Connecting question author to buddypress profile (not a question)

great discovery Mike cheers !!!

Cheers Mikey!

I just found an issue. The author name on the main question page does not go to the Buddypress profile. Still gives the 404 when trying to access the ‘Author’ page.

Would be good if we could find a way to change that.

paste in functions.php y listo!! 😀 problema solucionado

if(is_author()){
$user_id = get_query_var( ‘author’ );
wp_redirect( bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id). “/profile/” );
}

if(is_author()){
$user_id = get_query_var( ‘author’ );
wp_redirect( bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id). “/profile/” );
}

Has any one tried this solution?

Not yet but will give it a go later and let you know

yeah, didn’t really work for me, so need to know if its working for others.

Did you only add the above code or did you change something?

just added the code above and didn’t touch any thing else

Sorry i can not speak english 🙁
use step 4
http://cmspioneer.com/designwall/guide/dw-question-answer-plugin/

add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘dw_simplex_redirect_author_archive_to_profile’ );
function dw_simplex_redirect_author_archive_to_profile() {
if(is_author()){
$user_id = get_query_var( ‘author’ );
wp_redirect( bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id ) );
}
}
change code line 5 :

add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘newcporg_redirect_author_archive_to_profile’ );
function newcporg_redirect_author_archive_to_profile() {
if(is_author()){
$user_id = get_query_var( ‘author’ );
wp_redirect( bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id). “/profile/” );
}
}

I am assuming that ‘newcporg’ in the code is your template name keddin?

yes is my theme
change line 5
