Hi Justin.
Great plugin. We’re using it in a BuddyPress site and the plugin is perfect for large user-base communities with custom roles. I imagine other BuddyPress communities might find this helpful too.
In our install, in plugins/bp-custom.php we have:
define('BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES', true );
The links in the Help Notes Users widget includes the author/ prefix which works in cases without the above constant defined. Any chance you can add a check for this constant and trim the author/ prefix if true? This would also make the plugin even more BuddyPress compatible in the process – a win-win situation.
Cheers,
Vernon
