@cdb3212 As far as I understood your problem, there are two articles that would save your life if you had a chance of looking in the Codex. These are:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/displaying-extended-profile-fields-on-member-profiles/
bp_profile_field_data()
Take a look at those and try it out. =)
@espellcaste
Thank you for your help. I tried following that guide, but with no success. The changes I am making in my member-header file in my child theme are not being reflected on my site. I even went as far as deleting everything in the file and typing “abc” just to see what happens. Nothing changed.
I was careful in copying the directory over in my child theme, but it just doesn’t seem to be overriding the default file.
I needed to copy the bp-legacy directory, not the bp-default directory, correct?
@barney92
I added that code to my bp-custom file, no results. Which file do I add that code to?
I appreciate your help.
@cdb3212 As embarrassing as this might sound, I don’t know how Child Themes works exactly, but it seems there is a problem where you are putting it.
Try using @barney92 suggestion, putting it in your functions.php file within your theme and see the result.

@espellcaste
I believe the OP wants the code in member-header, not in members directory.
So pointing them to awkward code that isn’t relevant is not very helpful.
The OP’s issue is with their template over-ride for member-header.php
@cdb3212 –
paste the path to your over-ride so we can see if it’s in the right place.
Use https://gist.github.com/ to show us the current contents of that over-ride
Arguments aside.
I actually need the same thing would like to show Users full name above his @username and show State field and About/ bio field
Have been reading the buddypress documentation with no luck and searching forums.
@shanebp : public_html/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen-child/single
and then the member-header.php is included in the “single” folder.
Here are the contents
@barney92 , @shanebp is just trying to help, man. He didn’t call you out in particular. Can’t we all be friends?
@Barney
Thanks for pointing me to that.
I’m still struggling though PHP aint my thing 🙁
So the primary field “Name” and my other fields are called “State: and “Organization” and “Website” these are the field names I insert ?
Heres where i put it..But doesnt show full member-header
` </div><!– #item-buttons –>
<?php
/***
* If you’d like to show specific profile fields here use:
* bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=About Me’ ); — Pass the name of the field
*/
do_action( ‘bp_profile_header_meta’ ); // Here is one way you could add xprofile fields name as well as the value to the members directory!
// Just remember to replace “Field-Name” with the names of your fields in the 5 variables in my code.
// Also remember the field name is case sensitive. If you notice the pattern of 5 in my code you can
// easily see how to add more fields if you need them. You can also use the div class bph_xprofile_fields
// to adjust the CSS in your stylesheet. Place this code in bp-custom.php:
add_action(‘bp_directory_members_item’, ‘bphelp_dpioml’);
function bphelp_dpioml(){
$bphelp_my_profile_field_1=’Name’;
$bphelp_my_profile_field_2=’State’;
$bphelp_my_profile_field_3=’Organisation’;
$bphelp_my_profile_field_4=’Website’;
$bphelp_my_profile_field_5=’About-you’;
if( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_members_component() ) { ?>
<div class=”bph_xprofile_fields” style=” margin-left: 25%;”>
<?php echo $bphelp_my_profile_field_1 ?>: <?php echo bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=’.$bphelp_my_profile_field_1 ); ?><br />
<?php echo $bphelp_my_profile_field_2 ?>: <?php echo bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=’.$bphelp_my_profile_field_2 ); ?><br />
<?php echo $bphelp_my_profile_field_3 ?>: <?php echo bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=’.$bphelp_my_profile_field_3 ); ?><br />
<?php echo $bphelp_my_profile_field_4 ?>: <?php echo bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=’.$bphelp_my_profile_field_4 ); ?><br />
<?php echo $bphelp_my_profile_field_5 ?>: <?php echo bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=’.$bphelp_my_profile_field_5 ); ?><br />
</div><?php
}
}
?>’
Ok
After allot more research I found a solution. looks like I was putting your code in the wrong spot sure it would have worked as well @Barney
I used this code
<?php
$state = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=State' ) ;
echo '<p class="profile-fields">State: ' .$state. '</p>';
?>
This displays my custom field state that i added via users > profile feeds in backend of wordpress
I put this code under
<span class="activity"><?php bp_last_activity( bp_displayed_user_id() ); ?></span>
this is all in the members_header.php in the bp_legacy section
@barney92 A final warning: Please do not resort to insulting forum members, it’s not to be tolerated.
@barney92 Not really the best way of responding nor is having a ‘lousy week’ an excuse I’m afraid, lets just back off the forum until we are having a better week is generally the best approach.
