I am dumping user profile data like this:
`

:

`
… but the bp_the_profile_field_value function is adding paragraph (p) tags to the output.
How can I prevent this? I can’t find where it happens in the code.
Thanks,
Michael

We fixed this in trunk the other day. Take a look at the change here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4351/

@DJPaul but that was to fix the incorrect nesting of elements, the paragraph tags still exist for the bp_the_profile_field_value()

would not something like xprofile_get_field…() be better?

`
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘wpautop’ );
`

would do it but also remove the paragraph tags from all other fields

Thanks for the help so far.
Knowing that the extra tags were coming back, I tried to take the quick fix and strip them like this:
`

`
…but I still get the same result — data wrapped in P tags.

I spent some time trying to learn about the xprofile functions but I did not find a clear example that I could make work.

Would I would like to find a loop that gives me rather tight control of what is happening.
Perhaps like this (pseudo code):
`
$user = bp_get_profile($user_id);
for ($i = 0;$user.fields.count;$i++) {
$field = $user.fields($i);
echo $field->name;
echo $field->data;
}
`

Thanks Paul. Removing the wpautop filter gets me going for now!

If someone like me found this (as always) very old topic, use the functions from edit-profile.php instead of profile-loop functions – but in the profie loop:

bp_get_the_profile_field_edit_value()
instead of :
bp_the_profile_field_value()
or
bp_get_the_profile_field_value()

Boink, it works for me.
