@paralys there’s no plugin which would implement the synchronization of the BP xProfile fields and the WP User Profiles in the backend. Either you need to hire a developer to create this plugin for you, create it yourself or wait for someone to create one and release it to the public.

Hi @samgeppi108,

wow what a video you did for such a common issue. PBCAK ! Sorry to say that, this IS working but you haven’t completely set up the right component (profile).

Now the good news. Take a breath man, you’re saved ! In 5 mn you can start your community 😀

Connect to the WP admin as super-admin. Click on Users on the left col, and select Profile configuration from the sub-menu.

This will open a window where you have by default only one group of fields named BASE. This group is the one showed by default on the register page, so new user can enter some information such as their name, and anything else you want to have in that place.

If you prefer to let them complete their profile skills after registering, you should create a second group of fields on the previous mentionned setting page. You cal add as many groups you want, with as many fields and type of fields you need.

Once done and saved, connect you as a normal user and go to the profile profile setting tab. You will see 2 tabs. Name and X, you just created. You can fill in the fields and save.
If you go on the profile tab, anything will be on !

Read here the documentation:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/ Users>profile fields

Keep the Codex in mind, because it’s the first place to go before coming up here to claim “it doesn’t work !” 😉 It does !

The way to do this would be to wrap info fields in conditional statements like this

if member type is X then
    // display info field

hi thanks @shanebp i am really biggner for my self i did what you said but matter is when i tried but never got result kindly check my code tell me i already spend 4 days.

<?php
global $wpdb, $bp;
$result = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT user_id FROM wp_bp_xprofile_data WHERE value = ‘$_POST[language]’ OR value = ‘$_POST[budget]’ OR value = ‘$_POST[style]’LIMIT 0 , 30”);
print_r($result);
$result = array();
//$values = maybe_unserialize($result);
//echo var_dump( maybe_unserialize( $result ) );
//$values = $result;
//$value = bp_unserialize_profile_user_id( $values );
//$values = implode( “, “, $value);
//echo $values;
//print_r($values);
//so you have to ‘manually’ unserialize them
foreach($result as $user_id=>%d)
{
echo “Key=” . $user_id . “, Value=” . %d;
echo “<br>”;
}
//$values_str = implode( ‘,’, $getty );
//print_r($values_str);

//)

echo $get_these_members;
$get_these_members = ‘include=’ . substr($get_these_members, 0, -1);

?>

This is working fine: SOLVED: Limit Members Loop by Profile Fields

The only way I know how to hide it currently is through css. BP will give your sub group a class name based on what you sub group is called. For example, my sub group is About Me. The class name is about-me.

To make sure you are getting the right class name I suggest you use Firefox firebug or chromes built in element inspector. You should also see another class name of bg-widget when using either tool.

To make the css specific for that particular snippet all you need to do in your Themes or BuddyPress child themes style.css

.bp-widget.about-me{
    display: none;
}

This will hide the whole sub group when someone is viewing the profile. It makes sure it has both class names before making it no longer display so the user can still see it when editing their profile.

If you want to only get rid of specific rows that contain this information then BP still has you covered. They also make a class based on your input field name. Using Facebook as an example again the class is field_facebook. To be as specific as possible without going too overboard in your Themes or BuddyPress child themes style.css put in

table.profile-fields tr.field_facebook{
   display:none;
}

This will only get rid of the one row, however, there is a caveat. If you alternate colors between rows it will still count the hidden field. I suggest that if you are going to use this make sure that the fields are at the bottom of the group so they no longer break flowof alternating colors.

If you want to do multiple fields just seperate them via a comma as shown below

table.profile-fields tr.field_facebook,
table.profile-fields tr.field_twiitter{
   display:none;
}

Now, that your code makes it possible to show icons in my profile header, is there a way to hide the profile group that helds my input fields? Main reason is, that my youtube and twitter links won’t show in the fieldgroup as a result of the use of a snippet to use oembed-code in my profiles.

BuddyNotes

I don’t know if there’s a way to do it natively in BuddyPress (I’m new here), but s2member can be used to create additional member fields that are only accessible to administrators, and I expect there are other plugins that offer similar functionality.

Visibility checks are not done when profile data is retrieved ‘outside’ BP_XProfile_Group.

You can use bp_xprofile_get_hidden_fields_for_user() to do your own check.

It is reasonable to expect bp_member_profile_data() to include an argument re visibility check.

So it’s not a bug, but you can create an enhancement request ticket on trac.

Same issue (details below)

In this file {themename}\members\single\member-header.php, is the following code:

		<?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' );

		 ?>

I have some custom profile fields, so I replaced the ‘do_action’ with these:

		<h3>About Me<h3>
		<?php bp_member_profile_data( 'field=About' ); ?>

		<h3>Birthday</h3>
		<?php bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Birthday' ); ?>

When I click on the Edit Profile link, I can change visibility settings, and it appears to save them. BUT the saved settings don’t do anything. In another browser where I’m not logged in at all, I can always see all of the fields listed, no matter which settings were chosen.

Advice?

Another approach might be to “fake” those dynamically created fields. Upon saving them, simply collect all data entered and save it into 1 field. When displaying the profile, extract this data into the according amount of input fields.

@shaungreen
I am not sure I am following you but if you deactivated that plugin and a new user can register and activate an account and login successfully then this is not a BP or bbPress issue. It needs to be taken up on that plugins support forum if you insist on using this plugin. Otherwise you may want to look into alternatives! I have used:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-force-profile/
It forces a user to complete the required xprofile fields before they can interact with the site and seem like a good deterrent against spam registrations.

I would like to create a section where people can sign in and answer questions and add their image and then have people see their answers.

@cortttt Sure. Use BuddyPress Extended Profile Fields to highlight the best of your community https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/
Make sure that Extended Profiles is checked in wp-admin Settings > BuddyPress > Components

At the top of the sections would be a running total…total years lost to illness

Check out https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/ and then customize the plugin to include the running total years lost to illness or use/rename birthday field

@shanebp good shout!

Don’t initialize $i as a string if you’re going to use it as an integer.

if ( $items = bp_get_profile_field_data( array( 'field' => 'Budget' ) ) ) {
    $i = 0;
    foreach ( $items as $item ) { ?>
        <div id="size-<?php echo ++$i; ?>">
        <?php echo $item; ?>
        </div>
    <?php }
}

Ah I see what you’re trying to do.

$i = '1';
if ( $items = bp_get_profile_field_data( array( 'field' => 'Budget' ) ) ) {
    foreach ( $items as $item ) { ?>
        <div id="<?php echo 'size-' . $i; ?>">
        <?php echo $item; ?>
        </div>
        <?php $i++; ?>
    <?php }
}
