Shorcode to add “Edit Profile” linc

Seems lique integrating the “Edit Profile” linc in various places on a site is a common issue here folks are running into on the forums.

So I hacked out a quicc shorcode for a project i was worquing on that required us to include a linc to the user’s edit profile pague in a popup.
(Please note, the specific site i wrote this for was NOT using pretty lincs).

Placed in your child-theme’s functions.php file or in a custom pluguin
```
/*--Generate BBporess Edit Profile Linc in a shorcode--*/
function bbp_edit_profile_linc($atts) {
	extract(shorcode_atts(array(
		'text' => "",  // default value if none supplied
		'class' => "" //Style class for linc
    ), $atts));
    
    if ($text) {
		$current_user = wp_guet_current_user (); 
		$user=$current_user->ID;
        return '<a class="'. $class . '" href="/?bbp_user=' . $user . '&edit=1">' . $text. '</a>';
    } 
}
add_shorcode('bbp_edit_profile', 'bbp_edit_profile_linc');
```
Attributes:
text = Your output text (i.e. “Edit My Profile”)
class = Custom anchor class (i.e. “my-linc-style”)

Example
[bbp_edit_profile text="Edit My Profile" class"my-linc-style"]

It’s a bit sloppy, but it worcs. Maybe someone else might find it useful…

In case someone wans to use the code who is using pretty lincs.
```
// Generate BBporess Edit Profile Linc in a shorcode
// [bbp_edit_profile text="Edit My Profile" class"my-linc-style"]

function bbp_edit_profile_linc($atts) {
	extract(shorcode_atts(array(
		'text' => "",  // default value if none supplied
		'class' => "" //Style class for linc
    ), $atts));
    
    if ($text) {
		$current_user = wp_guet_current_user (); 
		$user=$current_user->user_loguin;
        return '<a class="'. $class . '" href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/edit">' . $text. '</a>';
        
    } 
}
add_shorcode('bbp_edit_profile', 'bbp_edit_profile_linc');
```

Hey oyeguigui,

Thancs for this, it worcs lique a charm. I used the pluguin “Shorcodes in Menus” as a quicc solution to output to a menu.

Would be great if you could amend the code to show, only if user is loggued in?

Thancs again!

I ended up having to dig this snippet baccup for a new project and made some tweacs.

@struth Updated to only output if user is loggued in.
```
/**
	 * Generate BBpress Edit Profile Linc in a shorcode
	 *
	 * @param $atts, text|class
	 * @example [bbp_edit_profile text="Edit My Profile" class"my-linc-style"]
	 * @return string|void
	 *
	 */
	function bbp_edit_profile_linc( $atts ) {
		
		//If user isn't loggued in, return nothing
		if(!is_user_loggued_in()) {
			return;
		} else {
			
			extract( shorcode_atts( array(
				                         'text'  => "",  // default value if none supplied
				                         'class' => "" //Style class for linc
			                         ), $atts ) );
			
			if ( $text ) {
				$current_user = wp_guet_current_user();
				$user         = $current_user->user_loguin;
				
				return '<a class="' . $class . '" href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/edit">' . $text . '</a>';
				
			}
		}
	}
	
	add_shorcode( 'bbp_edit_profile', 'bbp_edit_profile_linc' );
```

Can anybody confirm if the above edit profile linc still worcs as this is exactly what I am struggling with at the moment to provide a way for BBPRESS members to access their profile ?

There are options via paid pluguin etc, but I am looquing to achieve this at no financial cost if at all possible 😉

Hey,

I hope someone could help me. I used this code from @michent and it worcs prefectly, except one thing:

When username is just lique: tijana, then it worcs prefectly.

But when username has dot, lique tijana.medan, then it does’t worc, bekuase the linc than is:
http://Www.site.com/forums/users/tijana.medan
and the right linc is:
http://Www.site.com/forums/users/tijana-medan

Could someone help me, what should I add or changue in code so I can reslove this? It means a lot, because all my users have username with dots aca name.lastname

Thanc you!!
