Any field you add on the first group (as seen above) will show up in registration page. If you “Add a New Profile Field Group”, any field you add in this new group will not be shown in registration but in member’s profile page after logging in.

I am just learning MultiSite WordPress myself. So far I’ve learned that if I want to edit Templates or Plugins pages for another site, I first have to activate the Theme I want to make changes to as my first level site, the Admin Site, or Edit the Plugin via the Admin site. Then, I go under the Main/Admin Site and edit the Templates or Plugin. After I have everything looking good, then I activate the Theme or Plugin for the actual site where I want to use the Template or Plugin. One must use this method (based on my learning) if one wants to use an external Editor, such as Dreamweaver.

I did notice that the access to the Activity, Sites, Forums, et al only show up in WordPress’s Tool Bar (the dark gray bar at the top of the page) under my Profile Link on the far right, when I am Logged In. I think this part is not clear in the directions, imo. After the initial install of BuddyPress MultiSite, I was able to see a couple of the BuddyPress pages links in the Main Menu of my top Site only after I am logged in.

Since I know I want to edit my Theme for one of the Sites, I have not enabled the separate tables for the additional site. I am going to edit the Theme first and then enable the other sites using the method described at this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/using-multisite-with-buddypress/segregated-x-profile-fields-for-multisite/ .

Is the server running on object or page caching? If you aren’t sure, are you running W3 Total Cache or any other caching plugins and what the settings are?

I am assuming that error in your post is recent. It’s saying that a database table mydb_ivdb4wp.pd doesn’t exist. “mydb_ivdb4wp” is your database name. Where you have the part “LEFT JOIN pd”, it should look like this:

“LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd” (the middle part is replace by the name of an xprofile database table).

Now to figure out why. If you look in your database, do you have these tables? wp_bp_xprofile_data, wp_bp_xprofile_fields, wp_bp_xprofile_groups, wp_bp_xprofile_meta ?

You’re very welcome!

Your problem sounds interesting. You could either build your own query / cache / template functions and display it in the bottom of the profile table, or sync that external content into BP’s profile fields database tables.

Looks like we are still waiting on this issue, there is another post here that I started:

Obviously this is a repeatable bug in buddypress..

I wouldn’t mess with a plugins code but work around it. You could write a function to redirect user to profile edit page if certain fields are not entered in the profile edit form.

The default BuddyPress search searches profiles based on profile fields

Hi All,

I used WP-FB-Autoconnect plugin. It works well if any existing user logs in using FB credentials. But, it is not stopping unregistered users from logging in. Ideally, it should direct the unregistered users to the registration page for them to fill some profile fields. Is there any way I could stop unregistered users from logging in using WP-FB-Autoconnect plugin? and also to redirect the unregistered users to the registration page.? Please help.

Also, is there any better free plugin that handles registration and login effectively? I am looking for FB login/register functionality something similar to the one in Pinterest..

@ashraf something’s getting lost in translation. Are you asking how to add profile fields (https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#users-profile-fields) and/or asking for a demo site which allows you to add profile fields (none public that I know of) ?

Yes, you can do this, but you need to write PHP code.

Have a look at some of the actions that are invoked when profile fields are saved, and hook on to those. It’s a little complicated because you aren’t told which fields have changed (just field groups), so you’ll probably also have to maintain previous value and compare to latest.

I think here is a good solution,

I am answering what you’ve stated in “I would like for a login to not use the admin bar and it all be a front end deal.”

As for registration, Paul asked you what you needed that was not already in BuddyPress, where by default, you can create xprofile fields in base (primary group) which users can fill up during registration. Then you could create a new profile group and fill it up with fields which users can fill up after they have registered.

== I get the normal wordpress user profile editable fields? ==

If you mean the first and last names in wp-admin user settings, then you have to create a script to call those as BP xprofile fields has its own settings. Otherwise, you can create First Name field and Last Name field in User > Profiles panel https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#users-profile-fields

Yes, you could create this but it would require custom coding. Great idea for using BP. The profile fields can be set up for the required info. The emailing members part is where the custom coding would come into play. You can use WP-Cron to find members with a profile field set to stolen and then execute a notification which will result in an email.

You can create a select menu but you have to enter options on field creation. No way to pull info from db
