url to link to a members public profile page

I think this is what you’re looking for https://example.com/?author=123

btw: properly naming your topic allows for people to know what this is before clicking on it. And it’ll allow people in the future to easily find this solution.

Darren. Thanks for your reply. I did the author option, but this only shows the comment from the author. I want to link directly to the public profile page for the specified user.

PS not sure what happened with naming my topic. I am sure I added a heading.

[mod: appropriate topic title added]

You’ll need to use a plugin like BuddyPress to create public profiles. Or make a theme file called author.php

Already have buddy press installed. Cant seem to find anything in the search results. I can get the username from the id. I also tried to use rewrite but still could not get it to work.

Do you want the user ID to be shown in the url?

Doesn’t really matter. Basically I will be providing tags to that will link back to a member profile. I need to have these tags made before I know what the member name will be. The User ID is sequential so I can have them pre-manufactured with the following: https://www.example.com/tag/1234

Then as the user register I can then give them the tag that matches the user ID. When they type in the url https://www.example.com/tag/1234

I need to do the following:

1) get the user ID
2) redirect to the member page by any means

Hope this clarifies what I am trying to achieve.

Thanks for your comments to date.
