Hi,
I am writing a short manual for our users.
Is it possible to give them direct URL’s to parts/tabs of their profile? For instance a direct link that points to their “profile>acount-settings” ?
Regards,
Erik
Hey Erik,
Sorry, but because the profile all works on one page I don’t think it’s possible to get the tabs or their individual option pages to have their own URL, and copying the link to these tabs or options of course will be user ID specific.
good news, bad news…
good news… actually, you can do this… its been a long supported feature though rarely used…
It would take the form of:
http://localhost/wordpress-dev/support-forum/profile/?tab=profile&menu=account-settings
just specify the tab and menu that you want…
bad news… just tested it and it seems to have gotten knocked at some point… so not working right now for some reason… will open a ticket to get it fixed up…
Thank you both!
I hope this will be fixed soon. It would be much easier for me to point users to account settings, subscriptions etc. using a direct link in my user manual..
Regards,
Erik
doh! It does work now… I forgot one thing about the proper url… so its of the form:
http://localhost/wordpress-dev/support-forum/profile/?ptab=profile&pmenu=account-settings
and works like a champ!
