Custom User Link for Profile Page Not Working

    Thanks for the great plugin. Enjoying getting to know it.

    I am trying to send people to a customized link for their profile page. It worked just super on the first role I tried it with.

    Then I slept.

    And now when I try this with another role, the profile page is showing the login form in the content area. It is sending me to the right URL that I put in User Links. Just not showing the right content.

    On the page that I have the custom profile link going to, I have inserted the [theme-my-login] shortcode.

    Suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Doug

    The shortcode, by default, displays the Login form.

    So then I take the short code off of that page? Or is there a different short code that will display the profile form?

    The thing that is confusing me is that the same setup is working for a different role’s login. On that one…

    Here are screenshots of the one that is working…

    I made the URL on the front end screenshots show up so you could compare them to their back end pages. Also, I included shots of the user links and redirection settings.

    Thanks,

    Are both profile pages not the same?

    I’m trying to give different header, sidebar and widget content on the layout for different profiles.

    I would just implement some code to serve up a different template for each role:

    function tml_template_include( $template ) {
	if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
		$user = wp_get_current_user();
		$role = reset( $user->roles );

		$templates = array(
			"profile-$role.php",
			"profile.php"
		);

		$found = get_query_template( 'profile', $templates );
		if ( $found )
			return $found;
	}
	return $template;
}
add_filter( 'template_include', 'tml_template_include' );

    This code will first look for a template specific to the current user’s role (e.g. “profile-subscriber.php”). If that’s not found, it will try “profile.php”. If that’s not found, it reverts back to WP’s choice in template.
