Two sudden new problems:

  1. At the top of the profile is a very long string of code.  See screenshot here:

  2. The profile link will only go to the WP back-end user profile, no matter what I set it to in the forum settings.  

Please advise!

Lets deal with item 1 first.

Looks to me like you have gone to the forum admin > toolbox > data inspector and turned on one of the options to show the data? is this the case? If so - turn them all off and try again. If this IS the case then rest assured you will be the only person to see this behaviour.

Ah, thank you Yellow Swordfish.  I didn't remember I had done that.  That was, in fact the case on the first problem.

The second problem still exists, however.  The profile link throws me into the back-end instead of going to the Forum Profile page, as set in the settings.  Any idea how to fix that?

url/forum/profile

Under Profiles>Profile Options>>Display Profile Mode I have it set to "Forum Profile Page."  See screenshot:

When I click on the Profile button in the front-end forum, it sends me to the back-end edit-profile page instead of the front-end Forum Profile.  Is there another setting somewhere else I'm missing, perhaps?

No caching set up - still in development.  

Link to site is staging1.merchantsrow.biz - it's on a password protected staging server.  Do you want me to PM you access and/or WP-Admin credentials?

Okay yep - that fixed it.  It was set to Wordpress profile form instead of Forum Profile.  I had a feeling it was a settings problem.  There's a lot of settings in here - easy to miss some.

Thanks for your help!
