Solution

  • for Admins and moderators name you can do this :

    for names in driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//div[contains(@id, 'member_')]/div[2]/descendant::h3[1]")
        print(names.text)
    

    for href :

    for hrefs in driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//div[contains(@id, 'member_')]/div[4]/descendant::a")
         print(hrefs.get_attribute('href'))
