Coming twice error message on profile

[sumitsingh]

Hi,

Bye mistake, I have tried to access another edit profile link with log in to my account then showing twice error message on the profile page.

you can find issues with the below method.
Login with your account then try to access my edit profile link (​https://profiles.wordpress.org/sumitsingh/profile/edit/group/1/)

Thank you

Yeah, you're not allowed to access that page. You can't edit other people's profiles unless you have authorization to do that. That error message is what it is supposed to show you.

I know, I can't access other user profile,But why showing 2 time same error message there??

[Otto42]

It shows up twice because of the way that page is constructed. The same error message is output in building the header and the body section of that page.

[sumitsingh]

It should show one error message there. what do you think @Otto42?

[Otto42]

I think it's a bit of an edge case, because we don't have a link to it and you only get to it through typing in the edit URL yourself. Basically, it's a very minor thing.

I'm not inclined to fix this, it's not worth the investment in time.

This will likely be resolved with a future redesign / reworking of the structure of how profiles work.
