Issue resolved. I had to add a simple a href to a different .php file (with code different than shown here).

I posted in the author’s forums 2 weeks ago without a reply, so I posted here incase someone here could help.

Nevermind. Resolved this by making simple adjustments to the padding + margin of the two modules in question.

Update – since posting I’ve learned that I can do (cmd + a) to select all and it works (even though rightclick > select all doesn’t work). Will submit to the contact form about cmd + f now. Thank you!

Hi 🙂

The user profiles are generated via Ultimate Member plugin.

Currently the USP username url is linking to the standard WP author page, but it is the member’s profile that I need to link it to.

Linking to the user’s profile is working automatically with bbPress, as well as when users make comments on posts (did not need to make any modifications). For instance, if user A makes a comment on user B’s USP, I am able to click the commenter’s name and it takes me to users/commenterdisplayname – so I went to check the files to see how it’s working.

For comments, it looks like this code is what’s displaying the comment author username + linking to their profile:

<?php printf( __( '<cite class="fn">%s</cite>', 'profitmag' ), get_comment_author_link() ); ?>

(profitmag is the theme I’m using)

For bbPress, this line of code is getting the user link & displaying it on front-end in a particular area (single forum replies):

<php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_author_details' ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_rule' => true ) ); ?>

and in another area of bbPress (where it shows who a topic is started by) this is the code that gets the username + links to their profile:

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_started_by' ); ?>
<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><>php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) ) ); ?></span>

I am really bad with php as I haven’t had time to get into learning it deeply. I think I need to change some variables, create some new ID or something like that. Thinking I need to modify this section in template-tags.php

/*	For public-submitted posts, this tag displays the author's name as a link (if URL provided) or plain text (if URL not provided)
	For normal posts, this tag displays the author's name as a link to their author's post page
	Usage: <?php if (function_exists('usp_author_link')) usp_author_link(); ?>
*/
function usp_author_link() {
	global $post, $usp_post_meta_IsSubmission, $usp_post_meta_Submitter, $usp_post_meta_SubmitterUrl;

	$isSubmission     = get_post_meta($post->ID, $usp_post_meta_IsSubmission, true);
	$submissionAuthor = get_post_meta($post->ID, $usp_post_meta_Submitter, true);
	$submissionLink   = get_post_meta($post->ID, $usp_post_meta_SubmitterUrl, true);

	if ($isSubmission && !empty($submissionAuthor)) {
		if (empty($submissionLink)) {
			echo '<span class="usp-author-link">' . $submissionAuthor . '</span>';
		} else {
			echo '<span class="usp-author-link"><a href="' . $submissionLink . '">' . $submissionAuthor . '</a></span>';
		}
	} else {
		the_author_posts_link();
	}
}

I only use the built-in WP editor for CSS edits, which I backup externally in a .txt file (copy & paste style) since, as you mentioned, there’s no direct option to streamline backups. I make all PHP mods directly in the backend core files (with a child theme of course) but I should probably be more careful with that too 🙂 Great advice for staying on the safe side @sterndata.

Which part sounds like a bug? All I know is that I spend a ton of time scrolling up and down my Editor. I will check out the plugin and see if it works with the Stylesheet editor. Didn’t think to try a plugin for the search issue. Thanks!
