I can't use your "Use Website URL as Profile URL" feature. It only shows the author's article detail page. I have updated the link in the profile page. I have tried the 2 supported code snippets in the 2 articles:

https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/codex/filters/wpdiscuz_profile_url/

and https://wpdiscuz.com/community/troubleshooting/profile-url-not-working-for-all-users/#post-5592

It still can't work.

Please help me

Hi tienthangtn,

The option "Use Website URL as Profile URL" works only if you fill the URL in the "Website" field.

In case you want to say thank you! 🙂
We'd really appreciate if you leave a good review on the plugin page.
This is the best way to say thank you to this project and the support team.

@tienthangtn,

I understand our question. I've just explained how the option works. Everything is correct with the option. It works fine. As I've already mentioned, this option works only from the frontend. I.e, if user fill the URL on the Website field.

It doesn't have any relation to the dashboard user's website sections. Those are being saved on different Database tables. That's why it doesn't work in your case.

I'm going to ask developers if there is any solution we can help you. I'll update this topic once I've received any news for you.

In case you want to say thank you! 🙂

@tienthangtn,

You can use the following hook code:

add_filter("wpdiscuz_profile_url", function ($profile_url, $user) {
    if (!empty($user->ID)) {
        if (in_array('administrator', $user->roles)) {
            $profile_url = get_home_url();
      }
   }
    return $profile_url;
}, 999, 2);

Put it in the active theme functions.php file.

In case you want to say thank you! 🙂

Hello,

I know this post is a bit older, but I've encountered the same problem and can't solve it with the above code either.

I would like the link to lead to the user's homepage as it is entered in the user administration. The code above sends me to the author's page.

It would be great if someone could give me a hand.

Thanks and best regards

If anyone is still looking ... I think I've found a solution. At least it works on my website.

add_filter("wpdiscuz_profile_url", function ($profile_url, $user) {
if (!empty($user->ID)) {
$profile_url = get_the_author_meta("user_url", $user->ID);
}
return $profile_url;
}, 999, 2);
