Create a plugin. As a PHP beginner, the idea of developing a plugin can be daunting. But it really isn’t. I understand that you want to do this in the theme, but a plugin is more suited for it. Look at it this way. Themes are all about how you want your website to look. Plugins are all about what you want to display. Themes show you the results. Plugins bring the data.

Move your “My Profile” and “Edit Profile” code to the plugin.

To associate a url to a user_id you can either use the rewrite API or pass the data between pages with add_option, get_option, or cookies, or even an AJAX call.

I’m sorry I did not see your post when you posted it.

The answer to your question is: not yet. But hopefully soon. The ability to take a modified theme and create a child theme from it, such that the parent theme can be updated, is the direction that I’m headed.

LOL Emre. Such a short-sighted opinion you have.

I shouldn’t have to read the FAQ to discover the limitations of a product designed for a single platform. How would you like it, if you bought a new cool product that you saw at the store, and when you got home you discovered it wasn’t compatible with what you wanted to use it for? You’d be ticked too.

How hard would it have been for the developer to simply state in the product name, or product description that this product is only for Apache?

Just realized that YOU are the developer. Clearly you know nothing about communicating with your audience. I’ve been developing software for 35 years and your attitude is exactly why IT people get a bad rep. Learn to accept criticism graciously. You might learn something once in a while.
