BuddyPress.org

I’ve tried with this code but it doesn’t work either:

remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 50 );

I did that already. Still doesn’t work. I tried to place it in both the functions.php file and the bp-custom.php (located at wp-content/plugins) with no success.

Any other ideas @mercime?

It is not a bug at all. I use this code with BP 1.7 and WP 3.5.1 with various themes downloaded from wordpress.org and it works flawlessly. Either you have a theme, plugin, or custom code that is conflicting with the code. Please make sure you test it thoroughly as I have before stating it is a bug.

@praisehim
The answer is in my previous response. Most likely its a theme, plugin, or custom code you may have introduced. You may need to revert back to a twenty twelve theme or bp-default theme, and deactivate all plugins other than buddypress. If you created a file in wp-content/plugins named bp-custom.php you also need to make sure the code is between opening and closing php tags like so:

<?php
function remove_xprofile_links() {
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'remove_xprofile_links' );
?>

I suggest you ask the plugins author on their support forum why it conflicts with this function. Request that they add a class to the plugin. A lot of times that helps with conflicting functions. If that doesn’t work then simply don’t use the plugin. For now that is the best advise I can give you.

I ended up not using the plugin, however, I did make a post in their support forum asking them to resolve it. It seemed like the default profile fields sufficed for me anyway.

Thank you for your help!

For the sake of convenience I made a super light weight plugin wrapped in a class that may enable you to use the Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type plugin along with the plugin I made to get rid of the profile links. Give it a try and give some feedback if this resolves the conflict! Get the plugin here:
https://github.com/bphelp/bp-remove-profile-links

This code works 100% with latest BP

function remove_xprofile_links() {
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
}
add_action('bp_setup_globals', 'remove_xprofile_links');

Thanks @sharmavishal I confirm, it works like charm 😉
