Create edit profile form or page

    I want to ask new users to complete a few required extended profile fields on the first time they login to my website.

    I have everything sorted so that they are sent to the right page on the first time they login (based on their user role).

    BUT I can’t seem to find a way to show an ‘Edit Profile’ form/page?! I can obviously get them on the Registration Form, but there doesn’t seem to be a way of getting the Edit Profile form on it’s own? Couldn’t find a shortcode or anything. I’ve found a few plugins that will show the standard WP profile page and allow users to edit this, but that doesn’t have the extended fields on which are then linked to BP.

    I also need to change the user role on this form submission.

    I didn’t know if I could use Contact Form 7 or something to do this, but ultimately, just duplicating the Edit Profile page would be ideal. I can style it to match the rest of the login process, as long as I can get the data to show.

    TIA

    Thanks @vapvarun but I’ve just changed the way I ask user to register now, as it seemed easier!

    You can override edit page template inside the child theme
    buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php
    at following path
    child-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php

    Hi @vapvarun the lack of shortcodes for some essential parts of a membership website is quite frustrating with BP! Lots of work in the code – especially for newbies. I’m fine with the way I have it for now though, thanks. I just wanted the form part, I don’t think it’s a good/easy way to have to create a whole page around a form. In fact, that’s not really how WP works anymore, with all the page builders and such which are so popular. But thanks for your help!

    I have another issue, which I’m gonna start a thread about! I’m sure you can help me with this one too 🙂
