Hello everyone. After a bit of research, I end here asking for the bests :sweat_smile: I’m creating a platform that contains social interaction. Users can view each other profiles and do a number of things like a message or follow. I have created a profile page that loads information based on the username which is also a SLUG or vice versa. Like this: https://appexample.bubbleapps.io/profile/username What I want is to eliminate the profile and the address to be simply with a username like: https://appexample.bubbleapp.io/username Is it possible? Thank you guys in advance Fabian

You can use the nocodemayo plugin to add routes using the api. You wont need to do it manually.

If you add the username parameter to the URL and then for page data you do a search for user and get the the username from the URL, you can populate all the user data on the page and then you’ll be able to have your URL as index.com/username

you can populate all the user data on the page and then you’ll be able to have your URL as index.com/username This is not possible…

Ah i see why that wouldn’t work.

I remembered, altho I would love for you to use my plugin haha, you can also abuse the 404 page. Bubble automatically loads the 404 page if you visit any non existing URL… You can use that page to display any user :wink:

If you want that page to return 404 to the browser. … and bots including Googlebot.

Because you don’t know what you’re talking about. Go read all about it: [image] Direct links for users? Database The answer to this question – that you cannot have yoururl.com/arbitrary_alias without messing up essential 404 behavior – is most decidedly conclusive (as of this writing, 02/25/2019). While you can do it, the pages that you seem to direct to are throwing 404 errors back to the agent viewing the pages. So such pages will never be indexed properly. However, you can have AWESOME /u/arbitrary_alias pages that DO NOT break Bubble’s built-in “send data” functionality, while still enabling a frien…

Thank you Keith. I read it. And I saw that you have found a solution: when the user types the wrong username, it redirects it or shows an alert. And the second one is when the user types the username in uppercase it transforms the URL into lowercase. I have problems adapting those in my workflow. The first one works fine except it shows the profile page as empty (not a blank page) and then it redirects. I would like to redirect it immediately because it is unprofessional to show the users a profile with no information and then redirect it. (I have the same problem with the login group, it stays a while, and then remember what to do) And the second one. It works half of it. Because I believe that you use a plugin that doesn’t exist anymore (I could find it on the plugin page). The plugin is Expression. The workflow copies the URL and pastes it again without removing the old one. And it doesn’t work when the SLUG is in uppercase. It sees it as the wrong username and redirects it. I hope you can help me. Thank you again. Fabian

Just navigate to the page using the go external page add/ and the path When you save your data identifier just save it in lowercase and use a plugin to slugify it The ultimate toolkit plugin has this action Then and bubble just pick up the path with get data from URL
