Get WordPress User Profile Url/Link by ID

5 comments

1. To get user’s profile link like xxxxxx.com/author/username/ use the following function:

   <?php get_author_posts_url( $author_id, $author_nicename ); ?>
   

   Here is the documentation.

2. If you want to edit a user from admin side then you can use this:

   function get_admin_edit_user_link( $user_id ){
   
       if ( get_current_user_id() == $user_id )
          $edit_link = get_edit_profile_url( $user_id );
       else
          $edit_link = add_query_arg( 'user_id', $user_id, self_admin_url( 'user-edit.php'));
   
       return $edit_link;
   }

3. User Page URL is working

   wp function => get_author_posts_url( int $author_id, string $author_nicename = ” )

   <?php echo get_author_posts_url($user_id); ?>
   
   output: https://example.com/author/username/

4. This function should help:
   https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_author_meta
   
the_author_meta( $field, $userID );


   for profile link you’ll need ‘user_url’ for the field

5. For getting user link with its nice name use 2 functions:

   • https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_author_posts_url/

   • https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_author_meta/

     get_author_posts_url($user_id, get_the_author_meta(‘user_nicename’, $user_id))
