Standard way for user to access their Profile?

[TroyWolf]

I see the default /membership-profile page. Obviously I can create any pages, widgets, etc. I want and direct logged in users to that page, BUT….I guess I expected my users to be able to click their name in the sidebar to get to their Profile page.

I’m showing the login form, and thus the logged in user in my sidebar. I am a PHP programmer, so I can go in and make the member’s name a link to /membership-profile, but is there an official way to do this already?

Thanks!

Hi, can you further explain the following question.

I want and direct logged in users to that page, BUT….I guess I expected my users to be able to click their name in the sidebar to get to their Profile page.

Thank you

Sorry — somehow that sentence got messed up. The way many sites do this is to show your username when logged in, and for your username to be a link to your account profile. e.g.

Logged in as troy

I edited loggedin.php to make it work this way. I also stripped out much of the other stuff so my logged in user has this in their sidebar:

Logged in as troy
Logout

Thanks!

So did you resolved your issue with your customization code above?

[TroyWolf]

Yes, I did. Of course a later SM plugin update might break my change, but I’ll know how to change it again if necessary.

Thanks for all your work and for your support here in the forums!

A little update — turns out I was right about SM update reverting my changes. After an SM plugin update, my changes to loggedin.php were gone. Very easy to fix, but just FYI for folks.
