Q&A User Profile Dispaly Issue

I have installed the Q&A plugin and have a few questions.

1. On http://www.retireinthecaribbean.com it displays well but the user profile page does not appear. In other words, the url shows /user/admin for example but the profile isn’t there, just some other page. It might be a conflict with the theme? (WPCasa).

2. I hope I am doing something wrong on this next issue…. Do all new users get sent to the WP backend profile when they register upon asking a question??? It does this on twentytwelve too. I mean, isn’t this plugin completely frontend for Q&A users? Does a WP black topbar really display when a visitor logs in? I must be doing something wrong I hope!

Thanks again!

Hello Thomas,

I hope you are well today and thanks for asking!

1) Can you please try to change the theme to any other and see how if it works?

2) Q&A uses default WordPress login system, so yes, you are not doing anything wrong. About WordPress toolbar at the top of the page, it’s a default WP feature, but can be turned off. Do you want to turn it off?

Kind Regards,

Domas

Thank you for responding so quickly.

1. The profile pages do display correctly on twentytwelve. On the WPCasa theme they do not display even though the url has the /user/whoever/ ending. If it is a theme conflict, any ideas how I can work around the issue?

2. a. Bringing users to the WP backend after registration will be too confusing to my users. I need to make this a front-end experience. How can I do this?

2. b. Depending on the response to 2(a), I would like to turn off the toolbar for users so please let me know how to do this. Just a display: none; ?

I have to say I am very surprised this Q&A plugin is not entirely front-end. It is so detrimental to the user experience to have to go backend to register.

Thanks for your help!

Hi @thomas

The profile pages do display correctly on twentytwelve. On the WPCasa theme they do not display even though the url has the /user/whoever/ ending. If it is a theme conflict, any ideas how I can work around the issue?

I am not sure about WPCasa theme as I don’t have that theme. Would you please consider to ask the theme developer about this issue, if that is possible?

2. a. Bringing users to the WP backend after registration will be too confusing to my users. I need to make this a front-end experience. How can I do this?

QA uses default WP registration process, so it takes you to backend registration page. Would you please try these plugins?

http://wordpress.org/plugins/profile-builder/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-frontend/

http://profileplugin.com/

2. b. Depending on the response to 2(a), I would like to turn off the toolbar for users so please let me know how to do this. Just a display: none; ?

Would you please add the following code?
```
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'remove_admin_bar');



function remove_admin_bar() {

if (!current_user_can('administrator') && !is_admin()) {

show_admin_bar(false);

}

}
```
You can add those codes in your functions.php in the theme, if you think your theme won’t be changed. Otherwise mu-plugins is the best solution. To use mu-plugins, go to /wp-content/ and find the folder with name ‘mu-plugins’. If there is no folder in that name, then create a folder, name it ‘mu-plugins’, create a file inside that, give any name you like and paste the code in there. You don’t need to activate that plugin. Mu-plugins means must use plugins, so it will be activated automatically always. If you use mu-plugins then add a php start tag at the beginning of the code.

Hope it helps :slight_smile: Please feel free to ask more question if you have.

Cheers

Ash
