BuddyPress.org

@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.

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.

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/

For the sake of convenience I made a super light weight plugin wrapped in a class that may enable you to use the Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type plugin along with the plugin I made to get rid of the profile links. Give it a try and give some feedback if this resolves the conflict! Get the plugin here:
https://github.com/bphelp/bp-remove-profile-links

@bphelp

I ended up not using the plugin, however, I did make a post in their support forum asking them to resolve it. It seemed like the default profile fields sufficed for me anyway.

Thank you for your help!

@bphelp

It’s funny, but the plugin used to creat the custom fields Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type 1.5.5.5 is what is causing the links to appear. I’m very confused as to what to do. I disabled all plugins and the current theme, and the links didn’t appear, however, as soon as I re-enabled the Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type 1.5.5.5, then the links appear.

What should I do now please 🙁
