Okay, so I finally figured it out!

For those encountering the same issue (including OP if he hasn’t solved it yet), here’s the trick:

– I inspected the code carefully, and noticed there was a title attribute which was messing everything up. There was HTML code (actually the code from UM that allows the profile picture to display) inside the title tag, and it was unintentionally closing the menu “a” tag, causing the href attribute and everything after it to display on screen.

– I tried to remove the closing characters “/>” in the plugin’s code, and although it worked, it was not perfect (it was adding unnecessary spaces, as the rendered image tag was not closed, if that makes sense).

– Finally, I came up with the solution: to give the menu link a custom title. In the menu section in the WordPress Dashboard, where you add the menu items, you have to enable the title field by checking it in Screen Options > Show advanced menu properties > Title Attribute. Then, you write your title (in my case, I used “{first_name} {last_name} photo”, so the image title matched the user’s full name) and the problem is solved.

After some weeks without success, I found this workaround. However, it would be nice if the plugin (which is awesome, by the way) prevented this issue beforehand, or at least mentioned it in the documentation.
