I would like to add a few custom profile fields on the members list. for example, there name is there soI would like to add, company and title.
How do I go about doing that?
Thanks,
DerekHello, really enjoying BP so far so thanks for all the hard work done on it.
The one bug that I’ve uncovered is that after having checked and unchecked the Allow Extended Profiles checkbox a few times (I was troubleshooting another issue, I’m really not that changeable) it keeps adding a new “name” field to the Base profile, which I can’t delete. This has left me looking like someone who is really, really, really fascinated about people’s names, which I’m not. Just once would be fine, I’m ok with trust. (Screengrab – http://www.freeimagehosting.net/pn5b4)
Anyone know how I can edit that Base section, I’d like to delete the whole thing and start again.
Using WP 3.3.1 and BP 1.5.4.
I am wondering the best way to customize the fields on the registration page.
I want to limit the fields to a little as possible to encourage registrations. As it is now, including all profile fields on the registration page is kind of daunting as a new user with no investment in the site yet, and not totally necessary for sign up. (at least for me)
My intention is to have them fill out the necessities and then on activation be sent to their profile and be encouraged to fill in the rest. That part I’m good with. It’s just the customizing of the form I am having some trouble with.
Ideally what i’d like to do is have only
`
Full name
user name
email
password (no confirm password)
`I’ve taken a look at the register.php file but I’m not totally sure what’s going on here.
If i remove any required fields, say the confirm password, validation errors occur, due to the password not being entered twice. (which makes sense, but how should i properly deactivate this?)I know there are some plugins that can kind of maybe sort of do this with some figity trickery but that doesn’t help me understand whats actually going on.
I have not been able to find anything about this. [Is there no search box for the forums or am I being stupid?]
The profile-fields loop in bp-default uses a table layout. I have seen divs used in a premium plugin (buddydev’s cosmicbuddy). I think that a non-table layout would give the flexibility I need, particularly as member Profiles is probably going to be the most important component for the site. Is there any well-known way to do this before I have a go myself and perhaps try to reinvent the wheel. (OK it is a very tiny wheel!)
I am just starting out with a clean install of BuddyPress 1.5.4 on WordPress 3.3.1 and am making a child theme of bp-default.
I made a second Extended Profile Group tab and moved items from my default “Base” tab to it. Well, I accidentally deleted the second Group tab and instead of moving the Profile Fields back to the “Base” tab, it deleted the groups as well as the new tab.
The major problem: the profile field listed “Name (Primary) (Required)” was in that new tab.
So now I’m without that field and it’s an essential part of the site.
Is there a way to re-add the “Name (Primary) (Required)” to my BuddyPress Extended Profiles? The other fields that were deleted are easy enough to recreate, just that I’m not sure how this would work with the Name field.
For future updates to BuddyPress, can you include either and “undo” or make all fields in other fields fall back to the Base group?
I would like to create an author box that displays BuddyPress Profile Information about the author. I am using xprofile fields but I am not having much luck.
What is the easiest but most secure way to display this data? I’m pretty sure I can handle the CSS but the BuddyPress Function is where I find myself challenged the most.

In BP profile fields there’s a field for “name” which I believe corresponds to WP login name… must be all lowercase and I assume can’t be changed (?)
I don’t see other fields such as… first name / last name / nickname and most importantly display name, actually I don’t see any other of the standard WP fields (anyway the others are not so important)
I might have messed up something while customising the BP profile fields/groups, on the other hand I don’t know how to allow users to select their first / last name and most importantly the display name
as a matter of fact, when a user updates his BP profile, since there’s no field for “display” name, his username becomes blank!! (it means if I try to get things as author name or get currentuser display name… I get nothing!)
disabling profile syncing of course can fix this (however I still have to re-enter manually name, family name, display name in wordpress backend)
is there any way to achieve a good synchronization using only BP profile fields?
also I would need this to support localisation
thank you
The question is self explaining. I want to add Country and City to the profile fields of members. The problem is that both of the fields require list of countries and cities. It’s impossible to do it manually.
How do I get it working. Is there any script that can generate the list for the above fields?
I followed the complete documentation in buddypress codex while installing buddypress and read a lot of discussion forums about this issue of sitewide forum activity not displaying in buddypress activity stream, but I am still not able to fix this issue.
I have created several forums, added seven forums posts but none of them appearing in my activity stream. Even I updated my profile after adding new profile fields and that too isn’t appearing in the activity stream.
The sitewide forum is located at http://www.environmentabout.com/community/forums and buddypress activity at http://www.environmentabout.com/community/activity
Using the Display Name, in BuddyPress Profile Fields, does not save the information to the WordPress User Edit section.
When I’m using BuddyPress and I edit a member profile name, it does not save and display the new name. It only displays the name that the user (or I) logs in with. No matter how many times I edit the profile name in the BuddyPress profile settings, it will not save.
However, when I edit the User via the WordPress Edit User, I can save the name correctly so that it doesn’t display the login name. But, if I go back and edit the BuddyPress Profile settings to change the name again, it reverts back to the login name and will not save or maintain the previous changes.
This is not secure/safe as everyone can see the login name and only have to guess the password to login to other peoples accounts.
Is BuddyPress, by default, not supposed to show a “Nickname” rather only show the login name? I’ve been trying to figure this out for hours and my brain is finally fried, so I figured to post this here.
Hi, I am using the latest wordpress 3.3.1 and buddypress 1.5 releases I’ve looked through the plugins and hacks but couldnt find anything specific that could modify the author-box fields. Currently default display is:
1. Avatar
2. byWhat I wanted to do was add additional fields from the BuddyPress profile to display in the author box. I was able to update the members profile page successfully using http://bp-tricks.com/snippets/displaying-certain-profile-fields-on-your-members-profile-page/ but when I try the same code in the author-box it didnt work. Any suggestions or plugins that will do the trick?
I’ve created a Buddypress custom groups and fields and they do not show up either in the default profile or the new groups. The only thing that shows up under public is the name. I’m logged in as administrator and the only way to see them is to edit profile, simply viewing the profile shows nothing but the name field.
BP 1.5.4
Mingle 1.5.2Please advise …
Thanks.
