Themed profile blank page?

    Looking for a better understanding of the themed profiles option.

    1) It seems that when enabled it changes the default profile url from /wp-admin/profile.php to /your-profile instead. Ok, I can work with this but curious if this can be changed to something like just /profile and ditch the word “your”

    2) It appears it automatically creates a “your-profile” page with no shortcode so I assume there is supposed to be some sort of loop override for that permalink that would display the user meta and pull in the proper template? Should I not have a blank /your-profile page? How should I troubleshoot this problem?

    3) The documentation describes “The profile will use the login page with an action of ‘profile’.” What does this mean because /your-profile is not my login page.

    4) Can I fix my problem by using a shortcode in the /your-profile page and what sc should I use specifically?

    I figured it out. By adding the shortcode the slug of ‘your-profile’ must be recognized however if editing in a page editor or front end customizer it defaults to the login form.

    I found a way around this by trying one at a time until it worked.

    
[theme-my-login default_action="user"]

    – nope, didn’t work

    [theme-my-login default_action="user_profile"] – nope, didn’t work

    [theme-my-login default_action="profile"] – yep, this worked!

    FYI, taking another look I still couldn’t find this in the documentation anywhere and probably worth a mention in the FAQs if you wouldn’t mind. I opened another topic seeking documentation. Maybe redirect the docs sub-domain to Git and just add it to the info. Then we can all help out via pull request. =)

    The default_action attribute shouldn’t be needed as the profile page has the hidden _tml_action meta value set for it. You can change the URL for the page just as you would for any other page. ??

    My issue was specifically related to using it along with a tool such as the Elementor Page builder where I can apply style attributes to my desire with a real-time experience. Forcing to a specific type was the perfect recipe to allow me to do this, thanks!
