They can be slow sometimes, but I’ve always received help from support when I reach out. It seems like they stopped, but for a while they were doing webinars pretty regularly. There’s also a community group on facebook to connect and get help from other AppPresser members, are you a part of it yet?

The good people at Apppresser recently made an article on how to do this, and it’s much easier than initially thought. For anyone else encountering this issue, you simply place “me” as an arbitrary placeholder for your users. Read the full article here:

Update: I just found this code from the creators on github and I’d imagine it will work, but I’m not sure where to add it:

<?php
// Add BuddyPress profile to sidebar. Should check if appwoo is active, or double profiles will show.
// Author: Scott Bolinger https://apppresser.com
add_action( 'appp_left_panel_before', 'ion_bp_profile', 99 );
function ion_bp_profile() {
	if( !is_user_logged_in() )
		return;
	$user         = wp_get_current_user();
	$display_name = isset( $user->display_name ) ? $user->display_name : '';
	$user_email   = isset( $user->user_email ) ? $user->user_email : '';
	$user_first   = isset( $user->user_firstname ) ? $user->user_firstname : '';
	$user_last    = isset( $user->user_lastname ) ? $user->user_lastname : '';
	$profile_link = bp_loggedin_user_domain( '/' );
	echo '<div class="item menu-profile">';
	if ( $user_email ) {
		echo '<a class="ajaxify" href="' . $profile_link . '">' . get_avatar( $user_email, 50 ) . '</a>';
	}
	if ( $user_first || $user_last ) {
		$name = $user_last;
		$name = $user_first ? $user_first .' '. $name : $name;
		echo '<h2 class="item-title"><a class="ajaxify" href="' . $profile_link . '">'. $name .'</a></h2>';
	} elseif ( $display_name ) {
		echo '<h2 class="item-title"><a class="ajaxify" href="' . $profile_link . '">@'. $display_name .'</a></h2>';
	}
	echo '<p>Welcome back!</p></div>';
}

Do you mind sharing what you did? I followed the steps listed and I’m still having trouble. My BP pages are blank when Polylang is activated.

This issue has been resolved. I had to toy around with the language URL settings on my dashboard, thank you for your help.

Some additional information, the hyperlinks are pointed to categories within the website. The links are saved and work (within the WP dashboard) like so. The language is in bold:

https://website.com/SAMPLELANGUAGE/category/...

When I go to the website as a visitor and try the link, it converts to:

https://website.com/category/.../?lang=SAMPLELANGUAGE

Thank you for replying. I’m not fully sure, because I’m new to this. The links definitely display the correct URL when I over them and I’m successfully directed if I click them– but only in the dashboard.

When I leave the dashboard and access the website as a user the URLs all add:

/?lang=ex

I haven’t added that extension to the URL, it’s doing it automatically, so I can’t remove it when I go back into the dashboard to edit. I can’t add the extension either, wordpress treats it as a string and removes the special characters when I try… although, that may be an error in syntax on my part.
