I ended up not using the plugin, however, I did make a post in their support forum asking them to resolve it. It seemed like the default profile fields sufficed for me anyway.
It’s funny, but the plugin used to creat the custom fields Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type 1.5.5.5 is what is causing the links to appear. I’m very confused as to what to do. I disabled all plugins and the current theme, and the links didn’t appear, however, as soon as I re-enabled the Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type 1.5.5.5, then the links appear.
