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.
Anyone? This is kind of a big issue, not just with my site but anyone that has extended profiles activated. If you can delete a Primary/Required field, that’s big in itself. But if it can be automatically re-added by disabling/enabling XProfiles, and it doesn’t sync up when it’s re-enabled, then most people will not know there is an issue till it’s too late.
Since I disabled Extended Profiles then Re-enabled it, numerous times, I now have 8 (eight) Name (Primary)(Required) fields in the extended profiles area that do not sync up nor can they be deleted.
Very timely question. I came here to ask the exact same thing. (Originally posted here: http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/how-to-hide-specific-buddypress-profile-fields – they suggested I ask here)
Ummm…I guess this thread is spammed?
Thank you for the link, Aces, but my problem with that answer is that every profile field is filled in (5 or 6) and I only tweak my site vis CSS includes, so that would be alot of changing the .php files which don’t do.
I would like to figure out why it is happening, if at all possible.
I have some other issues, and I thought I’d line them up.
I tried searching around the web, but I couldn’t come to a sollution. I have two buddypress-related issues, that I was hoping to get some help with.
1. is that http://roskilde-open.dk/om-os/sidens-medlemmer should display all the sites registered users, but for some reason it only shows those that registered or have logged in with us, since I migrated the site to a new host. Maybe I could do a “log all in and out”-call and it’d fix it, but I have no idea how. Maybe you guys have a better suggestion, but I’m running out of ideas 
2. When a user uploads a new avatar, the crop function isn’t working as it should. It just shows part of the images not giving options to select wich area of the image to crop. I think it’s some js that’s either not being loaded or getting errors. I just don’t know where it’s going wrong and how I go about fixing it.
Thanks in advance
-Viktor
Just posting again, hoping someone can help with this issue (see above).
I don’t really know how to figure out if they’ve been loaded or not Should I just read it in with my theme to be sure, or will a double load of j-crop crash things?
Dashboard menu BuddyPress > Profile Fields.
Note that any fields in the “Base” group will appear on the signup page == registration page. So create another xprofile group for the fields which could be answered at a later date.
Sorry to bump, but if anyone has any idea about where this code lives then I’m happy enough to snip the bits out of it!
I use a combination of xprofile and BuddyPress Profile Privacy. Granted this does not automatically create new ‘tabs’ it does allow you to separate Profile Fields into Groups and give the user control of who has access to what. I have a separate group for Social Networks. This allows the user to enter their social network information. Facebook Profile, Twitter, MSN, AIM, etc. This Social Network ‘group’ is displayed below the user’s other profile information.
Adding them isn’t a problem at all, (although I am sure you know this, sorry if I am being over-simple) you just go to the dashboard, go to buddypress -> profile fields and then add the ones you want in there. You’d need to create a hook into the sign-up process to then restrict the sign-up based on age though, which becomes more complex
