I installed bbpress on my website and while I get the forums on my backend, I do not see any backend menu for the bbp user profiles (all I have is the default WP user profile) – is that how it is suppose to work? Are users suppose to just edit their profiles from the front end only? Also, if I just want to use the default wp profiles for the forum how do I do that? Further, how do I disable links to the user/author profile in the forums? (Sorry if the questions seem to too naive, I am a WP/BBP newbie)

Think that’s pretty well how it was intended, and agree that some bits could be clearer.

If a user clicks their avatar they will be taken to their profile and can amend it.

I have downloaded the enhanced text widget

https://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-text-widget/

and then I have a text entry of

<p><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>edit" >Amend Profile/Change password</a></p>

in my widget sidebar to make it obvious for users.
