I would like to display the profile in a different page but I don't manage to do this. I've read the help, it says : "You can also elect to link to a different, custom page altogether. If you do this then you must provide both the URL and the name of a query variable to send the users ID in" .  I haven't understand what "name of a query variable to send the users ID" means.

It is a basic url construct. Whenever you see a ? in a url followed by a key and value (i.e., in the form of ?key=value) then the 'key' is a query variable.

In this instance you need to provide a url to a page that accepts the members ID using GET but you need to name the query variable you wish us to populate.

Let's start with the obvious question. Do you HAVE a page in mind? And if so is the necessary php written ready to display the information you want it to display? There is no point in making an http request to a page of there is no such page to display.

I am a speaker of a foreign language.. maybe I have not understood what you are trying to explain me..

My web site is : http://www.mysitoweb.com (for example). In wordpress I create a new page : http://www.mysitoweb.com/userprofile.  I add this address in URL FOR OTHER PAGE. Is it correct??? If it is correct, what do I have to add in " Query String Variable Name"????. Thanks a lot!!

I think you have misunderstood...  that option is NOT for the simple press profile to show on another page, but for us to instead redirect to another profile page that is from a different plugin you might be using...  some folks use wp plugins for extended or enhanced profiles...  instead of showing the sp profile, they want to show that profile...  that option allows us to redirect to the other plugin profile page...  so the page would already have to exist... the query arg just lets us tell the other plugin which user profile is to be shown...
