I want to let each member view their own profile but not see other members' profiles.

What I did to disable the link to members' profiles when they post a topic or reply was add this PHP snippet (add_filter( 'wpforo_member_link_clickable', '__return_false' );), which works. However, is there another way in the wpforo settings or usergroup permissions to do this?

Currently, I also have enabled for the registered usergroup "Front - Can view profiles" so that the member can see their own profile.

Thank you.

Hi @psych,

Please try to disable "Front - Can view profiles" permission. This should not stop profile owners to see their own profile page.

Thank you for the reply. I disabled the “Front - Can view profiles.” However, when I logged in as a user and clicked the “My Profile” link in the forum menu, I received the message that “You do not have permission to view this page.” I greatly appreciate any further help. Thank you.

@psych,

Ok, this should be asked wpForo developers to add a new permission or suggest some workaround. This is not related tot the addon, so you should open a new topic in wpForo Support forum: https://wpforo.com/community/
