In the old version of bbPress, I could redirect to a WordPress user profile (or BuddyPress profile) by editing template files and changing profile links to:

<a href="<?php echo get_user_slug( get_post_author_id() ); ?>"><?php post_author( get_post_id() ); ?></a>

Doesn’t seem like this will work with the bbPress plugin. Is there some way I can do this with the new version? Thanks!

I’m very much interested in this as well..

Help?

Really, no way to redirect to non-bbpress profile?

Would be helpful to know how to integrate BuddyPress hooks into the bbp template as well. For example:

<?php echo xprofile_get_field_data(#); ?>

or

<a href="<?php bp_displayed_user_link() ?>"><?php bp_displayed_user_fullname() ?></a>

Ok. So, turns out part of this one was stupidly easy. To have the profile link to a BuddyPress user profile, chance the User Base to ‘members’ instead of ‘users’.

Now, getting BP xprofile info to show up when called… any ideas?
