To add a tab to the profile page that links to another site, register the tab and then change its URL with two filters.

This example adds a "Google" tab that sends users to Google:

```
<?php

function my_wpum_add_profile_tab_link( $tabs ) {
	$tabs['google'] = [
		'name'     => esc_html( 'Google' ), // the name shown on the tab
		'priority' => 2,
	];

	return $tabs;
}

add_filter( 'wpum_get_registered_profile_tabs', 'my_wpum_add_profile_tab_link' );

function my_wpum_get_profile_tab_url( $url, $tab ) {
	if ( 'google' === $tab ) {
		return 'https://www.google.com'; // where the tab links to
	}

	return $url;
}

add_filter( 'wpum_get_profile_tab_url', 'my_wpum_get_profile_tab_url', 10, 2 );
```

Change the tab key (**'google'**, used in both functions), the tab name and the URL to suit your site. **'priority'** sets the tab's position among the profile tabs.
