Question

I have used Content Profile Module to make a content type of profile. I have then gone to my User management menu -> Permissions menu and given access to the “testuser” role to be able to create the new content type profile. Now when the user with the role logs on and clicks on “My profile” that has a path of sitename/user/username, he/she still goes back to the old profile and not the new content type I created. What am i doing wrong? All I want is users with “testuser” role to have a separate profile than the standard user. I sthis because my user has both roles of “standard user” and “testuser” ?

Yes. Drupal’s access system is permissive: if any of a user’s roles has a permission, the user will gain the permission as well.

It also sounds like you want to make the default tab for a user’s profile to be your new content profile; if that’s the case, check out this solution: Drupal – Set 'user/%/edit/uprofile' to default tab on 'user/%/edit'
