Accessing Profile Link Settings
To access these settings, navigate to your WordPress Dashboard, go to BuddyBoss > Settings > Member Profiles, click Profiles Name, then navigate to the Profile Links from the left panel.
Profile Link Format
The Link Format setting determines the structure of each member’s profile URL. Select your preferred option. The two available formats are:
Unique Identifier: Uses a system-generated ID for the profile URL (e.g., /members/12345).
Username: Generates a human-readable URL using the member’s username (e.g., /members/johnsmith). Recommended for better readability and SEO.
