And I resolved it simply.

Just add

#buddypress table.profile-fields p {
	margin-top: 10px !important;
	margin-bottom: 10px !important;
}

or the kind of margin you want, to a custom css, and voíla!

And now I find that this is a known and ticketed bug in the Mulitline-textbox xprofile function. Last updated 3 months ago. Why does buddypress have a multiline-textboxfield at all if the issue is so hard to resolve?

No wonder the wpautop breaks the profile.

Anyway. Is there a way around this? any fixes or anything that can make the multiline field recognize br tags instead of ignoring them?

Anyone?

[The Doctor]

Did you ever solve this?

I’m having the same issue and no one is responding at all… 🙁

Forgot to link to the page I’m talking about!

Is there maybe a way to create a function instead of using wpautop?
Thank you!

After 3 intense days I finally figured it out. Edit the home.php located in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members and some css.

[The Doctor]

Anyone that can point me in the right direction, please?

It is this filter that causes the paragraph tag to force itself into the profilename:

add_filter( 'xprofile_get_field_data', 'wpautop' ); located in the bp-xprofile directory.

When I remove it everything is normal, but if I do them the bio-field that I have in members-header won’t have any line breaks at all.

What can I do to compromise? Is there another filtervalue I can use?

I’, sorry if this a bit jumbled up, but I’m sick as a dog this week…

[The Doctor]

Nobody tha can help me here?

Is it a filter or similar that is acting up? And if that’s the case, which filter file could it be?

[The Doctor]

I tried that, but when I do I get a 404 error, and when I try to move around the members tabs I get redirected to the 404 error all the time…

What am I doing wrong?

[The Doctor]

(sorry for the double-topic.. what happened?)

[The Doctor]

Thank you!!

I want to do the same thing with a little bio next to the avatar.

So where do I start? I’m really new at this, not a developer, but I’ve managed to create a site with modifications after all.

I want the “bio” field to be limited to 850 characters with a counter. Where do I make the changes and where do I add the function/javascript that is mentioned above?

Thank you in advance, I’d be very grateful for serious answers, not just hints to the documentation pages.

[The Doctor]

Sorry for the ambiguous answer, I was in a bit of a hurry.
I was searching in the wrong folders: bp-themess/bp-default/buddypress/members/single, so that’s why nothing happened when I was modifying things. But I’m all up and running now! Thank you!

[The Doctor]

Thank you! I was digging around in the bp-themes folders and nothing happenes…

3 years later, and with ByddyPress 2.0, how should I relate to this post?

I can’t seem to find the folders that are described here…
CAn someone point me in the right direction?
