Just to clarify further…
I can directly go to “my” profile from anywhere on my website by using the following URL:
https://wattlesfarm.com/member-portal/members/hendrik/profile/
Is it possible to change my username “hendrik” to the generic field “username” so that all users are automatically directed to their specific profile when using the following link:
https://wattlesfarm.com/member-portal/members/username/profile/
I hope this makes sense…

Hello Rik,
Thank you for posting. Have you looked at the following plugins:
For login redirect

RaviHi Rik,
As @michaelm has suggested, BuddyPress has a special meaning for slug ‘me’ if used with directory url. If a user is logged in, It points to them.Example:- your site has a directory at http://example.com/members/
Then the http://example.com/members/me/ will point to the logged user home page and http://example.com/members/me/profile to their profile.
Regards
BrajeshThank you both!
I changed the link to /members/me/profile/
When I’m logged-in it does indeed bring me to my profile.
However, when I login as a different user, the me-link still brings up the hendrik-profile instead of the new user’s profile!
Looks like “me” is still associated with “hendrik” and not the logged-in user’s individual profile.
Any suggestions why and how to solve that?
Please use the complete url with http://yoursite.com/members/me/profile.
Regards
BrajeshHi Brajesh,
I did use the comlete url:
https://staging23.wattlesfarm.com/members/me/profile/
This brings up my admin profile (username: hendrik):
https://staging23.wattlesfarm.com/members/hendrik/profile/
However, if I login as another user using the */me/profile/ link it will still bring up my admin profile and not the profile of the user I’m logging in as. So the hendrik-profile seems to be persistent.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Best
Rik
Hi Rik,
That would be very strange. I assume there is something causing it on your setup as this is not the expected behaviour.I will suggest disabling custom code/plugins and recheck.
