Why does clicking on the user name (here and on my own forum using BP and bbPress) take me to the Edit Profile page instead of the View Profile page, and how do I change it?

WP Version 5.9
BP Version 9.2.0
bbPress Version 2.6.9
bbp style pack Version Version 4.9.1

on this site it takes you to a profile page with an edit option – if you see differently post an image please

Exactly. Using these forums as my examples, clicking on my user name (upper right corner of the screen) takes me to https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/maryreyes/edit/ . On my forums, I want it to take me to https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/maryreyes/ . It shouldn’t take me to the profile editing page unless I click on “Edit profile” or I choose the “Edit” option on the profile page itself. How do I change that behavior (on my forums)?

ok, that link in the top right is not native bbpress – might be BP or your theme?

[@maryreyes Participant 3 years ago]

Hmmm. . . Maybe BuddyPress, but there it’s even more screwed up. It goes to https://buddypress.org/wp-admin/profile.php , not anything to do with me. I’ll try over on the BuddyPress forum.

Hi! Is there a way for me to change my profile pic?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years ago]

bbpress (here and on your site) uses the gravatar system, so upload you pic to there

https://en.gravatar.com/

or for your site you can also use a wordpress upload plugin such as
