Thanks for answering, but there are no tokens for custom xprofile fields?
Hi,
It’s just a style issue. Please paste the following CSS:
.profile .profile-fields td.label {
background: #f5f5f5;
color: #707070;
}
Hopefully, it will fix your problem.
Thanks
I’m having perhaps a related issue with messages. When I switch to the old theme the messages work fine. Here is my original post:
_______________________
Greetings!
I just installed BP version 3.1.0 with WooCommerce StoreFront theme on WP 4.9.8 hosted on WPEngine.
When I go to a users profile and click private message, it takes me to the messages tab, but the compose fields do not show. The URL appears to have the proper query string with the users name. Example: compose?r=julesyoga
Could caching be preventing the page from loading perhaps?
Do you know any reason why the page isn’t loading in compose mode and the name isn’t being populated.

wp version: 4.9.8
Thanks so much!
Thank you @shanebp. I had a look at those examples and think that should be ok. One other question. What is the database table structure for this? Is there a separate database table for groups? I presume that the individual member data is saved in the wp_users table?
Also I have seen in the documentation that the individual profile pages can be customized by customizing the template files and saving that into the child theme. Is that the same with groups? If I set up a group for each of my small business ‘members’ I’m assuming there would be a group page for each one? And that I could display my new custom fields somehow?
Thanks,
Roseanne
In Users>>Profile Fields there is the default profile group – Base, any profile field in this group will be on the registration form. If you create another profile group, the fields in their will not be shown on the registration form.
Check out the “Displaying Extended Profile Fields on Member Profiles” article
Displaying Extended Profile Fields on Member Profiles
I am still interested in
If user = friend + member type {[bpps_profile_field field=”fieldname” tab=”section”]}
specific tab (or tab fields) are shown to friends only of specific member type
I deleted all profile fields, set new profile fields in 2 groups: Base (Primary) and Company.
Now Company field group is not showing in the Profile page, and Base fields generate the same error when save changes is clicked.
Plugin disabled: BP Profile Shortcodes Extra (generated many errors including fatal error)
Plugin active: BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types
Is there proven tutorial how to successfully add more fields in BP Profile?
Ya, It will need to create the script to export data from OSSN and after you will also need to create import script for BuddyPress. For User profile and extended fields, there are some plugins which can populate BuddyPress using CSV.
Why not write a plugin? Here’s one, for example, that provides third-party xProfile Fields:
BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types
You can add fields via Users/Profile Fields, captcha would normally be added via a plugin. To change the text what I normally do is create a custom language translation file using Poedit.
It’s just a blank page, the content is populated by the BP Template file – plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau ( or bp-legacy) /members/register.php and this creates the structure depending on what additional profile fields you have added in Users/Profile Fields.
Hi
I have never actually used the feature of adding custom or editing profile fields. Under Users => Profile Fields, there’s nothing, I guess meaning none have been added manually.
On the Edit User => Extended Profile tab, the only options there are Update Profile from pre-selected “Spammer” to “Active”, which does not work, View Profile and Edit Profile Photo.
So I do not see where I could delete that field.

@dggerhart I was able to register for your site without a confirmation email and post “test” comment to your general group. Enabling email confirmation to register will help. Using a checkbox for your Privacy Policy GDPR compliance, is needed and will help too. I would give the Honeypot plugin a try on your staging site (disclaimer, I don’t use, and it’s old) but what it does is pretty simple so it could be ok. Admin notification of new users will help. Manually checking email addresses and questionable profiles (if you have more profile fields) will eliminate the obvious spammers and most are obvious. You can manually approve new users if that won’t be overwhelming. On a different note, you might want to block your dashboard access and you have some html tags displaying. Also a registration menu item (it was hard to figure out how to register) are some things I noticed too. I hope you find this helpful
Perhaps the tag is created by ‘Autolink’ ?
You can disable Autolink by going to wp-admin > Users > Profile Fields > your field and look for ‘Autolink’ in the right-side column.
Then you could write a filter function to create a custom tag.
Or you could not disable autolink and write a filter function to change the text in the tag.
I’m currently trying to build on top of the BP Search plugin. It allows for the searching of BuddyPress fields, but when the results appear, it only shows the member’s name and activity, not the actual profile field details.
I’ve also been trying to set up conditional logic that allows the fields to populate options depending on a previous field choice.
An example is seen here:
https://evo.nsr-inc.com/prospect_search?show=results&pageSize=50&activeSort=lastUpdated&sortDir=desc
Notice that the “Position” Field doesn’t display without the “Sport” field being entered.
– On a sidenote, I’ve found an advanced search called UsersInsights, It claims to be compatible with BuddyPress. Perhaps this could be a potential solution to both of my issues, but I’m currently inquiring through email to see if it is. Has anyone used this before?
Search and Filter Your BuddyPress User Data
The strings “admin” and “firstname-lastname” are no present in the respective user profiles. Those phrases ONLY exist as the @-mention name that appears in the profile page across from the picture.
You kind of answered your own question.
The at-mention name uses the user_nicename field from the wp_users database table. This can differ from the display name. The user_nicename info also isn’t exposed in the WordPress admin dashboard, which is why you might be confused.
If a user registered manually on your site, this would be the Username that they enter on the registration page. If you imported a bunch of users from another system, check your database with a web app like phpMyAdmin or Adminer. You can also use a command-line tool like wp-cli to view the user fields:
wp user list
You can also try using a plugin like Edit Author Slug if you want the ability to edit the user_nicename field, but use with caution (untested):
Edit Author Slug
Test in a local environment before deploying on your live site.
Work for me, also it’s the type of issue where I’d be thinking “do I have a plugin that’s checking to see if those fields are there and recreating them every time I delete them?” since creating a specific profile field is not something built into the BP code.
So the first questin is have you tried deactivating all plugins and seeing if the issue is unchanged?
you could setup another buddypress site and use sync users to it https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/wordpress-user-synchronization/
and then ask users to share their info to experts there,
and rename to friends to experts, and all the profile fields default to share with experts only
works for me 🙂 and is better than what I had in mind
p.s.
redirect registration to master site due to plugin one way sync
Hi Varun,
Thank you so much for the reply.
I did the testing with and without Buddypress Xprofile custom fields type on both versions (Version 1.0.0 and Version 2.6.3) but no luck on getting the front-end User profile SETTINGS to work (not displaying the settings page)
Also I even do the testing with newly install wordpress-4.9.6 and buddypress 3.0.0 only but still no luck as well on getting the front-end User profile SETTINGS to work (not displaying the settings page)
But when I try using the buddypress Version 2.9.3 and with xprofile custom fields type with versions: 1.0.0 and 2.6.3 all are working properly.
I dont know if the said issues is on buddypress version 3.0.0 that is not displaying the front-end users profile Settings page (General and Profile Visibility tab)
Thank you so much.
Best regards,
Dennis
@denniscabasal BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields Type: v2.6.3 is not compatible with BP3.0 You can check https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types/ which is new plugin based on Donmik’s plugin

Xprofile Custom Fields Type (version 2.6.3)
apparently has some problems and won’t be fixed. WordPress.org says:
This plugin was closed on January 26, 2018 and is no longer available for download. Reason: Security Issue.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/
Someone just released a drop-in replacement with an easy migration path:
Xprofile Custom Field Type (version 1.0).
Note, no “s” in “Field.” Also, the directory is different!
BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types
I’m trying it out. Though it doesn’t have a lot of downloads so far, the developer has other plugins on WordPress.org that have been around for a while.
