No plugin but its a good idea. You would have to code this yourself. If you know php it’s not terribly hard to add this feature.

I used PHP MyAdmin to export the table containing the field data – modified it to include the list of countries in excel and then imported it back into the original table checking the option to replace the existing data.

Method
1. Create a dummy form field to get the format
Create a profile filed called Country as a dropdown select box.
Add a few options to the list e.g. Enter Your Country (this will be the default), Afghanistan, Aland Islands
Save and close the profile form editor
2. Export the field data to Excel
Login to PHPMyAdmin (you may need to login to CPanel first if you have a hosted website)
Go to the database and table containing the form data
(e.g. wrdp1>wp_bp_xprofile_fields)
Export the table to Excel CSV format. Check to include the field labels in the header.
3. Modify the data in Excel.
Opening the data in Excel will give you a feel for the layout of the data.
Not the ID number for the options you have entered above.
Copy and paste you list of countries (search on google for a list in excel or CSV format). Then make the data conform EXACTLY to the sample data you entered – making sure that the record ID numbers start from same ID number as your sample (you can delete the sample countries to avoid duplicates). Also ensure the Parent ID is the same as a field record.
Save the data as a CSV file
4. Import into the table
Go back to the table you exported in PHPMyAdmin
Import the CSV file you just modified. Check to replace the table contents. Ignore the first line of data if you have kept the field labels at the top of your file. Check that the record delimiter is a comma.
Now click GO and your data will be imported – Click Browse to check it.
5. Check your profile form
Go back to the profile form editor – your new country field should now be populated by the countries you imported.

This also works for any other dropdown list.

what are you trying to do links inside profile fields should work given proper formatting (including the http://)

I have juste released my own plugin to force profile completion BP Force Profile : https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-force-profile/

Thank you for your help !

you can create type of field you want you are only restricted by the types of entry methods there are.

wp admin Users > Profile fields

Click the field’s ‘edit’ button, and that’s where you change the description.

The email and password fields aren’t BuddyPress user profile fields, so they don’t appear in this screen.

It’s working fine for me. Look in the Profile Fields menu under Users.

No plugin but you can hook into the profile fields save hook and send an email. Google a bit. Im sure this has been posted before

HI, I am a recent transfer website owner from ning.com. I have a community there, and i’m moving this weekend to the WP platform. I have many questions, that I can’t really seem to find the specific answers to. The plug-in that this user spoke of (The features and more) can buddypress really manage a social community like the ning platform, and what about other features? Here’s what the user wrote:

@boonebgorges thanks for your response and plugin link, in terms of functionality it is almost exactly what I need, only:
– Need it to manage users instead of groups
– Need it to show their full profile fields (including xprofile)
– Need options to deactivate(very important) or delete users
– Need function to export list to excel sheet

I need similar functions in a plug-in and need to know whats the BEST plugin or what combination of plug-ins will give me the features for a membership community that I want, members want, and that are essentially need to maintain a viable members community. Here is what I need as far as features and functionality:

-Secured membership registration and login seprate from WP admin. So members CAN’T access the backend of my admin panel.

-After they join they are sent to their members profile page to add a bio, photos, videos, music, etc..and everything post in their profile page, and in the community videos, photos, and music display like on a youtube page or gallery style. I also, need profiles that look more custom instead of simple layouts or designs. This is a BIG problem we had with our ning platform. Wish we could offer up to 6 or more profile page templates for members to choose from, complete with comments and a better layout for uploaded videos, photos, music (In a player on profile.)

-Members display in a four/five accross…four/five down style grid instead of up and down like a list.

-Search for members, based on attributes or career choice or find all member in a certain category.

-Want a upload feature on whatever page or place I designate for members to upload content like videos, music, photos.

-Add paywalls on whatever page I need to, for the purpose of selling premium content to members.

-Add featured profile/members and delete/block members at will.

-Don’t want to use multisite plug in if I don’t half to. Rater not use it.

Any help here, or a push in the right direction with plug-ins for buddypress please let me know. Thanks in advance good people. Blessings.

@James – to add more profile fields to registration, go to your dashboard and under ‘Users’, choose Profile Fields. Add as necessary.

Start with:

<?php $formloop = 0; ?>
<?php if ( bp_is_active( ‘xprofile’ ) ) : if ( bp_has_profile( ) ) : while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>
<?php
if (bp_get_the_profile_group_id() != $formloop) {
$formloop = bp_get_the_profile_group_id();
$newfieldset = TRUE;
?>
<fieldset id="xprofile_<?php echo bp_get_the_profile_group_slug() ?>">
<legend><?php echo bp_get_the_profile_group_name() ?></legend>
<?php
}
?>
<?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?>
<?php$formlist[] = bp_get_the_profile_field_id(); ?>

—– Continue with the form code —-

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php
if ($newfieldset == TRUE) {
$newfieldset = FALSE;
?>
</fieldset>
<?php
}
?>
<?php endwhile; endif; endif; ?>
<input type="hidden" name="signup_profile_field_ids" id="signup_profile_field_ids" value="<?php echo implode(",", $formlist); ?>" />

Finished almost exactly the same requirement for a private community, certain profile fields consist of data needed to be added by the site rather than individual users, so set specific edit profile fields to super_admin only but allowed the public view, then as admin you just need to navigate to the users account and then use the admin links on adminbar to edit users profile.

Users are not a BP managed item, Users belong to WP thus adding new users does not present the same xprofile fields for editing.
