# [Profile] Shortcode Not Working

 * I created a page and pasted the [Profile] shortcode, but it does not load the
   profile page. Any ideas?

 * It shows:
 * [Profile]
 * In other words, the shortcode isn’t converting to anything.

 * ok, I can’t say immediately what is happening – it works on my test site, and
   I’ve not had any reports of issues with this code.
 * I have several shortcodes in my plugin – as a test can you create another page
   and try one of the others, this will help us see if it is a general issue with
   my shortcodes for your site.

 * All the other shortcodes seem to work — just not the profile shortcode.

 * ok, not really sure what the issue is
 * It could be a theme or plugin issue
 *  Plugins
 *  Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one 
   at a time to see which is causing the error.
 *  Themes
 *  If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such
   as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
 *  Then come back

 * Just sussed it – I have coded it as [profile] but written instructions as [Profile]–
   with a capital P.
 * I’ll release version 3.9.1 shortly to allow both !

 * That’s great news! I can confirm this was the problem. Using [profile] the link
   appears as it should.
 * On a separate note, it would be good if we could change all parts of the breadcrumb—
   right now it’s only Home or Root or Current. It would be good to also be able
   to remove/edit the actual forum (in your image example it’s titled as ‘Main Forum’).

 * On the breadcrumb, this is actually quite hard, as there is no easy hook to the
   code to get rid of this, as that part can actually be a hierarchy – ie a forum
   and sub-forums.
 * I’ll take a look when I get a moment.
