BuddyPress.org

Use grep. That’s what I do. From the UNIX or Mac Terminal command line, cd to your buddypress installation directory. Then:
`grep -nR ‘bp_after_signup_profile_fields’ ./`

That’ll tell you all the locations of all the instances of that text.

In the case of this particular do_action, I am pretty sure it is just there for the use of other plugins. I don’t believe it does anything in BuddyPress itself.

A user needs to fill in these fields in order for them to show up on their profile page.

The profile page can usually be found here:
example.com/members/USERNAME/profile/

Need to be a little more explicit with info please. You added extended xprofile fields, with new group or under the base group? What versions of BP and WP are you running? Are you using a custom theme? If you are can you try deactivating it and using the BP-default theme and verify whether the same problem still manifests.

To find the profile group id, navigate to “BuddyPress > Profile Field Setup”.

Then under the profile group you want, hover over the “Edit” or “Delete” link.

You should see a link that looks like this:
`/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-profile-setup&mode=edit_group&group_id=2`

“group_id” is the variable you’re looking for.

The alternative is to remove the `’profile_group_id=1’` declaration in the register template, that should show all profile fields that you have created.

No, uploading an avatar is the second step in the registration process. Once a user fills out the form on your signup page (filling in all the fields you define in “Profile Field Setup – Base Group”) and clicks the “Complete Sign Up” button, the next page they see will allow them to upload their avatar. Users can also change their avatar right in their member’s profile after they have registered on your site.

after they sign up the xprofile fields there is a second screen that asks to upload an avatar.

Like @modemlooper said, xprofile fields are added through your WordPress backend admin area (MUCH easier than trying to hack your way through register.php).

Go to “Buddypress” > “Profile Field Setup” and add your registration fields there. Any fields you add in the first (“Base”) group will appear on your registration page.

it’s the profile fields you set up in the admin. xprofile = extended profiles. Meaning you can add as many fields as you want.

Hmm, that’s strange. It’s working for me exactly as advertised.
What’s the history of your theme? Is it default, child, custom etc?

Maybe cookies…
In the Admin, set “let user decide” for some fields.
Log out.
Clear your cookies, make sure to delete all cookies from the domain, and from any test domains, and any local domains (eg. mamp wamp etc. if you’re using that) that you’re developing the site on.
Log in as a subscriber level user.
What result now?

“If I activate it and set a field (e.g. birthdate) to “users only” – nothing happens. There are also no settings for the users in the frontend of buddypress.”

If you set it to “users only” in Admin, you’re not giving your user the choice, and that’s why there is no selector in the front end. The user will only get the selector if you choose “let user decide”.

@philippmuenchen – it works fine. I’m guessing you’re trying to test it while you’re logged in as Admin? The privacy controls don’t apply to Admin. Admin can see everything. Log in as a regular user and then test.

Age calculation: http://code.hyperspatial.com/all-code/buddypress-code/buddypress-age/

@noizeburger – it works for all fieldgroups, not just Base.

You need to override the new user admin email function:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_new_user_notification

Then you need to call on some BuddyPress functions to grab the xprofile data.

xprofile_get_field_data() (located in bp-xprofile.php) will help.

If all this is foreign to you, short answer is “it’s possible, but requires coding”

The create group function is groups_create_group(); it can be found in /bp-groups.php.

You can add checks for profile fields when a user activates their account with the “bp_core_activated_user” action, available in the bp_core_activate_signup() function (this can be found in /bp-core/bp-core-signup.php).

Hope that gives you a few pointers.

BP Profile Privacy only works for fields in the fieldgroup “Base” (ID 1). In which group did you place the birthday field?
