Hi @takuya and @cyrille13 – Sorry for some of the miscommunications above. It was only after seeing the linked bug report that I was able recognize that what you were reporting was actually an instance of https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3725, which we’ve known about for a while, but which was very difficult to track down. (See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3725#comment:7 for all the gory details.) It has been fixed for the next version of BP. In the meantime, you can fix your installation either by manually applying https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5778, or by doing what @cyrille13 suggests: changing the name of your Full Name profile field at Dashboard > BuddyPress > Profile Fields.
Thanks for your patience.
I looked at adding some $xprofile_allowedtags into the bp-xprofile-filters.php file. No luck with that either yet. Must be something else.
I’ve been searching for an answer myself for awhile.. I kinda gave up on it but still was able to put
“ in the css in home.php and created divs and allowed the users to change the size, color, ect of their profile.
I have some text area fields that are to be displayed on a custom profile page. In the code I am using xprofile_get_field_data to pull in the data for each field. But where I use it for some text area descriptions that I would like to allow some basic tags, it strips them out. It will allow strong tag but no p, br, em tags.
When a new user registers some fields in the extended profile are filled in for them already.
I had a ‘Location’ field which always featured the word ‘UK’ and users had to delete it before they could enter their own location. I solved this by deleting the field and creating a new one named ‘Location’.
The same is now happening for the ‘Name’ field in which it is always filled out with the name of my Buddypress site. I can’t delete this one though and create a new field as this is the primary field.
Thanks
Hello:
The extended profile fields are not showing up on my iPhone. I’m using the BuddyPress Mobile plugin. I also didn’t see the extended profile fields using other mobile site plug-ins. It shows “Profile Details,” but nothing shows up below that. Can someone help me figure out why they’re not showing up?
Thanks.

Please don’t hijack another thread with a different problem. It would be better start a new topic!
Is there a way to isolate the notifications from the other profile settings?
I’m using amember V4 to manage registration and subscriptions everything is working correctly except for 1 thing… The “settings” menu in the subscribers user profile goes to a blank white page “404” is the error I get.
for example…
http://www.mysmallbizu.com/directory/subscribersusername/settings/
The other issue is that because amember is handling the login and registration/ username and password etc. I’d only like the user to be able to edit their notifications from this menu… Not their U and P: is there a way to do this?
In BP 1.6, we’ve added profile field visibility (privacy); ‘anyone’, ‘logged in users’, ‘my friends’. Try it out on testbp.org when you edit your profile. Not quite what you’ve asked for, but it should open up a new range of possibilities for plugin authors to filter things further.
No such thing sadly; you could ensure the fields are in a specific group of their own and then wrap that in a if is_admin check so only admins can read, if you are creating a theme for general use and wouldn’t know the field names then you may need to write a function of some description with dashboard option settings to manage things or check what BP plugins are available in the ‘privacy’ genre and see if they offer any greater control.
Actually, I did. She was wondering if there were more obvious solutions than what she could think of. Though she mentioned that the listed solution only works if you don’t ever have a different field name.
Attached is a screenshot of what I really was hoping BuddyPress would have, a standard Ning feature, which allows you to select ‘private’, so the answer will only be visible to you and other administrators: http://csplacemaking.com/images/profile-questions.png. This is the ideal solution.
😆 oh if you had a programmer you should have thrown it his way first- anyway it’s an easy enough problem to deal with one way or another.
Thanks Hugo, I’ll have to pass this one on to our programmer 
You’ll need to do something like wrap the custom xprofile loop section in a check for a specific field name ‘birthdate’ and do something like ‘if not’ ‘birthdate’ go ahead and display field item or display if is_admin if you want to be able to see users data as a site admin.
To remove a field you could do:
`
<tr>
|
|
`
in the profile loop; equally if you wanted to remove a complete field group you can copy the approach seen in the file for ensuring that the base group is not shown `if ( 1 != bp_get_the_profile_group_id() ) ` adding an OR followed by a check on the group id to hide.
I just realized our site was displaying birthdate on members’ profile fields publicly! Arrrgh! How do I hide certain fields? We do need that info, but only at registration, not displaying on people’s profiles! Help would be greatly appreciated. No luck finding solutions with Google.
I tried to make a user acount with an email adress that has an underscore in it. all went well accept for the fact that when I type the underscore I get an empty space instead if the ” _ ”
I think this was deleted before – if there is a problem with my post, please do let me know.
I just finished building my Buddypress site. There are some additional things I want to do, but I don’t know how to do them.
1. I do not want Buddypress’s “Name (required)” field to be editable. I installed S2Member, and created custom profile fields, and I was able to remove edit capabilities from them. However, members are still able to change that buddy press name field.
2. I do not want my homepage to have a blog feel. I want it to be a regular home page that I put text/ pictures on.
3. I would like a page dedicated to a member profile search. I want four search fields – First Name, Last Name, City, and State. I guess this would have to be tied into the S2Member plugin since I used it to add the additional profile fields First Name, Last Name, City, and State.
4. I would like an additional Activity tab where members only post pictures and a small comment, unlike their activity/timeline where they post anything they wish.
5. I would like the activity/timeline page to have a different color scheme than the rest of my site – white so that it’s easier on the eyes.
Can any of you help with this?
Thanks!
BP should fulfil all your requirements in respect of the opening post and you can extend that profile functionality with a little work – by default all profile fields are shown excepting signup fields such as email.
The easiest way is to create a new profile field group, and move the fields you don’t want to appear on the registration form into it.
The more involved way is to edit the /registration/register.php file in your theme, and tweak the section that begins “Use the profile field loop to render input fields”. This is also the place where you’ll want to move the markup to arrange the form to your liking; you will probably also need to add some CSS to your theme.
Profiles are by default public, you can also extend them by creating your own custom xprofile fields, these and any profile fields can be further modified if wished to show or hide some based on whether the displayed user is also the logged in user.
