@flashvilla, hope this helps:

I’m using Gravity Forms to display a contact form on each member profile page and dynamically populating a hidden field with the member’s email address.

Here’s info on dynamically populating a field in GF

Their example:

add_filter( 'gform_field_value_your_parameter', 'my_custom_population_function' );
function my_custom_population_function( $value ) {
    return 'boom!';
}

I have changed this to:

add_filter('gform_field_value_bp_member_email', 'bp_member_email');
function bp_member_email($value){
  return bp_get_displayed_user_email();
}

In Gravityforms, I have then created a hidden field and in the advanced tab of that field, checked “Allow field to be populated dynamically” and entered the “Parameter Name:” as “bp_member_email”

Then, in the notifications, the “Send to Email” should be changed from a standard email to a Gravityform tag. You can get that by clicking the little arrow key beside many fields such as “From Name” box. Find the name of your hidden field and click that. It should give you something like this: {BP Member Email:7} where “BP Member Email” is the name I gave the hidden field – yours will be whatever you named it.

You’ll also need to embed the form to your child theme: /themes/yourchildtheme/buddypress/members/single/home.php

Details on how to embed into your theme can be found here. Example: (where 1 is the ID of your form and 12 is the starting tabindex)

<?php gravity_form(1, false, false, false, '', true, 12); ?>

If this worked, you can view the source code of the member page and you’ll see the member’s email as an input value in the hidden field.

Hope this helps!

Please note: if you can’t have the person’s email displayed publicly in the source code for privacy (even though it’s not visible on the site), you will need an alternative method. Members on my site all have their emails visible so it’s not an issue for me.

Note some steps could be missing here but hope this helps with the general direction 🙂

1. Look for “Users” in left sidebar of WordPress wp-admin area
2. Click “Profile Fields” and there should be a box which you might have named “Terms of Use” – NOTE: if you changed the “Name (Primary) (Required)” to your terms of use field, you should change this back as it syncs with the person’s name
3. Click the blue button “Add New Field” and name it “By registering to ThoseCrazyVegans.net, you agree to the <a href="/terms-of-use/">Terms of Use</a>” (the title accepts HTML at least for now)
4. Then, choose “Checkboxes” for the “Type” below it and type “Yes, I agree to the terms of use” and don’t check Default Value
5. You can also choose “requirement” as required
6. Choose “enforce field visibility”
7. Then click update

I use a different method for registering but hope this helps.

Actually, ‘Admin’, ‘Everyone (Admin Editable)’ and ‘Only Me (Admin Editable)’ are not part of BuddyPress and are added by the plugin.

If you use the plugin and set the field visibility to ‘Only Me (Admin Editable)’ then the field will only be visible to the user and the Admin. You could also use the ‘Admin’ settings to, for example, add notes about the user that the user can’t see.

The plugin initially sets the admin to be the main admin account, but it gives this code snippet in its FAQs to enable you to set the capability required, so editors can also see the field:

function custom_profile_fields_visibility() {
      return ‘edit_others_posts’; // Editors
}
add_filter( ‘bp_admin_only_profile_fields_cap’, ‘custom_profile_fields_visibility’ );

I use the #1 selling wordpress theme Newspaper by tagdiv, and it’s mainly the User Profile & Registration page that can use some tweaking. Also I wish there was a way or easy way to add more user fields to the Member Directory – like a responsive and sortable table format.

I appreciate the work that is put in to Buddy Press, the versatility of it, and that it’s a free plugin, but I think it is being short-changed by not having a premium version that can make it look ‘prettier’. Not sure who’s in charge of the business operations, but should consider a premium add-on for UI/UX. People really would pay for it. Look at Ultimate Member. Buddy Press has a leg-up on them because you have more scale-ability with all the 3rd party add-ons, better performance, and larger user base.

I have had to paid a php guy to customize it, but I need more customizations. This is the only plugin stopping my site from blowing up. Do any of you BPers do custom work? I’ll pay for any custom work to get the layout moved around on User Profile (https://ibb.co/gNat1v) + sortable table Member Directory.

I’d go with Ultimate Member for looks alone, but it slows the crap out of my site and it doesn’t have some of the BP add-ons I want. If Buddy Press looked like UM or BuddyBoss, but kept the drop down menu user section (like Twitter), I’d be your first paying customer.

Hi. If it still an issue , I d recommend you to look at bp-xprofile-settings.php

function bp_xprofile_get_settings_fields( $args = '' ) {
  //if u have ome custom user roles  you can simply filter here which groups to hide  
    if(!current_user_can("owner")){
        $query='5,6,4';
    }else{
        $query='1,3,4,5';
    }
	// Parse the possible arguments.
	$r = bp_parse_args( $args, array(
		'user_id'                => bp_displayed_user_id(),
		'profile_group_id'       => false,
		'hide_empty_groups'      => false,
		'hide_empty_fields'      => false,
		'fetch_fields'           => true,
		'fetch_field_data'       => false,
		'fetch_visibility_level' => true,
		'exclude_groups'         => $query,
		'exclude_fields'         => false
	), 'xprofile_get_settings_fields' );

	return bp_has_profile( $r );
}

Try this plugin. It hasn’t been updated for 2 years, but it works perfectly for me.

BuddyPress Admin Only Profile Fields

Adds these options to the visibility options: ‘Admin’, ‘Everyone (Admin Editable)’ and ‘Only Me (Admin Editable)’

Hope that helps

Do you know if in DB all these fields are one long string?
I’m looking for same thing, but I want to search by several fields (BP profile search) and I don’t see how it works with it.

This only takes effect for other created profile fields, not the “Name” field.

Try creating a new profile field and then you should be able to access the options you are looking for.

Hi, you can rename it.
Go to Users=>Profile Fields=>Edit Group.

Hi @dave8528
