You should create a custom component. This may be out of your coding skill level but you can check out the BuddyPress skeleton component plugin for example code.
People can create any plugin they want and even charge for plugins. However, its in bad taste to find any thread related and post links to a paid plugin. This is what is generally called spam.
I want to point out that I tried your plugin and while it may do as advertised, the method of overriding a template file is bad. You need to learn how BuddyPress creates the user menu. It’s not the same as WP menus. Overriding a template file that places a WP menu into that space is not a good strategy.
Star date ript247 “Still cant create new accounts” Deactivated all plugins not a plugin issue. Narrowed it down to buddypress installation in itself. How can/do I resolve this problem?
@shawn38 , Thanks. Doesn’t the BP FriendPress plug in handle some of what I’m looking for. It only has 1 star, is it not supported anymore?
@shawn38
Ok I just downloaded the plugin from WP, unzip it and open the php file with Notepad (the default one with Windows), the white space is there right after ?>.
I again opened it with Notepad++, the white space is also there. Wonder why your Notepad is not showing.
@johnjamesjacoby i am running the latest version of BuddyPress and bbPress together (running bbPress as site-wide forums integrated with BuddyPress). I would like to add any custom xprofile BuddyPress fields that I created underneath the avatar of a user in the forums.
The actual code that writes out the replies loop is inside the “loop-single-reply.php” file of the bbPress plugin. But how do I connect to BuddyPress and display any xprofile fields that I want though?
@shawn38
I did not use any editor for that matter. I edited the php file directly in Plugin/Editor of WP.
The white space is after the closing tag “?>” , I just did a backspace to eliminate it. That’s all I did.
The white space could have appeared in the Plugin/Editor after installation…..I’m not sure of that.
@shawn38 @mercime I really need help. Can’t create new users since I launched site not a good look. Page just refreshes with password fields empty. Can’t crate a new topic on buddypress to address this topic, doubly agitating:-( I don’t want to be an asterik and start breaking in on most recent topics to get my topic heard. Emailed the issue to the higher ups of idk land to resolve the topic creation issue nothing. Someone Help me please this is ridiculous 19 pages of registration issues none related to my topic that stands out as a way to resolve this.

Try @modemloopers plugin:

By the way I need a prayer request so I am interested in your site.

Edit:
I am not trying to personally attack you but there is a pecking order and you have not earned the right to charge for a plugin yet. I program stuff like this while I am asleep so I have no use of your code other than testing it so non-programmers may benefit. People I respect are @mercime @hnla @r-a-y @djpaul @boonebgorges @johnjamesjacoby They never charge for helping a soul.
Your a developer just like me so please do not use the word “we” to address me. You are an individual trying to sell a single plugin with with no credentials at all so don’t mislead people into thinking your some big corporation by using that word. Its condescending to speak to a fellow developer in that manner. @modemlooper has already made plugins free of charge and he has a ton of experience more than I have, and probably more than you as well. His plugins are solid so I am inclined to give links here for the sake of open source:
This is a awesome plugin for free:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/
This is another awesome plugin for free that allows you to do many things including changing order of buddypress profile items among other things.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-extended-settings/
All credit goes to @modemlooper for his dedication and contributions to open source software. @r-a-y also has some awesome plugins that still are functional.
Thanks to you @mercime I appreciate this feedback. This is a voyage of discovery for us, and thanks indeed! xx
@shawn38
I really don’t know what’s going on with the plugin. There’s no special setting to do, just install and activate, as simple as that. But each time I activate the plugin, the same logout error occur. I’m on WP 3.4.2, BP 1.61 and Frisco 1.5.04 (I’ve also tried BP-default)
I’ve no problem with the other BP plugins now (just tested them) after I did the manual WP install as suggested by @modemlooper. I’ve re-installed your plugin thru’ WP dashboard and manually via FTP, the problem persisted. I’ll comeback to it later after I’ve build up my site. You might want to look into this and hopefully more people can help pin down this issue.
I deleted wp, did a manual install, install BuddyPress, set it up and activate. Chose BP-default theme and install the plugin ‘BP Adminbar For Admins Only’……try logout……the same blank page with http://mydomain.com/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=9ae5d4dc54
HELP!!!!

If you wanna change lables then see the codex. Its simple as can be.

@shawn38 We really appreciate your offer, but we’d then have to do the same to all users who ask and it wouldn’t be fair to anyone who had bought the Pro version. Having said that, the free version does provide an excellent venue for you to test the bulk of the plugin’s functionality.
Thanks for understanding

@sensibleplugins I want a copy of the pro version for testing purposes and if it works correctly I will give you a good testimonial on your site. Let me know if your willing to let me test it?
Actually I think it is impossible without modifying the core files. Any character limit or other custom validation is lost in the edit profile page, and since the $error is a local variable on xprofile_screen_edit_profile, there is no way to set it. Can you confirm that @djpaul?
I don’t know if this is planned for future releases, but I could help build a better validation code for user registration and edit profile. Adding a character limit to fields would be nice.
@djpaul thanks for the reply
I found what is going on: xprofile_check_is_required_field bypasses if user is administrator, that’s why I was able to save required fields empty.
Now I am trying to hook xprofile_check_is_required_field to a bp-custom function called check_and_validate that also checks the fields for a character limit (another very important missing security feature I pointed out on another post.) But somehow it is not working.. any ideas on how to do it?
By the way Paul, how can I submit tickets on bug tracking? I’ve been messing around with buddypress a lot lately and found a couple.
@modemlooper
Lol…..before I read your post I just did what you said. Not working, BP-default is giving the same problem. I even did a WP uninstall/re-install…..no luck.
I don’t understand, it’s a totally new installation and I havn’t even add a post/page, just finished with the setup only and I’m face with this problem.
Add a plugin that causes logout problem then switch theme to BP-default. If problem goes away then frisco theme is causing error. It seems weird because logout is a WP function. BuddyPress doesn’t create it’s own logout.
Hi @jekofalltrades
There is a plugin which meets your requirements exactly, if you not want to code by yourself, but it is paid plugin tho,
