Thank you — clicked around until that Manage link showed up in the menu. Now I can’t seem to get back to the main BP menu. Argh. This thing is so confusing to set up! I appreciate your help, though! This got me one step closer 🙂
I just tested by adding a new field, and for that new field, I can delete it, but perhaps because these Name ones are considered vital, there’s not a way to delete them…
On retracing– I don’t think I uninstalled and reinstalled BP, but I know I did check/uncheck/check the Extended Profiles setting because it wasn’t working, then I thought I found a solution, but nope, so turned it off again, etc. It is possible I did that 4 times…
that worked!! But should I now see 5 tabs of Field Groups that all say “Base (Primary)” when I go to Profile Fields under Users? Each of these have 5 fields called “Name (Primary) (Required)”.
Note that this is a new install. I’ve never used BuddyPress before and tried using xTended Profiles and gave up…
Oh! I see the problem! I grabbed the code from the email this site sent me, but I see above that what you input was different! Trying it now cutting and pasting from this website. (The email had added some ampersands, etc
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting ']' in /home/www/webhost8/heartsthroughtime.com/htdocs/wp-content/themes/colormag/inc/functions.php on line 18
Er, that just totally shut down my site — I have a 500 error now, and I can’t go back in (because of the 500) to take out that snippet, AND my hosting guy is on a well-deserved vacation!
