some of You guys either deliberately joined forces to confuse us (that’s meant to be a joke) or you don’t know what are you doing with caching plugin.
