I would like to have this, but I want to also upload my own avatars in random order out of a list of say 10 different avatars. Similar to what wavatar does but I want my own images.
== I tried to create a group name under profile setting, But it can’t allow me to create one ==
First, in your new test site, do not activate any plugin except BuddyPress; and only use the bp-default theme.
Just so we’re on the same page, when you say you created a “group name”, do you mean you clicked on the button “Add New Group”? Only the fields you create in the base group will show up in the registration form.
Test: click on “Add New Field” as seen here https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#bp-xprofiles then add a field with description and save. Log out. Then clear cache and go to registration page.
As I said, I’ve tried to desactivate all plugin except Buddypress.
Common plugins related to Buddypress on those site: BpDev Stealth Mode for Site admin, BP Group Management, BuddyPress Group Email Subscription, Events Manager, U BuddyPress Forum Attachment.
I only see one thing that may have made a difference: before I’ve reverted the primary field to its original state (Name), I was using a different name (Prénom et Nom). Usually this primary field was related to the WordPress field “Name to be displayed publicly” (or something like that). Can it make the data not beiing save because it can’t find the user’s related ID? (It is only speculation, I have no understanding of how it works) And if so, how can I reverted this primary field data value? Deleting it from the database and recreating it?
Thanks
What other plugins are you running?
This plugin works in thousands of sites. Re-reading your previous posts, have you checked whether you can add profile fields in BuddyPress > Profiles in base group? Have you contacted your host’s tech support and/or checked your forums re any issues about BuddyPress installations?
This looks like the exact kind of thing that I could do with.
I have a site for actors where actors can network.
So that the profiles are uniform and can be searchable, I HAVE to set many fields as required.
I don’t want people signing up with incomplete profiles as it looks bad, so I have to have required fields.
I want to now enable industry businesses like photographers etc to sign up, and they will need a business profile.
The profile can be the same fields for all business that sign up, (they can select a business type as the first drop down) but the business profiles will obviously require different fields to the actors.
I’ll need things like business name, an about us text field, web address and contact info.
Would this plugin be suitable for that?
Any guidance on how this would be possible would be great!

If I’m reading it right, it looks like this removes them completely. Is there a way to customize which ones link and which don’t?
@BossX – As in, similar to the wordpress profiles (https://profiles.wordpress.org/matt)?
Yes, it’s possible through a custom theme.
The top part with the profile information is simply the members/single/member-header.php file with code to insert their bio and other info – See: http://bp-tricks.com/snippets/displaying-certain-profile-fields-on-your-members-profile-page/
The bottom part is the members/single/profile.php template (their activity is an external custom built activity stream, but the theory is the same… just add the activity loop) – See: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/
And then they changed the default profile view from the activity view to profile with – define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ );
Hi Hugo, Hi Diane,
I have the same issue : Last member is listed 7 times. And when inside a group I list members for administration (admin option/manage members) I see one members 2 times, another one 3 times.
I have tested without plugins and with default theme -> Same
I checked inside database :
– wp-users has unique members
– wp_bp_user_blogs idem
One particular thing : i changed the name of the first field in the Extended Profile Fields – was “name” I put “societe” then cam back to name, because notice of some strange things (value of this field wasn’t kept, and show some other value appears) – There is a ticket on this, I think.
If you found how to manage this issue, I am very interested since I am stuck and getting some delay in opening hte web site 
Thanks
The Extended Profile Fields do not work? Could this be part of the issue?

Okay! Did some troubleshooting as you suggested, Boone, and here’s what I’ve found that seems relevant:
By default on my install, BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE was “true”. I’m not sure why. When I explicitly defined it to “false”, MY user profile page worked:
mysite.com/members/alex-weber/ — and /members/alex-weber-2-2/ did not (more on that in a second)
also, mysite.com/members/ragnar/ (previously working) does NOT work with compatibility mode = false.
here’s the relevant fields from the db, maybe this will shed more light…
`mysql> select user_login, user_nicename, user_url from wp_users where user_nicename like “ragnar%”;
+
+
+
+
| user_login | user_nicename | user_url |
+
+
+
+
| ragnar | ragnar-2 |
http://mysite.com/members/ragnar-2/ |
+
+
+
+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select user_login, user_nicename, user_url from wp_users where user_nicename like “alex-%”;
+
+
+
+
| user_login | user_nicename | user_url |
+
+
+
+
| Alex Weber | alex-weber |
http://mysite.com/members/alex-weber-2-2/ |
+
+
+
+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)`
NB: I manually edited the user_nicename with SQL for Alex Weber to remove the -2-2.
I have upgraded to 1.5.5 The registration page remain the same.
I go to Buddypress>Fields>add new and create a “Name” group, But it Failed. It says there is an error saving the group.
I change to a BP default Theme, its the same thing, that it doesn’t work.
How do i create a Name Field Under Profile Name ?
How to get my registration page to accept User registration?
I see several threads on different sites such as this one: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/solved-limit-members-loop-by-profile-fields/
…where people of successfully filtered the member loop by role, but how to filter it by domain / site?
> I have seen divs used in a premium plugin (buddydev’s cosmicbuddy).
Do bear in mind though that a ‘div’ is simply an non semantic aggregating element not intended to directly hold parsed character data so you do need a markup structure to hold your fields if not a table construct – which is pretty much a fair use for this data – then a list structure ‘ul’ or ‘dl’ can work.
@naijaping — Thanks. I’ll try this. To be sure I’m putting this bp-custom.php in the right place, does it go in the top-level buddypress directory or in one of the subdirectories (like bp-core)?
For the auto link in the profile , put this in your bp-custom.php, if you dont have bp-custom.php, create one in your plugin folder
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’ );
Thanks for the reply, @djpaul. The only thing I’ve seen recently was for something called BP Group-O-Matic but that seems only to assign groups to join for people that search for a topic.
Ok, I think I may have found it: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-groups-extras/
That seems like it would be my next choice to use if I can’t find something exactly like Extended Profiles. While that allows the creation of more custom fields, it leaves the types of fields up to the user. I’m looking to be able to, as the admin, create the custom fields that are available to all groups, in the same fashion as the Extended Profiles custom fields.
I’ll look into this one a bit more.
Hmmm, thanks. Looks like they are part of the Buddypress Profile Privacy plugin. Did not know that this plugin also had these settings. So here is what happens:
Setting privacy on individual profile fields in the profile editor works
Setting privacy setting in Profile -> Settings -> Privacy does nothing at all.
Maybe it’s something I’m doing / not doing, I don’t know.
Is Buddypress Profile Privacy 1.4.2
Will investigate further.
