I've been trying to redirect users to the profile page when accessing profiles of users and self. Currently it's redirecting to activity page by default.

Eg: example/members/username

is showing the activity page as default.

I've tried setting the below line in wp-config.php as suggested in Buddypress forum. But doesn't seem to be working.

define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile');

Is there any workaround to implement this, instead of profile all the other links(friends, groups, notifications etc.) are working when setting in BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT.

• That definition works for me. Are you using a theme builder or youzer or some additional plugin re BuddyPress? If so, try deactivating them. – shanebp Commented Feb 14, 2022 at 22:14

Are you sure you've added the constant definition in the right place? As the BuddyPress codex says:

When adding the code to wp-config.php, place it after define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”); and before the authentication keys. If you add this line to the bottom of wp-config.php, it will not work.

This got resolved when I set the Activity Streams Page to - None - in Dashboard->Settings->Buddypress->Pages.

I'm not sure what this setting has to do with the default page. Can someone explain about it?
