The first problem is that the All Members count was is way higher than my current active Memberpress members. It appears to be virtually all MP members who ever signed up, active or otherwise.

The second problem is that the…[Read more]

The code you suggested was incorrect. Here is the correct code to fix the problem:
function my_xprofile_sync_wp_profile( $user_id = 0 ) {
// Bail if profile syncing is disabled.
if ( bp_disable_profile_sync() ) {
return true;
}
if ( empty( $user_id ) ) {
$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();

To make in even more confusing WP offers the ability to set the display_name to any of the other names (nickname, first name last name, username, and more) – I think it is username by default. Well I’ve learned something about WP’s and BP’s use of names, so maybe that will help me figure out what is going wrong with the xprofile function you…[Read more]

More precisely, I removed the function from the action and then added your revised function. I guess that should not prevent the forum name from being set and yet it apparently does. Well, your bullet items are good info, especially that first one. I…[Read more]

Just @mentioning you in case you’re not subscribed. I think you code can work for me if we can just get the Forum name back to being savable.

After looking at the original function in the link you posted, I’m guessing that updating the nickname with $fullname is not wrong, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I notice that this…[Read more]

I have tried out your code and there’s a problem. But first, to address your question about the “name” field, when I’m talking about Forum Name I am talking about the Group (which had been called Base Profile). That is what I changed to Name, for UX reasons. However, I see that the field I’m calling “Name” is field_1 so probably I did…[Read more]

I believe it will work for me but it may take me a day or two to check it all out.

Or why Buddypress overrides important BBpress fields for editing the forum profile? I think there must be a way around this. I do not see that Memberpress is involved in this profile page at all (no apparent mepr classes or…[Read more]

The url I’m using is, for example, https://masteringid.com/members/testmember/profile/edit/group/1/, which produces the following form:
Edit Profile
Editing “Forum username” Profile Group
Name (required)

This field may be seen by: Everyone
Forum Signature

Note that I have changed “base profile” to “forum username”…[Read more]

If I find the answer, other than getting rid of Buddypress, I’ll let you know. Please do the same for me if you find an answer. So far I have come up empty.

This is what I want with Buddypress enabled and I see that it works this way on this forum here, but I can’t see what I have done in Buddypress to break this.
