Hi there,
Im having problems viewing the user profile on my BBpress forum integrated in my website. When i try to click on the username of someone that has posted (for example – in the topics section) it takes you to a ‘page not found’ – 404 error page.
Does anyone know how i can fix it so that it takes them to the profile page?
I am using my own bespoke custom theme

Thank you

Hello sorry for reviving this old threat but has anyone found any definitive fix to this? I’m also using hello elementor and my users don’t have any spaces in their names
thanks in advance

Hope this helps. put these codes into your theme functions.php file.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_url', 'lp_member_profile_links' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_author_url', 'lp_member_profile_links' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_author_url', 'lp_member_profile_links' );
function lp_member_profile_links( $url ) {
	if ( ! empty( $url ) ) {
		return $url . 'profile';
	}
	
	return $url;
}

Robin Wright! You are an underrated gem in the WordPress community! You have solved the 404 I had with bbpress and Elementor on the user profiles page for the last week! Thank you so much! This worked.
