    Thanks for your help guys but I found the solution 🙂

    Just incase anyone may need it in the future:

    Note: Before copy pasting, don’t forget to change somePrefix with any other prefix to avoid conflict with any other shortcodes.

    Step 1: Make sure you have this filter in functions.php (If not, copy paste it there)

    add_filter(‘wp_nav_menu_items’, ‘do_shortcode’);

    Step 2: Use this snippet to return Author URL. Paste this in functions.php

    add_shortcode( ‘somePrefix_author_url’, function() {

    $author_link = get_author_posts_url( get_current_user_id() ); // original link
    $without_protocol = trim( str_replace( array( ‘http://’, ‘https://’ ), ”, $author_link ), ‘/’ );
    return $without_protocol; // returns author link without protocol

    });

    Step 3: Go to Navigation Menu and add Custom Menu Link and use [somePrefix_author_url] in the URL field and ‘My personal page’ or something in the Name field.

    Step 4: Test the link from the front-end if it works.

    For clarification, I am trying to find a URL that I can use as a custom link in the menu, to link each logged-in user to their author page.

    Hi Brajesh

    Could you recommend a follow user plugin that could achieve the same result?

    Thanks

    Hmm I am having difficulties with this.

    It is showing the button on the single post, however, nothing happens when the button is clicked.

    However, I am trying to put a follow button at the top of the author archive page. How could I do this? Is there a plugin with a button that makes this easy?

    Thanks, your help is greatly appreciated.

    Daniel

    Hi Brajesh

    Currently, I just use BuddyBoss ‘follow’ on a user’s profile. I don’t have a plunging for this.

    Regards
    Daniel
