BuddyPress.org

You can update a field with this function

xprofile_set_field_data( $field, $user_id, $value, $is_required = false )

$fields = field id
$user_id = current login user id
$value = inserted value
$is_required = boolean

Hook your function to

do_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', $user_id, $key, $user )

BuddyPress users are the same as WordPress so you can create a user using https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_create_user

To set profile fields data:

xprofile_set_field_data( $field, $user_id, $value, $is_required = false )

$fields = field id

$user_id = current login user id

$value = inserted value

$is_required = boolean

BuddyPress searches username and profile fields to find a member. You would need to develop a custom solution for this. Is this requirement for site admins? If so, you can find members by id in the admin -> Users menu item.

Any profile fields you create in the admin that are in the first section are automatically added to the registration form.

User Extended Profiles

This doesn’t happen for me. When I set the page “Register” to a static front page, I can still see custom profile fields in the sign up form. Can you post some details about your set up?

• Theme
• Plugins active
• Do you use custom code snippets in bp-custom.php or functions.php?
• etc

I still can’t get it to work. I do have header images enabled so I edited this file:

buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\cover-image-header.php

as follows:

<?php

				 /**
				  * Fires after the group header actions section.
				  *
				  * If you'd like to show specific profile fields here use:
				  * bp_member_profile_data( 'field=About Me' ); -- Pass the name of the field
				  *
				  * @since 1.2.0
				  */
		

bp_member_profile_data( 'field=city' );
bp_member_profile_data( 'field=state' );

		 do_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta' );

				 ?>

			</div>

I tried this and it isn’t showing up on profile pages:

<?php do_action( 'bp_member_header_actions' ); ?>

		</div><!-- #item-buttons -->

		<?php
		/***
		 * If you'd like to show specific profile fields here use:
		 * bp_member_profile_data( 'field=About Me' ); -- Pass the name of the field
		 */

bp_member_profile_data( 'field=city' );
bp_member_profile_data( 'field=state' );

		 do_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta' );

		 ?>

I’m sorry, but where exactly in that code would I enter that? Like this?

<?php
/***
* If you’d like to show specific profile fields here use:
* bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=About Me’ ); — Pass the name of the field
*/
do_action( ‘bp_profile_header_meta’ );

bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=City’ );
bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=State’ );

?>

You have identified the correct code location:

Assuming your field names are City and State, try:

bp_member_profile_data( 'field=City' );
bp_member_profile_data( 'field=State' );

If you need to do some formatting or add text or check for empty fields, use:

$city = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=City' );
echo $city;

Hi @ch1n3s3b0y @jokyfoot @ksimpson1986 @ksimpson1986 ,

I think I found something something close.

A free plugin called ‘Conditional Profile Fields for BuddyPress’ on buddydev.com/
It allows you to set conditions for profile field so each user has a different set of fields based on their previous answer or input.

Plugin Link: http://buddydev.com/plugins/conditional-profile-fields-for-buddypress/

It does it by hiding or showing fields based on specific answer given. The great thing here is that you now have to use just one dynamic registration form for all user types or groups.

Use this tutorial for a better understanding how the plugin works http://wptavern.com/new-plugin-adds-conditional-profile-fields-to-buddypress/

I hope it helps.

The second ask — i can’t usefully contribute!

for the first ask

Assuming your new user fills in her/his profile fields on registration

Something like the following MIGHT work.

On FIRST login a user is redirected to say .$user -> user_login.’/profile/change-avatar/’;

then add something like this to the functions.php file of your theme

function alaiam(){

global $current_user, $wpdb, $bp;

get_currentuserinfo();

$user_id = get_current_user_id();

$firstname = xprofile_get_field_data( "First Name" ,$user_id);
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'first_name', $firstname);

$lastname = xprofile_get_field_data( "Last Name" ,$user_id);
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'last_name',$lastname);

$gender= xprofile_get_field_data( "Gender" ,$user_id);
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'gender',$gender);

$xdob= xprofile_get_field_data( "Date of Birth" ,$user_id);
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'dob',$xdob);

/*and so on.........*/

add_action('bp_before_profile_avatar_upload_content', 'alaiam', 10, 0);

Hi,

If you’re referring to the profile page of a member, the function <?php bp_user_firstname(); ?> may work for you. Just add it into the file creating the page title within the H1 tags.

Or if you created profile fields in your WP Dashboard > Users > Profile field, then another option might be to use: <?php bp_member_profile_data ( 'field=First Name' ); ?>. Change the First Name text to whatever you called the field for the user’s first name.

Hello, I had this same problem and this is how I fixed it. It was mentioned in this thread
(https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bad-link-to-profile-edit/)
that there may be a problem in the database table “wp_bp_xprofile_groups”. For some reason the first item id there is not “1” but something else. As you change the id to 1, everything works. Then it also shows the Profile details side Name field (required) in the registration page.

Also there was a problem to edit profile, it went to “Page not found”. This gets fixed also now, now you can edit the fields.

This seems to be some kind of bug in the installing process in some circumstances. I tested this by removing the BuddyPress and also deleting the BuddyPress database tables. They must be deleted manually, they wont get out by deleting the plugin.

New installation put the first id number to “3” to “wp_bp_xprofile_groups” table. Even the group_id in the table “wp_bp_xprofile_fields” was “1” (after I activated some components in BuddyPress menu, before that the tables were empty) for the first field item. So now the field item and the group item never matched.

Hopefully this helps someone. It seems that there are a lot of discussion of this problem, and this is a very annoying problem if you are really using BuddyPress.

Basically the registering had a workaround for example by using plugin “Theme my login”. The registering also looks simpler as there is not that “extra” name field. It is however unknown how BuddyPress works without that name field. Well, but perhaps that is an another story.

Did you create the phone & address fields via wp-admin > Users > Profile Fields?

BP stores profile data in a table called {your table prefix as set in wp-config}_bp_xprofile_data.
So you need to write those fields to that table.

Unless somebody here has used Form Maker, it is doubtful that you will get a detailed answer.

Please use the code button when sharing code.

The fields field_id and field_value do not exist in the function you are attempting to filter.
See this for accepted fields:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.2.1/src/bp-members/bp-members-template.php#L453

I think you want this field retval['include'].

Something like:

function see_woman_gender( $retval ) {
	global $wpdb;

	$field_id = 3;
	$field_value = 'Woman';
	
	$query = "SELECT user_id FROM " . $wpdb->prefix . "bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = " . $field_id . ' AND field_value = ' . $field_value;

	$woman_ids = $wpdb->get_col( $query );
  
	if ( !empty( $woman_ids ) ) 
		$retval['include'] = $woman_ids;

	return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_members_parse_args', 'see_woman_gender' );

There are field re meta data; I don’t think they work with profile data.
But you could try this and let us know if it works:

function see_woman_gender( $retval ) {
     $retval['meta_key'] = '3';
     $retval['meta_value'] = 'Woman';
 
    return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_members_parse_args', 'see_woman_gender' );

You’ll need to be able to write and debug code.

You can create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\profile\profile-loop.php

Set a variable with the current user role. Google how to get that value.

Then create an array of profile field ids for a role.
For example :

if ( $current_role == 'model' )
    $show_fields = array( 1, 5, 23 ); 
elseif( $current_role == 'photographer' ) 
    $show_fields = array( 1, 7, 12, 35 );

Then check if the current profile field is in that array.
Something like:

<?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?>

	<?php if ( in_array( bp_get_the_profile_field_id(), $show_fields ) ) : ?>
	
		<?php if ( bp_field_has_data() ) : ?>
	
			<tr<?php bp_field_css_class(); ?>>
	
				<td class="label"><?php bp_the_profile_field_name(); ?></td>
	
				<td class="data"><?php bp_the_profile_field_value(); ?></td>
	
			</tr>
	
		<?php endif; ?>
		
	<?php endif; ?>

Avoid setting any fields to ‘required’ if you’re only going to show them based on role.
