BuddyMenu BuddyLinks

BuddyPress BuddyLinks does three things really well:

1. BuddydMenu BuddyPress menu widget.
2. BuddyMenu BuddyPress menu shortcode.
3. BuddyLinks BuddyPress dynamic link shortcode.

Put a BuddyPress menu or dynamic user link in your sidebar, post, page, widget, footer or anywhere else. Needs BuddyPress to work. There is no need to network activate in WP Multisite. Does not display to logged out users.

BuddyPress menus are dynamic. Their URLs change for each logged in user. This makes it difficult for most community admins and webmasters to add links to areas in their BuddyPress sites. Unless you know how, you can’t create a welcome page and send new users to their profile page with a link in the welcome page because the link will be different for each user.

For example, a link to a user’s own activity stream would look like http://example.com/members/[USERNAME]/activity/.

The [USERNAME] bit of the URL is added dynamically by BuddyPress. This means you need to use pictures, videos, diagrams and lots of text to send people to different locations within a BP site or you can use the widget and shortcodes this BuddyMenu BuddyLinks provides.

See ‘Other Notes’ section usage guide.
