Is there a way to isolate the notifications from the other profile settings?
I’m using amember V4 to manage registration and subscriptions everything is working correctly except for 1 thing… The “settings” menu in the subscribers user profile goes to a blank white page “404” is the error I get.
for example…

The other issue is that because amember is handling the login and registration/ username and password etc. I’d only like the user to be able to edit their notifications from this menu… Not their U and P: is there a way to do this?
In BP 1.6, we’ve added profile field visibility (privacy); ‘anyone’, ‘logged in users’, ‘my friends’. Try it out on testbp.org when you edit your profile. Not quite what you’ve asked for, but it should open up a new range of possibilities for plugin authors to filter things further.
No such thing sadly; you could ensure the fields are in a specific group of their own and then wrap that in a if is_admin check so only admins can read, if you are creating a theme for general use and wouldn’t know the field names then you may need to write a function of some description with dashboard option settings to manage things or check what BP plugins are available in the ‘privacy’ genre and see if they offer any greater control.
Actually, I did. She was wondering if there were more obvious solutions than what she could think of. Though she mentioned that the listed solution only works if you don’t ever have a different field name.
Attached is a screenshot of what I really was hoping BuddyPress would have, a standard Ning feature, which allows you to select ‘private’, so the answer will only be visible to you and other administrators: http://csplacemaking.com/images/profile-questions.png. This is the ideal solution.
😆 oh if you had a programmer you should have thrown it his way first- anyway it’s an easy enough problem to deal with one way or another.
Thanks Hugo, I’ll have to pass this one on to our programmer 
You’ll need to do something like wrap the custom xprofile loop section in a check for a specific field name ‘birthdate’ and do something like ‘if not’ ‘birthdate’ go ahead and display field item or display if is_admin if you want to be able to see users data as a site admin.
To remove a field you could do:
`
<tr>
|
|
`
in the profile loop; equally if you wanted to remove a complete field group you can copy the approach seen in the file for ensuring that the base group is not shown `if ( 1 != bp_get_the_profile_group_id() ) ` adding an OR followed by a check on the group id to hide.
BP should fulfil all your requirements in respect of the opening post and you can extend that profile functionality with a little work – by default all profile fields are shown excepting signup fields such as email.
The easiest way is to create a new profile field group, and move the fields you don’t want to appear on the registration form into it.
The more involved way is to edit the /registration/register.php file in your theme, and tweak the section that begins “Use the profile field loop to render input fields”. This is also the place where you’ll want to move the markup to arrange the form to your liking; you will probably also need to add some CSS to your theme.
Profiles are by default public, you can also extend them by creating your own custom xprofile fields, these and any profile fields can be further modified if wished to show or hide some based on whether the displayed user is also the logged in user.
My avatar cropping is still not working. My console says:

Any help?
Member can change avatars by going to their user profile > Profile tab > Change Avatar.
When you say no profile content, do you mean the tab is empty? There are no tabs? Can you be more specific? If you haven’t added any extended profile fields, the only data that will display is their name, I believe.
@marcella1981, that sounds awesome, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Cheers,
My webhost purged the cache and that seemed to solve the problem
The cropping still doesn’t work, though 
Hi Bojan
Thanks for your reply. It’s a good start but what I really need is to have two fields in one row. Let’s say two named in one row. There’s a woman and a man and their names, for example, I’d like to show in one row.
Thanks a lot

@Marcella,
Although most of this is way over my head, it looks like you’re on to something great. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help!
There’s no limit to the number (or type) of profile fields that you can use at the same time.
Also, the crop profile picture after upload doesn’t work.
Any help and suggestions very welcomed! Behind schedule because of this hickup Thanks in advance!
Membership – have you seen S2members? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/s2member/
The name, city ect, you can get that by default in buddypress via your wp-admin – go to buddypress/profile fields.
The profile stuff you can achieve by modifying the members/single/* files in your theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
Search – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-better-directories/home/
To answer your last question – Pretty much. The only plugin i couldn’t find was the one that forces buddypress to do my laundry… 
– Single wordpress install version 3.3.1
– BuddyPress version 1.5.3.1
– The theme is called Torn 1.7.6 by Louis Zuno
– Of plugins I have:
Akismet, bbpress, Bowe codes, BWP Google XML Sitemaps, Cubepoints, CubePoints Buddypress Integration, GD bbpress attachments, Maintainence Mode, Sociable, Social login, User role editor, wp e-commerce
– I tried deactivating all the plugins and changing to the default buddypress theme, but that had no effect
– WP/BP versions?
– Single WP or WP multisite?
– What theme are you using?
– What plugins do you have installed?
– Have you tried basic troubleshooting like changing to bp-default theme and deactivating all plugins except BP to see if issue is corrected?
Hmm would be cool to add that feature. Has anyone out there done this?
