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.

Within the context of a wp post
$user_id would be get_the_author_id() ?

`
$authorBio = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘Bio’, $user_id );

echo ‘Author’s bio: ‘. $authorBio;
`

@matthillcomer are you referring to posts by multiple authors in single WP or posts by members in subsites of a Multisite installation?

To clarify my post above, I do not have buddypress showing in the toolbar on the left under settings on the subdomain and when i network activate it, do not see profile fields…

i have declared the root blog as advised…

To display extended profile fields in the members directory, it’s easiest to add a function to your theme’s functions.php file. My theme is based on the bp-default theme, so in my file /wp-content/themes/theme-name/members/members-loop.php, there’s this action at the end of each member’s entry that we can hook into:

Open up your functions.php file and add something like this:

function add_member_custom_extended_profile() {
if ( $xprofile_tele = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Telephone' ) ) {
echo 'Telephone:' . $xprofile_tele . '
';
}
}
add_action('bp_directory_members_item', 'add_member_custom_extended_profile'); 

You can get the exact field name to use by looking at a member’s profile page and copying the text in the left-most column.

I originally got this idea from here: http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/bp-add-profile-field-data-to-members-directory-with-links

That is strange.When you went to Dasboard/Users/Profile Fields and under Base(Primary) and clicked Add New Field it should have took to to where you can add a Field Title, and Field Description. Did you scroll to the bottom and click “Save?”

Install my plugin to get option to remove links. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-extended-settings/

Removing the links automatically created in a member’s profile ?

haven’t actually tried it myself but it would be something like:

`

`

and I’d put that just after the latest updates endif in the members-loop.php

I’m not a great coder, just learning with buddypress. Let me know if it works

PS: by doing it that way, you can add some style in style.css

In what way? There is an option in the profile fields admin screen to allow an admin to set a specific profile visibility for a specific field.

It’ll be a profile field set up in wp-admin. Look for “Profile Fields” under the “Users” menu, and delete it.

@jloc14 Install and activate @modemlooper ‘s BuddyPress Extended Settings plugin from here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-extended-settings/
In the dashboard go to BuddyPress/Extended Settings put a check beside “Profile Field Links Disable auto linking of user profile fields” and at the bottom click “Save Changes.” This will remove the auto linking of those profile fields. Alternatively you can create a file named bp-custom.php and place it in the plugins directory and copy and paste in the below code:
`<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 9, 2 );
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘remove_xprofile_links’ );
?>`
Save the file and this will accomplish the same goal.

Just updated! the new privacy option added to the profile fields are creating confusion in my setup. Is there a way I can disable it?

I requested urgent help on this please.

Thank you very much

If you want validation as they type / enter — hook some jQuery onto your form. [That’s standard jQuery form validation, for which you’ll be able to Google for plenty of examples]

In your jQuery, you can call out (POST) to your PHP validation function. Look up AJAX in WordPress for details on how to do this – in particular you are interested in using admin-ajax.php and registering your function as an action. You then specify that action in your jQuery AJAX call.

You might also want to look at some of the WordPress data validation functions.
