BuddyPress.org

Hi @leahkoerper

Thanks a lot for these new inputs. I’ve tested what you’ve described to try to reproduce the issue. I’ve created 3 new users on my development environment:
– User A is contributor
– User B is Editor
– User C is Subscriber

Being an admin, I’ve added a field without enforcing the field visibility.

Users A, B & C can change the field visibility and the field visibility they chose is fully respected.

So I can’t reproduce your issue with a fresh WordPress install with only BuddyPress being activated.

I believe you may have some code running on your config that prevents BuddyPress to act like it should. If it’s not a plugin or a theme, try to look if there’s an existing wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file or a wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory with files in it.
