Hey guys.

I’ve tried searching about this but not really been able to find a definitive answer, especially for my own situation.

I currently have a live site, where users NEED to use WordPress default domain.com/author/username

Currently when you go to the profile of a poster in the bbPress forum it takes you to a different user page domain.com/user/username

I need this to direct to domain.com/author/username as the default WordPress profile contains information about the user (feedback ratings, post details + more – its a classified site).

Now I’m not 100% fussed on whether the domain.com/author/username page displays post details, as the ‘forum’ I’ve having is a single forum and more like a general chat area of the site. I’m not looking to setup a fully fledged forum.

However the most important thing is having their profiles direct to their author page instead of their bbPress user page.

If there is code I can place in the author.php file (WordPress one) that will check their bbPress details regarding their posts, that would be great. I’ve tried copying the code from bbPress user-profile.php but that didn’t work.

Can any one offer any assistance? I’d deeply appreciate it.

Thanks

bbPress: Version 2.5.8
WordPress: Version 4.4.2

Something like this in your functions.php ?

add_filter( 'bbp_pre_get_user_profile_url', 'casiepa_custom_author_link' );
function casiepa_custom_author_link( $user_id ) {
	return get_author_posts_url( $user_id, '' );
}

You sir are a legend, that worked perfectly.

Would it be hard to put the user details onto my author page?
(topics created, replies created then a list of each).

I can create tabs at the bottom like on my current author pages and put the code to show the information in there.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to help with that because you try to change the WordPress profile, and my knowledge is limited to bbPress profiles…

Hi Pascal,

Thanks, updating the wordpress profile is not a problem I can do that.

However using the code from bbPress profile such as:

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_user_profile' ); ?>

	<div id="bbp-user-profile" class="bbp-user-profile">
    <h1>View Users Trading Profile Here <?php get_the_author_id(); ?></h1>
   
		<h2 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Profile', 'bbpress' ); ?></h2>
		<div class="bbp-user-section">

			<?php if ( bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'description' ) ) : ?>

				<p class="bbp-user-description"><?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'description' ); ?></p>

			<?php endif; ?>

			<p class="bbp-user-forum-role"><?php  printf( __( 'Role: %s',      'bbpress' ), bbp_get_user_display_role()    ); ?></p>
			<p class="bbp-user-topic-count"><?php printf( __( 'Topics Started: %s',  'bbpress' ), bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw() ); ?></p>
			<p class="bbp-user-reply-count"><?php printf( __( 'Replies Created: %s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw() ); ?></p>
		</div>
	</div><!-- #bbp-author-topics-started -->

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_user_profile' ); ?>

added to my author.php doesn’t work.

I presume its because its not tied to the bbPress ‘user’ profile?

[@casiepa Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

Correct, you are not in the users environment. You will have to add the user_ID so the function knows what user you refer to.

bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw

[@dalemiles Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

I don’t suppose you can tell me what I need to do to get the user_id that links up with the author profile?

Thanks

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_id = $current_user->ID;
if ( 0 == $user_id ) {
    // Not logged in.
} else {
    // code from previous thread, use function like bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw($user_id)
}

Not tested ! But should be in that direction…
