Okay, then, I have this half working. Is there a safe way to update a wp_bp_xprofile_data table then? I see I can pull out a bit of profile data with xprofile_get_field_data(‘field_name’,$userid)….is there one for update? that way I can keep this info synched from within my own plugin as well.
Will this work if two of our questions are lists of countries/states and the other two are lists of categories? In other words, will buddypress allow me to add data sets like these? And can I still set the data in wp_usermeta table and retrieve it in other uses?
Also–is it possible to rework look and feel of the registration form itself? Two of our questions involve choosing images along with form elements, didn’t know if this was possible.
Yeah, at the moment we are using the answers to these questions to grab content based on their gender, location, and category preferences — we match what they give us to WP categories and any meta-keys in the content we can match.
