I'd like to disable profiles viewing for privacy purposes. Or at least hide usernames in the URL? Can I prevent linking of usernames in the front end perhaps?
Hello Chriss,
I'm sorry but it is not possible. If you want to disable the link to the profile page on the frontend, you will need to modify multiple files and it is a bit tedious to do so.
You can find the getPermalink() in this file /administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/user/user.php. This function responsible to return user profile link. Hope this helps.
