Landing Page… how to confiure

[Kramer]

Hello,

I am pretty new to buddypress and just purchased the Boss theme yesterday. I am trying to make it so that after login, instead of being directed toward the activity feed or the blog – we’d simply show the user’s profile.

What I have tried to do is save a file call bp-custom.php under the plugins folder and in there I put the following code

<?php
/**
 * Change BuddyPress default Members landing tab.
 */
define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );
?>

This doesn’t appear to work for me as I still saw the activity feed. I then simply disabled the activity feed and now it shows my blog posts. I removed the static front page etc. I guess I don’t know how to simply make the landing page the profile of the current user. Any help would be great.

That didn’t work for me for some reason and I should have mentioned I already tried that. I also tried BP Login Redirect. I wonder if something in the theme file is overriding it? I have a really fresh install and deactivated everything. As of now I literally only have buddypress, the boss theme, and BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types plugin active.

I deactivated “profile as home” and “login redirect” since they didn’t work and since your post tried it one more time, but no louck. For some reason it is showing my the blog when I login… hoping it isn’t something stupid. In the customizer, it is all blank. I have tried other setups too… but its going to my blog i guess right now despite nothing I see as pointing to it.

@chiefgeek Welcome to the BuddyBoss community! If you disabled login redirect there is nothing else that would conflict with a redirect plugin. You may want to check the redirect plugin support page to see if other users are experiencing the same issues.

I think I just had to point to a new blank page I created called home page under customizer… seemed to do the trick. Not sure why…

Either way glad this is resolved 🙂

Thanks, is there a way to mark as resolved?

No way to mark as resolved 🙁 I close them out manually.
