def to_param
profile_name
end

Courses Plus Student 9,636 PointsThanks for answering Brandon, Tried that and still didn't work. Any other thing I might have missed ?

Courses Plus Student 9,636 PointsDo you mean in my users.yml file ?
Brandon Barrette
20,485 PointsNo. That file is for testing only. Go to your terminal, type rails console
Then type User.all
That will spit out all users. Make sure your user with that profile name is there.
