@eli225, please calm down. @sharmavishal is only trying to help you !

It’s not easy trying to help people asking questions without giving much details. It’s the case with this topic and your previous. Have you even read this before asking ?

This is not possible: Buddypress Profiles Display In Wrong Order as it is not BP but the site admin who determines this.

xprofile fields and xprofile field groups (what you call section i suppose ) are drag’n’dropable.

If despite a correct positionning in the backend, the order changed on front-end, two possibilities: the drag’n’drop was to fast or there is a js error/latentency/cookie somewhere. And this is generally due to the theme in conflict with a plugin (which could be BP).

Unfortunately, kleo is a premium theme for which you can’t expect assistance here, as we have no access to it’s code.

For the part related to BuddyPress, note that the actual version works flawlesly with the xprofile component. Nobody related a similar issue to yours recently.

So back to handcrafted annoying but very related questions:
What do you call section ?
Which type of field do you use ?

Also related to general debug work:
Have you tested with another theme ?
Have you tested without any other plugin as BP ?

On a default single install, all users can access their credentials via your-site/wp-admin/profile.php

From there they have access to the WP fieldss and to the extended profil fields.

From there, they can change email & password.

Admitting you closed admin access to all users, the only other way for them to modify there email and password is to use the “forgotten your password ?” at loggin stage.

All this is not really a BP thing, but how WP is working since 2003.
The 3 mandatory field (username, email and password) belonging exclusively to WP. They are showed on registration, ASIDE BuddyPress custom fields. BP doesn’t exactly handle them, it only show them. And as these fieds are WP territory and a bit sensible, they are not accessible from within frontend profile settings.

Guess the word “critical’ is a bit exagerated. Not every user change his mail or password every day. How long do you wait for a new phone number or new electricity supply ? Probably more critical things as a mail/password change !

You’re going into a pretty complicated MySQL query.

$field_id = SELECT id FROM wp_bp_xprofile_fields WHERE name = Profile Field

$users = SELECT DISTINCT user_id FROM wp_bp_xprofile_data WHERE value = enterprise AND field_id = $field_id

Then you’re gonna be implementing a foreach loop in PHP.

That’s the approach I would take, it’s quite in-depth and I’m working on something else at the moment but hopefully that gives you an idea of where to look.

you can sort the order in the wp backend by going to profile fields

@pws2015

assuming your fields names are Address, City and Postal code, add this snippet to bp-custom.php and any logged-in user will see these fields on the Member Directory page underneath the already existing informations.

function bpex_address_on_directory(  ) {	

if( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) && is_user_logged_in() ) :

	echo '<p>';

	if ( $address = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Address', bp_get_member_user_id() ) ) :
		echo $address.'&nbsp;';
	endif;

	if ( $zipcode = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Postal code', bp_get_member_user_id() ) ) :
		echo $zipcode .'&nbsp;';
	endif;

	if ( $city = xprofile_get_field_data( 'City', bp_get_member_user_id() ) ) :
		echo $city .'&nbsp;';
	endif;

	echo '</p>';

endif;

}
add_filter ( 'bp_directory_members_item', 'bpex_address_on_directory' );

As mentioned:

In the WordPress dashboard, find under “Users” a link titled, “Profile Fields” (Users>Profile Fields)

Here you can add profile fields to the signup process,

in your case add address, city and postal code fields

if above is added and you are not able to see then check the visibility of this 3 fields

In the WordPress dashboard, find under “Users” a link titled, “Profile Fields” (Users>Profile Fields)

Here you can add profile fields to the signup process, if you don’t want to add the fields to signup you need to add a new field group.

The field group ‘Base’ is added to signup process

I hope that helps

modifying the general.php template

There is no such template in a standard BP install, afaik.

But there is an easier way to add a field…
Why not add a profile field in the proscribed manner?
In wp-admin, go to Users > Profile Fields and add your field to whichever Group you want.
All fields in the Base Group will appear on the Registration page.

In the WordPress dashboard, find under the Users menu a link titled, “Profile Fields”(Users>Profile Fields)

Once you click on this link, then you can add new fields to the profile by clicking the Add New Field button.

When you’ve added a field to the Base(Primary) field group, then it will appear on your registration pages and user profiles.

Copy the buddypress theme into your WordPress child theme, and then you can modify the register template if needed.

copy the buddypress theme into your child theme by pasting this path into your child theme folder
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress

path of file for registration fields is this:
/wp-content/themes/child-theme/buddypress/members/register.php

Then, add First and Last name fields under User>Profile Links in the WordPress Dashboard.

Currently there is a ‘Name’ field that is required, you can edit it to read ‘First Name’ then add another ‘Last Name’ field..

Then you need to process the data before it saves into the database, I’m kind of at a loss here… I would need more time to brainstorm on it but I did find this hook ‘bp_core_signup_user’

I believe this is the hook you are looking for:

// define the bp_core_signup_user callback 
function action_bp_core_signup_user( $array, $int, $int ) { 
    // make action magic happen here... 
}; 
         
// add the action 
add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'action_bp_core_signup_user', 10, 3 ); 

Hi,

it’s not the solution but an example you can perhaps use.
The snippet handles the object members and sort them by type “contributing”
Replace object by activity and type by “beer” and see what you can do from that.

// add order options to members loop
function ch_member_order_options() {
?>
   <option value="contributing"><?php _e( 'Contributing Members', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
<?php
}
add_action( 'bp_members_directory_order_options', 'ch_member_order_options' );

// filter ajax members by contributing
function ch_filter_ajax_querystring( $querystring = '', $object = '' ) {

	if( $object != 'members' )
		return $querystring;

	$defaults = array(
		'type'            => 'active',
		'action'          => 'active',
		'scope'           => 'all',
		'page'            => 1,
		'user_id'         => 0,
		'search_terms'    => '',
		'exclude'         => false,
	);

	$ch_querystring = wp_parse_args( $querystring, $defaults );

	if( $ch_querystring['type'] == 'contributing' ) {
	
       // grab members by Member Type role declared on xprofile	
	$users = get_users( array( 'fields' => array( 'ID' ), 'role' => 'contributor' ) );
		
		$users_str = '';
		foreach ( $users as $user ) {
				 $users_str .=  $user->ID . ',';
			}
		$users_str = rtrim($users_str, ",");

		$ch_querystring['include'] = $users_str; 
		$ch_querystring['type'] = 'alphabetical'; 
		
		return $ch_querystring;
		
	}	
	
	else
		return $querystring;
			
}
add_filter( 'bp_ajax_querystring', 'ch_filter_ajax_querystring', 20, 2 );

Members Loop

Member Types

It’s not a duplicate, but how it works.
On the left, you have the WP field for “username”, on the right BP’s mandatory field “name”. Both are used for registering a new user. WP’s username field accept only lower case alphanumerics without space. Mostly used to enter a pseudonym. BP’s field accept uppercase and space or even carets, wich allows to enter first and last name for example.

Note that you’re not obligated to enter a first and last name. If you rename Name to City or Gender, a user must enter a city name or his gender. Eg. username: johnrobertsonquid | city: Los Angeles or username: johnrobertsonquid | gender: male

But whatever the field may contain, it cannot be removed.

About xprofile fields:

User Extended Profiles

I’m unable to reproce this issue.

Check following tables for duplicate entries in DB
wp_bp_xprofile_fields and wp_bp_xprofile_groups (wp is the table prefix; could be different on your install)

Provide the list of used & activated plugins.

Did you found a similar issue mentionned on Salutation support ?
Note that it’s a premium theme for which we can’t assist you, as we have no access to it’s code or support.

To show xprofile fields, you could do this:

// add the custom column header
function philopress_modify_user_columns($column_headers) {

        $column_headers['extended'] = 'Meta Fields';
  
        return $column_headers;
}
add_action('manage_users_page_bp-signups_columns','philopress_modify_user_columns');

// dump all the pending user's meta data in the custom column
function philopress_signup_custom_column( $str, $column_name, $signup_object ) {

	if ( $column_name == 'extended' ) 
             return print_r( $signup_object->meta, true );

        return $str;
}
add_filter( 'bp_members_signup_custom_column', 'philopress_signup_custom_column', 1, 3 );

If you only want to show specific meta fields, you need to know the field id(s).
Then you could do this:
return $signup_object->meta['field_4472'];

Bump on this, having the same issue. Trying to see registration fields (mainly the gravatar) as well as some xprofile fields (file uploads) before activating them.
