Reply To: Need to Export Profile Fields
Hi @barkins – BP doesn’t have a built-in tool for this (though it should – see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7393, https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/408). If you know that user IDs will remain the same between the local WP install and the live install, then you can do a simple database export/import, something like:
$ mysqldump -u db_user -p db_name wp_bp_xprofile_groups wp_bp_xprofile_fields wp_bp_xprofile_data > ~/xprofile-export.sql
$ mysql -u db_user -p db_name < ~/xprofile-export.sql
If the user names will not be the same, you’ll need to write a script to handle this, but the details will depend on how you plan to identify users (email address, etc).
