BuddyPress.org

I don’t think the changes I’ve made could have caused that, I only updated the version checking which is internal to the plugin and not referenced by other, and I didn’t change any data that was being recorded in the database. If you deactivate xprofile custom fields, does the problem go away?

@ma3ry BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields have some security loopholes and it will need dedicated time to fix all issues and make it compatible with the latest version.

@venutius check it once if you have time. It has 6000+ active install, needs some attention.

@ma3ry there is a temp fix for BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields Type by @venutius you can check it.

@mckennapoole checked at your site, You have added custom css to hide mandatory fields

remove it from custom css section

#buddypress .standard-form #profile-details-section {
    display: none;
}

After that, it will work
I have registered at your site and it worked

You can check

Members Loop

It has explained how to modify loop filtering by Xprofile fields

Yes that sounds about right, the page is doing a loop printing out the profile fields, so you could add an if statement dependent on the field name.

if ( 'Name' == bp_get_the_profile_field_name() ) {
    //insert label
}

I don’t think I can advise you. BuddyPress does not some built in with a personal description. You can add one, in Dashboard>>Users>>Profile Fields, and it would be displayed during signup and in the users Profile>>View page. However, that’s not the default landing page for a profile, so it looks like your theme is overloading the users profile, and I think your theme developers would be best placed to ask.

@erictracz BuddyPress will also be ready with GDPR compliance in coming updates.
There is an ongoing discussion about it.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7698

For 3rd party plugin concern, Site owners are ultimately responsible for the all the plugins they are using at their site, and they also have to understand the functionality of each plugin including their data collection and storage methods before using them.

Regarding 3rd party BuddyPress developers, after BuddyPress GDPR compliance release they can update their plugins to hook all user specific data at BuddyPress option which allow users to delete themselves.

@hdcms You can create a profile fields with terms & condition or take a look at https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-terms-and-conditions-for-buddypress/ plugin.

Thanks @venutius.

I’m actually using Paid Memberships Pro plugin for my memberships management and they just recently released a BP integration which takes care of the xprofile fields plugin problem as I was told by one of their tech support. It is better installed when you just create your site as they still have to create syncing issues between their fields and regular old xprofile fields for older members – currently this syncing is not available but will be. So as a result I will have to manually move the data over from the members prior to using their integration (about 200 people but it’s doable) . I’m waiting for the code to be installed on my site by their tech support to do this.

But if anyone is interested, they should check out PMPro for managing bp or other memberships, it really is great and it’s always supported. I am using the Pro version which is expensive per year however you get great tech support and they will go into your site to modify things and help you install various add ons and integrations. This BP integration plugin is available in free version too I believe. If you have a serious memberships site where you do or intent do make money, it’s worth to pay for the yearly fee though for support and access to more add ons.

I’ve tried other membership plugins and just wasn’t working for me.

Hopefully the old xprofile fields plugin can be cloned by someone for those who are not going to use PMpro. It’s odd that there are not many options for this plugin and it’s not supported as it’s very essential.

Here’s PMPro info:

Paid Memberships Pro

The integration plugin below, you need the above memberships plugin installed though:

Paid Memberships Pro – BuddyPress Add On

add_action(‘bp_after_profile_edit_content’,’edit_appointment_settings_xprofile’);

// Displays Editable Fields for Appointments+ email and phone
function edit_appointment_settings_xprofile(){
// Only Logged in users can make these edits
$profileuser = wp_get_current_user();

?>
<h3><?php _e(“Appointments+ Settings”, ‘appointments’); ?></h3>
<form method=”post” action =” “id=”appointment-edit-form” class=”standard-form”>
<table class=”form-table”>
<tr>
<th><label><?php _e(“My email for A+”, ‘appointments’); ?></label></th>
<td>
<input type=”text” style=”width:25em” name=”app_email” value=”<?php echo get_user_meta( $profileuser->ID, ‘app_email’, true ) ?>” <?php echo $is_readonly ?> />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th><label><?php _e(“My Phone”, ‘appointments’); ?></label></th>
<td>
<input type=”text” style=”width:25em” name=”app_phone” value=”<?php echo get_user_meta( $profileuser->ID, ‘app_phone’, true ) ?>”<?php echo $is_readonly ?> />
</td>
</tr>
<input name=”action” type=”hidden” value=”save_xprofile” />
// Add other fields like location etc .. here if needed

</table>
<div class=”submit”>
<input type=”submit” action = “” name=”appointment-edit-form-submit” id=”appointment-edit-form-submit” value=”Save” />
</div>
<?
}

1. take a look at this page, it shows the general principles https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/ also you can look at the BP Template Overloader plugin, it’s designed to make this process more accessible.

Basically you create a buddypress directory in your child theme directory and replicate the directory path to the buddypress/members/register.php file.

Regarding 2, how did you do that? I’ve not got it as an option, I’m aware there’s plugin that added a TOS checkbox, not seen it done directly from the xProfile fields.

But if you did add it as a xProfile field, BP will by default show it in the profile page if the user has set it to publicly visible.

you might like to check out that plugin, I don’t think it uses xProfile fields: BuddyPress Simple Terms And Conditions

1. One way to achieve this would be to overload the BuddyPress register page and replace the current section that adds the username with code that populates this field from the username field.

2. Not sure about that one, I take it this is being added by a plugin? if it’s creating an xprofile field then by default it will show up in profile, unless set to not be shown by the user. There’s a couple of options I think, either add some code to force this to not be displayed or else overload the profile page and set it up to display the profile fields you want to display.
