Reply To: Menu link to Profile
I just added to my menu all forum links from a user:
topics, replies, favorites, subscriptions, edit
all under 1 main “Your Forum Settings & Stats” Dropdown, but just call it anything you want.
Get the plugin “WP exec PHP” : https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-exec-php/
No security risk, since you can set the permission for who can add php to pages and such.
Create pages for any links to the profile you want and add the following REDIRECT with php-code in it (adjust to your own domain)
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://domain.com/forums/users/<?php global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
echo $current_user->user_login . "";
?>/edit/">
You could delay the refresh and add a little text to the page, or anything you want.
With many thanks to Diggories (above somewhere) for the php code to get the username in a URL
