BuddyPress.org

Since this is months old, I’ve already settled back then with the plugin “BuddyPress to WordPress Full Sync” which allows me to sync any arbitary xProfile fields to WordPress fields.

@imath I can confirm by now this works as expected when following your steps. Without being able to verify anymore what my problem was back then, I have a feeling this must have been related to validation as sometimes BuddyPress provides zero feedback when something was wrong. In my current WordPress version (5.8.3), the Twitter field is expected to be a simple username (not full URL / @), other fields like Instagram are expected to be the full URL. So perhaps the issue was that some fields didn’t match validation criteria, so BuddyPress just silently swallowed the input?

Cheers

Thanks for the input. I was hoping to catch extended profile meta at time of registration, but it turns out that the insert_user_meta filter fires too soon…

Do you know of a good way to capture extended profile meta at user registration? (assuming they entered it at registration, of course).

`add_filter(‘insert_user_meta’,’send_user_data’,100,4);

function send_user_data($meta,$user,$update,$userdata){
$user_id = $userdata[‘ID’];
$phone_number = strip_tags( xprofile_get_field_data ($user_id, ’11’,’string’) );

$ch = curl_init();

$user_payload = array (
‘id’ => $user_id,
‘phone’ => $phone_number,
);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,”https://myurl.m.pipedream.net”);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $user_payload);

// In real life you should use something like:
// curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
// http_build_query(array(‘postvar1’ => ‘value1’)));

// Receive server response …
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$server_output = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close ($ch);

return $meta;
return $user;
return $update;
return $userdata;

};

I was going to try and play around myself and see if I could add some features I wanted… but after installing Buddy Press and the X custom fields plug in, I don’t get the Users > Profile Fields option in the Dashboard. I’m completely befuddled as to why I can’t find it…

With it being a multisite configuration, there are a lot of instances of xprofile_fields –Any tricks to mapping the db prefix to particular subsites of the multisite?

No additional plugins or code for the profile fields. I’ve been checking all the places I know for customizing the registration page, all the customizations I’ve found are in the custom theme (which are ruled out given that the issue occurs when using 2021 default theme).
1) Is there anywhere else to look?
2) Could the problem be in the database, from some historical event– could I edit them out there? or
3) Is there a way to prevent the profile fields from showing during registration?

The duplicate fields still occur with WP theme 2021, as well as with the captcha plugin deactivated.
I do not see the duplicate fields in Profile>Edit on the front end.
