BuddyPress.org

Hey there!

I have a quite simple dilemma but can’t quite get it right. I am trying to set up the extended profile for users but I’d like for some of the basic profile fields from a standard WordPress installation to show and be edited through it.

Especifically I’d like to have the first name, last name, url and user description, that are available trough the wp-admin/profile.php dashboard page, to be editable through the <site>/members/<user nicename>/profile/edit/group/1/ page.

How can I do that? Thanks a lot!

PS. I asked ChatGPT and got this answer that throws a Fatal error:
