Thank you Roger et al.
You / we can close this topic.
Best regards,

Yes, you need to echo the value returned by bp_get_member_profile_data(), or just use bp_profile_field_data() as you’ve done
Hello Roger,
I’ve used your code bp_get_member_profile_data, but it failed and found out that his code is the solution:
`
<a href="”>Url:
`
I know what you’re thinking: what a weird code …. but anyway it’s working. 
@RogerCoathup – email is sent 
To make the URL clickable, add an anchor tag and use bp_get_member_profile_data() to get the value for the href attribute.
Presume this is the best place for feedback. if not let me know and i’ll do a separate topic.
Bp 1.6 Beta 1 and up to trunk 6154 and wp 3.4.1 local install
on a single site with bp default theme and on a multisite with child of bp default.
Changes to Profile fields visibility don’t seem to be sticking
Hobbies – not a required field Who can see this field ? Anyone (default)
Change Anyone to Logged in Users and Press Save Changes.

But the changes are NOT saved. Everything stays the same !

Same for non-admin user as for admin.
I have a good few plugins active and that possibly could be the cause.
Will disable these tomorrow to check.
In the meantime it would be great to have this confirmed or refuted.
Glad it’s working, wasn’t that hard in the end thanks for posting your example.
i’ve opened a ticket to see if the comment text in the file can be amended with new example.
I’ve made a summary for others and as a reminder:
This is the code you must add around line 30 in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/member-header.php:
`
Location:
Hobbies:
<a href="”>Url:
`
And how do I make the url clickable?
Hello guys,
It works!!!
I’ve replaced in /single/members-header.php the code bp_profile_field_data() by bp_member_profile_data() and it works great!
Thank you guys!!
Why are you looking in bp core files? Dont! Please read through the thread again all the answers are there – you need to be working in /single/members-header.php
Hello guys,
Thank you for your help; I really appreciate that.
In bp-members-template.php and bp_member_profile_data I’ve found this code at line 596-632:
`function bp_member_profile_data( $args = ” ) {
echo bp_get_member_profile_data( $args );
}
function bp_get_member_profile_data( $args = ” ) {
global $bp, $members_template;
if ( !bp_is_active( ‘xprofile’ ) )
return false;
// Declare local variables
$data = false;
$user_id = 0;
// Guess at default $user_id
if ( !empty( $members_template->member->id ) )
$user_id = $members_template->member->id;
elseif ( !empty( $bp->displayed_user->id ) )
$user_id = $bp->displayed_user->id;
$defaults = array(
‘field’ => false, // Field name
‘user_id’ => $user_id
);
$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );
// Populate the user if it hasn’t been already.
if ( empty( $members_template->member->profile_data ) && method_exists( ‘BP_XProfile_ProfileData’, ‘get_all_for_user’ ) )
$members_template->member->profile_data = BP_XProfile_ProfileData::get_all_for_user( $user_id );
// Get the field data if there is data to get
if ( !empty( $members_template->member->profile_data ) )
$data = xprofile_format_profile_field( $members_template->member->profile_data[$field], $members_template->member->profile_data[$field] );
return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_member_profile_data’, $data );
}`
Is this the code you’re talking about and what should be modified?
@pinhead149 – if you’d like us to quote on the integration work, please email info@21inspired.com
Alternatively, there are a number of other good BuddyPress developers you could approach. You could also try the jobs board on here (although it’s not very active): https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/
hm i don’t understand it. can you help me maybe via skype, icq or something? i’ll pay for it if it works.

Have a look at the templates in /member/single/profile
e.g. edit.php – you’ll be interested in hooks such as bp_custom_profile_edit_fields
You’ll also want to look at members-loop.php to display the plugin fields.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4319 asks the question whether comments shouldn’t be updated.
@shanebp xprofile_get_field_data() is useful if outside of a loop, but this issue is in a members loop so the above function appropriate – but as Roger says why on earth do we still guide people to use bp_profile_field_data() if it effectively doesn’t work?
@shanebp @hnla –
As Hugo points out, we can also use (since 1.5.somethingorother) bp_member_profile_data(), defined in bp-members-template.php
The comments in member-header.php should be updated!
@rogercoathup
In 1.6, you can use
`
xprofile_get_field_data( $field, $user_id = 0, $multi_format = ‘array’ )
`
From bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-functions.php.
To get a comma-separated string, use the other $multi_format option which will implode the array for you
`
xprofile_get_field_data( $field, $user_id = 0, $multi_format = ‘comma’ )
`
Try using:
`bp_member_profile_data()`
works for me!
Yes, we’ve also noticed a problem with bp_profile_field_data() and select boxes, drop down fields, etc.
The following workaround should handle that field for you:

Note: @shanebp suggestion of using the unserialize function (see the comments), should also do the trick for you.
Hello guys,
I’ve found and added this code in member-header.php and it’s almost working:
`
Location: </span
Hobbies:
`
The location is displayed correctly, but hobbies are displayed as”Hobbies: array”.
I’ve checked profile field Hobbies; Field type= Multi select Box. This might be the problem if you use this option.
1. How do I display the selected boxes?
2. Do I have to copy the above mentioned code to the Frisco theme? If so where?
Hello guys,
Yes I’m using the Frisco theme for Buddypress and I’m completely at lost …
and I was not aware that the Frisco theme was a child-theme.
I’m now figuring out how to add my created profile fields “Location” and “Hobbies” in the member’s header.
@kookidooki Are you using the bp-default theme or a custom one here? Providing all pertinent detail is very important. Rogers guidance in his first post pointed out that there are actually instructions on how to add further xprofile fields, if you have created new profile fields then it should now be a simple matter of following the guide in the member-header file, let us know if that is proving an issue and perhaps provide an example of the code you are trying to add.
If you are not tech savvy, it sounds like you would be best to hire a developer to do this development work.
It would also be helpful if you posted full information on here – like the theme you are trying to modify – I notice you have asked the same question on the Frisco theme forums
Hello Roger,
Thank you, I’ve found the files!
I’m not tech savvy….. Maybe you could help me with the following issue:
I’ve created profile fields named “Location” and “Hobbies” in Buddypress>Profile Fields.
How do I display these fields in the member’s header just below the name of a profile.
Pls could you provide me the code and step-by-step instructions?
Thx in advance,
Kookidooki.
