Hi,

Please try this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-admin-only-profile-fields/

The UI is changed now so you will find the option in visibility drop-down.

Thanks

Hi,

You just need to create a profile field. Please go to your dashboard and find xprofile fields under ‘Users’ menu and there add a new field and name it About and in field type you can choose multiline text area.

As soon as it is created you will be able to see it on signup form(register form) and profile itself.

Thanks

Please check this thread once: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/line-breaks-in-profile-fields-descriptions-not-showing/

Thanks

You can go with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-admin-only-profile-fields/ to set the visibility to hidden/admin only.

Thanks

Ok, got that.

Please check this thread: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/adding-xprofile-fields-to-members-directory-list-items/

Thanks

Hi,

Please try to use this plugin https://github.com/wbcomdesigns/bp-modify-member-directory-header

It says that it allows showing profile fields on members directory and profile’s header.

Thanks

Unless you have a database backup from the previous day that you can revert to, then no, it is not recoverable.

It looks like you have a database backup, the DB tables you would want to revert and replace are “wp_bp_xprofile_fields” and “wp_bp_xprofile_groups”. You would have to contact your web host to figure out how to use your backup.

The delete confirmation sounds like a good idea though.

You can try placing this in the functions.php of your Child Theme. Though for buddypress you might want to use bp_get_profile_field_data instead of xprofile_get_field_data.
I’m trying to do something similar, but the fields are not showing up in my email. I have a feeling the email is getting sent before the database is updated, but for the life of me, I can’t get them… Good luck!

Hi,

You can create xprofile fields to save there data and then can search them on the basis of those fields under members directory using this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-search/

Thanks

Hi,

If you are able to retrieve those fields then you can easily show them on members’s profile. You just have to override profile template from Buddypress in your child them then just fetch and echo out these values in proper HTML.

Thanks

Hi,

If you want to go with the contact form plugin then there is no need to select a registration page in BuddyPress amd have to use shortcode on the page and then create a button on header(as you like) and link it to the register page.

Now, if you want to save data in xprofile fields then have to do custom coding for sure.

Thanks

Yes, this is how it works.

It will need customization to map WordPress fields to BuddyPress xProfile fields.

You can check this plugin https://profilepress.net/downloads/wordpress-buddypress-extended-profile-sync/ as well.

Thanks

It will be custom work. You can add this code snippet in your child theme’s functions.php to achieve this:

add_filter('bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_message','ps_user_data_to_email',10,2);
function ps_user_data_to_email( $msg, $user_id )
{
  $user = get_user_by( 'id', $user_id );
  if(!empty($user))
    $data1 =  xprofile_get_field_data('your_first_field_name',$user->ID);
    echo 'Your Profile Field Name'. ' : '.$data1;
    $data2 =  xprofile_get_field_data('your_second_field_name',$user->ID);
    echo 'Your Profile Field Name'. ' : '.$data2;
}

You can do this for all the profile fields by just repeating the code to get data3 data4 like I did for data1 data2 and obviously you have to use your profile fields name in place of ‘your_first_field_name’, ‘your_second_field_name’ and ‘Your Profile Field Name’.

Thanks

Please check this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types/.

They are already adding profile fields with select2 js support, mentioned in the features as well.

Thanks
