Any more information would be great. * [Gabriel Berzescu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabrielberzescu/) * (@gabrielberzescu) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-using-front-end/#post-12522794) * Hello [@alexpwdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexpwdev/) * You may add this to your theme’s style.css * Best regards, Gabriel * Thread Starter [alexpwdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexpwdev/) * (@alexpwdev) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-using-front-end/#post-12536613) * I don’t think I am being understood. * I do NOT want to use the profile builder for ADMINISTRATORS because it’s limiting what we can do to change users. * We want the my profile builder JUST to be used on the front end. * If we want to edit a users profile this needs to be done via the wordpress dashboard this is because we have to assign courses via learndash. * When we click edit profile it takes us to the FRONT end are of my profile. * This is holding us up on going live so would really appreciate your quick response! * [Gabriel Berzescu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabrielberzescu/) * (@gabrielberzescu) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-using-front-end/#post-12536697) * Hello [@alexpwdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexpwdev/) * So do you mean that when you go to [https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/users.php](https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/users.php) and click on the Edit link under the username, it takes you to our front-end edit profile page? * I have never heard of this before. * On my test rig, if I go to /wp-admin/users.php and click on the Edit link, it stays on the back-end, it goes to the back-end wp edit user screen. * This is what you are talking about, right? * I’m still not sure I understand you properly, because you mention clicking on** edit profile**, but here for me it just says **Edit**. * Also, I would like to add that according to netiquette all-caps amounts to yelling, and yelling is generally considered to be impolite. * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_caps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_caps) * Regards, Gabriel * Thread Starter [alexpwdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexpwdev/) * (@alexpwdev) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-using-front-end/#post-12536876) * My deepest apologies it was not meant to be impolite, just to emphasise those key functions… sorry I should have used underline or bold. Not yelling! You’ve been a great help and very speed so far. * Here is a video of what I mean… and what I need to happen (on another page ** not** using profile builder) * [https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/users.php](https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/users.php)– us working fine and we can see all the users but it’s when you click **edit user** that it takes you to the front end. * This video here… shows what is happening. [https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/users.php](https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/users.php) * Again thank you for your superb quick support, I’ll be sure to leave a great review! * [Gabriel Berzescu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabrielberzescu/) * (@gabrielberzescu) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-using-front-end/#post-12539265) * Hello [@alexpwdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexpwdev/) * It is great to know that the intention was not that of impoliteness, and thank you for the appreciation. * Unfortunately instead of the link to the video you have the [https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/users.php](https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/users.php) link twice. * From your description, I think that I understand — but the video would still help to make things crystal clear. * This is a very strange thing to be happening, my best guess is that you have some custom functionality somewhere either in a plugin or in the theme that is causing this. Did you build the site or somebody else? Please ask the person in cause. * I don’t even know how it would know on which page you have the front-end edit profile form — that has to be written somewhere, it can’t know it out of the blue. * If you briefly disable PB, does this fix the problem? * I am still waiting for the video. * Best regards, Gabriel * Thread Starter [alexpwdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexpwdev/) * (@alexpwdev) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-using-front-end/#post-12539998) * Hi there, * Thanks for your response and understanding. * Here is the video – [https://www.loom.com/share/c3635902ac0948b68c43985cff45edd4](https://www.loom.com/share/c3635902ac0948b68c43985cff45edd4) * I am also the developer on the site too – never used PB before so thus why I’m coming to you on this as I don’t understand why it is appearing like this. * Thanks, * Alex * [Gabriel Berzescu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabrielberzescu/) * (@gabrielberzescu) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-using-front-end/#post-12540446) * Hi Alex, * Thank you, I see. * It is exactly as you described it, and as I imagined it. * The big question here is how does it know the location of your [wppb-edit-profile] page? * In order to narrow things down, the next recommended step is the conflict test: * ​​*Briefly* disable all other plugins and enable the default Twenty Twenty theme. Please also disable all add-ons. If this fixes the problem, as it probably will, enable everything one by one, checking each time to see when the problem returns. * Please let us know when you find the conflict so that we can take a look and see what we can do about it. * Best regards, Gabriel Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘Admin using front end’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/profile-builder/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2961144) * [User Profile Builder - Beautiful User Registration Forms, User Profiles & User Role Editor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/profile-builder/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/profile-builder/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/profile-builder/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/profile-builder/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/profile-builder/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/profile-builder/reviews/) * 9 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Gabriel Berzescu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabrielberzescu/) * Last activity: [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-using-front-end/#post-12540446) * Status: resolved
