Short answer is yes! 
You can use bp-profile-search plugin to search for specific profile fields. Not certain it works with the current versions of WordPress and BuddyPress though. It works great in WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.5.1
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-search/
The standard search works well too but you have to know what your searching for. BP-Profile-Search shows a visible form and a user can choose what to search for based on the criteria you set up in the plugin.
Ok appologies they need to have data in to be visible.
Yes its working as it should then!
No they’re set to a mix of Logged in Users or My Friends.
But as I mentioned when i look at My Test Friend they dont show!
On each profile field in the admin there are visibility options. Are they open for all or only user?
God I hate this forum functionality – in the head of the post I have just made it says: “Deleted User said 1 minuit ago” what is that supposed to mean?
A fast solution in profile fields for the huddle theme…
Go to wp-content/themes/huddle/functions.php and open it.
At line 45 you should see
` $new_values[] = ‘‘ . $value . ‘‘; `
change it with this
` $new_values[] = strip_tags( $value ); `
I bought this theme today, and i did not have time to beautify the code and the functions, but i will write again probably the next days.
Apologies – forgot to add that I’m using BP 1.6.1 and WP 3.4.1
Also, when I export my user data, the custom profile fields are also missing. Where is the data everyone entered in my custom fields during the login process? Thank you in advance!
While looking for a solution to the same question, I stumbled upon this: dev update. Boone B. Gorges made a “sample plugin to show how these visibility levels can be extended”: BBG’s Sample Visibility Plugin. All you have to do is create a new folder in your wp-content/plugins, and upload bbg-custom-bp-field-visibility.php & loader.php into your new folder. Then, modify bbg-custom-bp-field-visibility.php to your liking.
In addition to my first reply, you need to have the ‘Extended Profiles’ component checked in your Buddypress settings under ‘Components’.
I’m running the same version of BP & WP that you have, and I can access custom profile fields under the ‘Users’ menu –> Profile Fields.
Hope that helps.
Yes it’s xprofile fields. Check your user menu in the backend, and your BP settings.
I need to be able to show / Hide XProfile groups based on select value during the registration phase. I’m a newbie to all this so could someone please help on how accomplish this.
Is that possible with buddypress? Has this plugin been created?
so is there a plugin to add these fields – country, state, etc to the registration and profiles…
Problem with option 1: the admin will still be active roll on the site… So the new admin account would then be able to be seen. Problem with having the user have admin privileges is someone could still come in and delete any posts, etc.
When you say edit database directly, do you mean just changing the username? I thought because of the tight integration between WP and BP, the username for BP is the exact field as $user->user_login. So, unless its two different fields, this wouldn’t work.
I’m seeing that plugin, but its still the same issue I suppose… People will still see the username through hovering over or viewing the profile’s URL…. i.e. your login is modemlooper. Is it not? Mine is synergywp. Everyone knows this, so its just a matter of a malicious visitor getting a password somehow.
Thanks for the help, but maybe I didn’t properly explain… I don’t want people to be able to see the username, in any way shape or form, of an active admin, but I want the admin to be able to be active in the forums/members list, etc.
Hhhmm,
So, I don’t have access to any of the database tables, @djpaul –not allowed by my hosting provider (they rock btw!). Anyway, anyone have a suggestion as to how I could get the meta names of the XProfile fields? Thanks!
Not a single reply yet. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Here’s a little more info that further clarifies:
I’m hoping to use the S2 Member and Buddypress plugins for WordPress to manage volunteers and members at our arts cooperative and website. S2 Member seems well suited for registering both paid members and volunteers (free users) while Buddypress adds the social features needed to help our people work together.
S2 Member had me convinced of easy integration with Buddypress, but this has not exactly been the case. S2 Member Registration fields appear in the Buddypress registration form, but I’m having the following issues
1. Buddypress profile fields allow users to choose if fields should be visible in their profile, or allow admins to set a default visibility for each field. Can I implement this for fields created in S2?
2. Buddypress profile fields are linked to a search for other users that share the value of that field. I had originally thought this would be perfect for a membership directory that categorizes member and volunteer skills, but not sure how to implement a search that works with both types of fields.
3. S2 does not come with it’s own Member Directory, a feature that should be essential. It is a known issue and common complaint, for which the developers have provided some pointers in the right direction, but no comprehensive code that would integrate options into Buddypress. A membership directory is the most essential aspect to our site, but I’m confused as to how proceed, given the limitations of both plugins.
@fadebek1,
Thanks for responding. What I meant is that I don’t know what the meta names are for each one of the XProfile fields.
What I’m trying to do is map some of the fields in my FormidablePro form to the XProfile fields. Thus, when the user fills out and submits the form, the appropriate XProfile fields are updated. That’s the goal. It’s possible… but I don’t know how to do it. Getting the meta names is a good start.
Didn’t see your response, Paul until after I submitted… will look at it.
hi,
as you can read here https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/version-1-6/ in the Profile Field section, since BP 1.6, each user can set his profile fields to different visibility option from within his profile option admin.
You can also modify the template profile loop from a child theme to avoid site wide not registered users to see profiles unless they are logged in, by adding the contionnal tag if bp_user_is_logged_in.
Add this just after the first line containing do_action and don’t forgot endif at the end of the page, just before the last do_action.
@papaitirtha ,
please post questions one by one.
For the question about template, it seems there is something wrong from within it. As you know also, you paid a $60 licence to use the Huddle themeforest theme. This price includes support and you have to ask them first for disfunction and updates, not here.
FYI, the last update of the theme is 21 August 12. Did you use this update ?
Same question to @travcentralen
For the second question about retrieving profile fields automatic links, i don’t know, but please search a bit on this forum. I saw a similar one in the past 3 days….
Thank you @Hugo, but unfortunately there is no difference. Impact I tried to replace the whole members folder with the default buddypress members folder but still no change. The problem remains.
If I dnt want the link on the name ( Antonie Blake) and other profile fields then which line I have to delete from the php ? will it be solved then?
Antonie Blake
I don´t know whats happening. 
For profile fields you could either of the following:
`bp_get_profile_field_data(‘field=location&user_id=’ . bp_get_group_member_id()) `
Echo it or pass it to a variable
or:
`echo xprofile_get_field_data( ‘location’ , bp_get_group_member_id() ) `
The file that runs the group members is `/groups/single/members.php`
Edit a copy of that file and place the output where best suits your layout.
