Use this function, and change ‘Country’ to the name you gave the field.
function naisai_make_field_delete() {
global $wpdb;
$table = $wpdb->prefix . "bp_xprofile_fields";
$wpdb->query( "UPDATE $table SET can_delete = 1 WHERE name = 'Country'" );
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'naisai_make_field_delete' );
Then visit your site’s home page.
Then go to that field in wp-admin and you should see a Delete link.
If you have more than one field you want to Delete, then change the name in the function and repeat the process.
When you are done – remove the function.
Then, if you want, get the code from the gist and run again.
You should remove that code as soon the field is created.
If you edit the field name, then a new field will be created – if you don’t remove the code.
They dont have a delete button and now I cannot remove any of the fields.
That is because 'can_delete' => false, should be 'can_delete' => true,.
I have corrected the gist.
To delete the fields you already have, you can use a database tool like phpmyadmin.
You need to find the row(s) in the bp_xprofile_fields table and for each row, change the can_delete field value to 1. Then a ‘Delete’ will appear for that field in wp-admin.
I have run into an issue when trying to get field data from a profile field that has the same name for two separate user role groups.
The simplest solution is to pass the field id rather than the field name. $value = xprofile_get_field_data($field_id, $user_id);
You can get the field id by looking at the url in wp-admin when you edit that field, or just rolling over the edit button.
You want to remove navigation from all profile pages?
