Hello everyone.

I already searched for my problem but couldnt find any working solution for my bbpress 2.0.2.

Since there is no direct link for users to change their profile (not good), therefore I am searching to generate a link to put in a header or so.

I only found solutions for older bbpress installations with user id (number) but in the new bbpress it looks like you need userNAMES.

Can somebody paste me a working php code to display a profile-link? Thx!

I found this in the template files.

<?php bbp_user_profile_edit_url(); ?>

I am not very good in php, how do I display this link? Do you have a code for me with echo function?, thx!

That should echo it out for you as well I think.

If it doesn’t then you can just use echo in front of it. Might be a good idea to get to grips with a bit of PHP if you are looking at anymore customization.

It is fairly easy to move things around and echo different bits out.

echo bbp_user_profile_edit_url();

That is it

<?php echo bbp_user_profile_edit_url(); ?> isnt working, no output at all.

Any other suggestions? Cant be that difficult? Maybe someone from bbpress support can help?!

I forgot you might need to grab the current user id, depending on where you are trying to use that code.

<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>

I just tried it and it works perfectly in my header. Good luck.

Great, thats exactly what I was searching for. I guess this will also help other people…

Thax lynq for your help!
