There is a display:none; in the inline styling. Have you figured out how to resolve the issue? I am having the same issue.

@hiboy
Easy fix so don’t panic. Go into your server and rename that plugin. I always append it with 2 capital X’s to the beginning of the plugin name which will deactivate the plugin it can be anything it is just a habit for me.
In your example change the folder containing the plugins name from:
buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type
TO:
XXbuddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type
You can then get back into your site and the plugin will be deactivated and you can delete it via the dashboard if you choose.

I want to know this too.
Would be nice if there would be check marks in the WP User Admin to select which user meta would also appear in BP Profile.
Vice-versa, if custom profile fields made in BP could then appear in WP Admin.

This type of syncing seems necessary as WPSocialLogin populates useful info into the User WP Admin but there is no easy way to now get those WP User Admin fields into the BP Profile. (and I’m sure other plugin that are design to work with WP Admin don’t populate BP profiles). Seems like this “complete” syncing does not exist.

@filipmedia it’s got to do with the page template you are using. Your BuddyPress Register page should have the HTML structure of your site’s regular Pages like http://www.geek.hr/suradnja/ but it’s not so. The Register page is within the #footer div when it should be in the #content div. Are you using a Page Template instead of the default page.php for your register page?

Change to Twenty Twelve theme to see how Register page should look like per xProfile fields/groups you added for your community.

function show_xprofile_fields ( $user ) { 

 $field_value = xprofile_get_field_data( 'x', $user->ID, $multi_format = 'comma' );
 echo "x: " . $field_value . '<br />'.
 $field_value = xprofile_get_field_data( 'y', $user->ID, $multi_format = 'comma' );
 echo "y: " . $field_value . '<br />'.
}
add_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'show_xprofile_fields' );

so would that look like this:

function show_xprofile_fields ( $user ) { 

$field_value = xprofile_get_field_data( 'x,y', $user->ID, $multi_format = 'comma' );

}
add_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'show_xprofile_fields' );

where x and y are my field names? thanks & sorry i don’t jack when it comes to php.

not at all 🙂

you have to put the full url with http:// and all that

Search trac for tickets on the subject I reported on one issue ages back with select options.

As far as I’m aware the ‘default’ in select terms simply means that which appears first or would be selection if simply returned, possibly this needs looking at for checkboxes, but as for behaviour I would expect the intial value to be false or 0 these are profile fields for users to set not you if that makes sense, and on that note really and truly you shouldn’t opt people in nothing more annoying than being auto opted in and somewhat frowned upon correct way is let people choose to opt in to emails / newsletters

@bobsd99
Your right, in my test it does not show up either. I believe this is a known bug for xprofile fields for logged out users. Maybe @hnla or @mercime can shed some more light of whether a trac ticket has been submitted on this issue.

@nanaimomen

It’s easy to display profile fields in the Dashboard.

For example:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16485925/extra-profile-field-not-showing-in-wordpress-user-profile/16491050#16491050

Editing the fields on that screen requires additional custom work.
If that is something you need, please go to

@nanaimomen
That is standard behavior. To look or edit their profile fields you would have to be an admin and do it from the front end. Go to the members page, click on the member and note how the toolbar changes to give the admin options.

That is strange and not default BP behavior so you need to supply more info on your setup. I see you have already stated using BP 1.7.1 so what version of WP? What plugins and theme are you using? Have you tried the basic troubleshooting procedures by deactivating all plugins other that BP and reverting to bp-default or twenty twelve theme to see if the same issue persists?

@smartmwp
By default new users are set to subscriber’s so why did you have to set it?
Is the profile fields you want for registration placed in the base profile which shows up automatically on registration? If you added those fields to a new field group which is secondary then it only shows after the user has activated and logged in to their account and go’s to edit their profile in this secondary field you may have created.

@ebraxton30 know that we are all volunteers here living in different time zones.
What have you done so far to troubleshoot the problem? Have you checked whether your theme has been updated for BP 1.7+? Did you change to Twenty Twelve theme or the BP Default theme to see if issue is the same or resolved? Or possibly checking if it’s a plugin conflict?

the test profiles are working. Just not the ones filled in.

Not quite sure what you mean. Filled in profile fields are not showing up? Site url?

These plugins should help 😉

This one is used for members to choose the group they want on registration.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-roles-at-registration/

This plugin assigns specific profile groups to the roles you want.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-xprofiles-acl/

These both work great together, and I am using them on the most recent WordPress and BuddyPress versions.

If you only want urls you can use profile fields then pull each through to show where you want on the profile.

Once you’ve set up the profile fields in your admin dashboard you can then output like this:

<?php bp_profile_field_data( array('user_id'=>$user_id,'field'=>'twitter' )); ?>

This assumes a profile field called Twitter. You may have to set the $user_id depending on if you are outputting on profile or somewhere else.

Should you want to use different types of fields such as date pickers and so on you can use: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/
