BuddyPress.org

This hit me too, but with profile fields set to “only me.”

It’s about as big a potential problem as I can imagine.

How can I also make it so that the fields on the profile page are to be filled out when you have signed up and not on the registration page?

The fields added into the primary profile field group, named “Base” by default, will get collected on registration. The ones added to other profile field groups do not get collected on registration and are optionally added by users after register. So just make some profile field groups and put the fields you want to collect on registration into the Base profile field group, and the additional fields into another profile field group(s).

Thank you @tolusage, it was very helpful, first I installed “buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type.1.5.8.4” plugin then “bp-xprofile-wp-user-sync” as you said. Some works now, except the profile page tabs and Signup module. Registration form all ok there are first name and last name boxes there.
1-But on profile page there are about me and Looking for tabs. Ans I see the same data in both tabs. Looking for has the same info as About me. Basically the name, age, height, weight etc all base info appears in looking for tab too except in quotes in Looking for css design.
2-And signup module doesnt show first and last name boxes
As you know on signup box there are these element boxes:
.User name
.Your full name
.Your email
.Desired password
.Confirm password
So I want to get rid off that “Your full name” and put “First name” and “Last name” boxes there. So what file do I need to modify? And how, with what coding?
3-And on admin panel as admin I want to be able to edit user data, at the moment I can edit only the names, email, password. But I want to be able to edit the age, height, weight, country, city thinks like that I have in the main registration form already exist. But on admin panel I cant see them for users to edit. How can I put them in users edit page?
Could you please help out, thanx @tolusage

@oscar582234,

Try the above combination of tips by @henrywright and mine…

Additionally, use the following plugin to create your First Name and Last Name fields as XProfile Fields:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/

Then use the above plugin to sync them as necessary!

@boblebad,

What you trying to create is a bit interesting and it might take about 3 or 4 plugins to manage fully… So follow the steps below and you’re well on your way:

Foremost, Install this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/
(NB: That is for the More Profile Fields Option)

Step 2:
Install this plugin to achieve the “ticking off boxes, and also make them searchable, like vegetarian, vegan, smoking a.s.o. ?” that you asked:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-better-directories/
(Although the plugin is a little old, the author is a BuddyPress core developer – see if you can work something out with him)

Step 3:
The 4 Membership Plans Stuff is best handled by the free version of the plugin below,
https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/

Step 4:
About the Profiles Completion Meter (35% Completed and so forth, but without the quality stamp!)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-progression/

The quality stamp part is best worked out with the developer of Sweet Date. Just request custom development services from him and you’re good to go.

I added a profile field to the members header.php, it was overwritten when I updated to the latest bp because I forgot to add it to my child theme.

it became the default:
<?php
/***
* If you’d like to show specific profile fields here use:
* bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=About Me’ ); — Pass the name of the field
*/
do_action( ‘bp_profile_header_meta’ );

?>

But the field still appears in the members header! how is this possible?

My problem is, I’m trying to recreate the same site again, but I can’t duplicate it, I don’t know how to edit the members header anymore, or why it still works on my demo, but not when I use the same copy of bp as my demo?

Im getting this error in the members header

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home/palosverdes1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-template.php on line 662

What’s going on? Please help!

Hello to everyone. Sorry If I reup this topic.
I try the method @r-a-y suggests in file edit.php (not in /profile-loop.php) and it worked just fine.

The problem is that I wanted that normal users cannot edit but admins can.
So I think that the easiest way is with user_id (the alternative would be using wp_meta, the role and wp_capabiliets I think?

So I have to put something like that

while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); if ( get_current_user_id()=#ADMIN ID OR bp_get_the_profile_field_id() != 'ID # YOU WANT TO SKIP' ) :

Am i right?
Thanks for the anwser

You shouldn’t need to hack the core plugin files in order to do solve the spacing issue. It’s just going to cause heartache when you update the plugin, and have to make the changes all over again. I know you are embarking on a big learning journey with BP, WP, and PHP, but I would suggest it’s time to learn a little CSS now as well. If you use a tool like Mozilla’s Firebug, you can identify the CSS identifier and tweak the CSS in a child theme (https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)

For example, the profile field by default has a padding: 8px; in the template. If you increase that number, you will increase the spacing between the profile fields.

Regarding adding the profile info in your member directory, this tutorial will walk you through how to pull a file from the plugin and add it to your child theme, so you can update the BP plugin more easily. It explains how to place an item on the Profile, but I’m sure the same thing could be pulled off on the Member Directory with a few tweaks.

http://bp-tricks.com/snippets/displaying-certain-profile-fields-on-your-members-profile-page/

utilize the use of bp action instead, add this to your functions

if ( !function_exists('add_rules_in_register') ) {
function add_rules_in_register() {
echo "<a href='hxxp://www.websitehere.com' target='_blank'>Rules</a>";
}
add_action('bp_after_signup_profile_fields','add_rules_in_register');
}
