BuddyPress.org

Has this changed at all since you last posted?
I had the same question and got here.
I am new to BuddyPress. It seems ridiculous that a site admin couldn’t alter profile details of a user on his site.
In my case, I want to pre-populate a site with an set of guaranteed users whose info I want to enter for them.
Surely, if BuddyPress was just a part of WordPress alongside it, all BuddyPress user profile info should be accessible and editable under WordPress user profile admin, not just the core WordPress fields?

Let’s say a member chooses to post something defamatory or obscene in her profile bio. An admin may be compelled to act.

More specifically, as a newbie contemplating BuddyPress for a project that would comprise several dozen known named member individuals, I am mulling over how I can pre-populate such a site (eg.) from a .csv list, when profile info seems separated across two locations.

*hangs head in shame* yes of cource admins can edit any profile – adminbar – always forget that and shouldn’t be

Yes point taken about perhaps having to edit profiles if text is of an unsavoury nature.

You should be able to manage the data from a csv list without too much trouble, I had to write a script recently to pull data from a custom table chase it into BP profiles while also dealing with WP first/last names wasn’t too difficult.

There is another really good use for having the admin be able to change user info. For example I’m creating a website for a closed business club. The admin would like to fill in all known details for all companies joining the club. There is no registration form, and it’s invite only. The admin would like to fill in all kinds of information while creating the members, like VAT, description of the company, company logo’s.

It’s the first time I’m working with buddypress, and I’m a bit amazed something as simple as this is still not possible while adding new members from the admin pages..?

Here’s what I need:

Client wants to enter member info themselves, then later on have users create WP account. Is this possible, to create profile first, without wp account, and then save?

So at that point, how does already-existing buddypress profile get associated with wp user?

If this isn’t possible, can a temporary username / password be generated?
