Hi,
In EasySocial edit user profile, there is a "Profile Permalink" field. I am wondering how does this work? E.g., suppose this field has the value "username1", then what would be the effective URL to access the user profile?

I've tried http://www.website.com/username1/ , http://www.website.com/community/username1/ ...both of these did not work. Could you tell me the right URL? Or, are there additional configurations to do to enable this functionality?

Thank you!
Hi there,

Those URL is like this http://www.website.com/community/821-abc as it required to included that particular users id in the url. If you wanted to remove those users id, you can use this plugin https://stackideas.com/apps/item/3338-url-shortener

Please advice.

Hi there,

There are setting for users permalinks currently as you can see here http://take.ms/RHp9R. By the way, i believe it is error because you need to included user's id on your permalink.

Please advice.

Hi Abdul,

Yes I understand. Suppose the username = userid = "abc". Then my question is what would be the permalink URL look like? Is it http://www.website.com/abc/ ? Or, http://www.website.com/community/abc/ ? Or something else? I've tried the two examples above but it does not work, I want to confirm whether they are supposed to work and there is an error somewhere else, or did I simply use the incorrect URL?

Thanks!

Ah I see, sorry I misunderstood it. Thanks, got it. I also just figured out that the folder label /community/ is set by the ES menu item name, and if the user set a custom permalink on the profile, it will work automatically. I think this could work for me for now. Thank you again!
