Re: Add fields to wp_users
I have related questions about the relationship between the WP tables and the BP tables, so I’d like to make sure that I understand the responses above.
I know that BP maintains user profile information separately from “wp_usermeta” (in “wp_bp_xprofile_data”, to be specific). BP provides functionality for modifying this information, but no way for putting “wp_usermeta” fields into the “edit profile” form.
So I think the answer to Peter’s question is that without *major* customization:
1. You have to be happy with user data being stored in a few different places
2. All user editable info must be in the tables created by BP
Is this correct?
BTW, what does the “Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?” option do under BP General Settings in the admin page? Does this only apply to the username field?
