User Profile Page Shortcode grayed out

    I’m trying to allow each user to have their own profile page. When I go to create a new page and click to enter a shortcode, the “User Profile Page” option is grayed out. How can I have a page that has a list of users where clicking one redirects to each user’s own page?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Jared,

    I’m not quite sure why it would be greyed out. Perhaps a conflict with another or the theme? Either way, if you can’t add it via the helper, you can just type in the shortcode instead (e.g. [user-profile]).

    To get a list, though, you’d want to use the user-list shortcode. And to have it link to the profile page, you’d want to make sure to use the user_profile_page attribute. For example:

    [user-list user_profile_page="http://something.com/page/"]

    I disabled themebuddy just to make sure that wasn’t causing any problems. [user-profile] is not being rendered and just appears as the tag.

    If it’s just showing the actual shortcode text, and not rendering it, that means there’s an error with the shortcode. Instead of using the helper, try just typing in [user-profile] on your page. Does it render? (It’s important to note that the shortcode by itself won’t display much content, but will just create the template to display content when it’s loaded for a specific user.)
