I may be way off from what your issue is, but I’m using the plugin Extended Profile Fields to make my new members fill in more information. Anything you create in the “base” group will appear on the signup page.
DOES NO ONE ANSWER ANYTHING ON HERE ANYMORE?
Nobody may help me ? I absolutely need to call some php functions if user has not uploaded avatar or filled out some profile fields, need your help 
In the admin under buddy press menu you will find “profile fields”. Click that to set profile field options.
i have the same issue. i have also in the wp admin menu only settings, profile fields, components and pages! i use wp 3,2,1 and buddypress 1,5,1 with sitewide forum. forum is simple press. bbpress didnt worked out. so i deactivated it. in the user bar i cant find the genaral groups page. as user or as admin. i have to put site.com/groups manually to see the groups listing page and create link! activitypage also. i mean the genaral pages. there are menus for member releated groups and activity. but genaral member list link is also missing: site.com/members. whats wrong?
Thx @DJPaul
Now I can’t se the second group in my profile when I logged in. How do I get that to work?
And also, when the user logs in for the first time I would like the second profile page to be the default landing page. Is this possible?
I see now that if I go in the admin page of site in the FIELDS PROFILE I have the same problem! I have (normal) no name but I have male, 10-10-1996 etc… and I can’ t set any other default value for these fields.
Anyone resolve ?
Easiest way without changing your theme templates would be to put all your register fields into profile group 1, and all your other fields into another group. By default, only profile field group 1 appear on the registration page.
If, however, your theme isn’t BP-Default (or a child theme of), I’ve got no idea.
This will be very useful for membership sites…
Sounds like good enhancement/plugin
@pcwriter: thanks for your help, still having some trouble displaying. I think the trouble is lying within the
on the edit.php where all of these fields are displaying. I added a border to the wrapper just to see what was happening. It looks like the loop is actually looping the profile-wrap, even though I only have it for first name, middle name, last name. I tried removing the while loop all together, and then no fields are visible. Any ideas on what I can do here?
`#profile-wrap{
width:100%;
border:1px solid #dbdbdb;
}
#profile-wrap #edit-profile-right-column-firstname, #profile-wrap #edit-profile-right-column-middlename, #profile-wrap #edit-profile-right-column-lastname{
display:inline-block;
width:50%;
margin-right:2%;
}`
In my html, I’m referencing as shown below , but BP is just defaulting to the standard profile page formatting putting those 3 fields one below each other instead of on the same line. You can login again and see what I mean (un: jahmakan5 , pw:test)
`
<label for="”>
<input type="text" name="” id=”” value=”” />
<label for="”>
<input type="text" name="” id=”” value=”” />
<label for="”>
<input type="text" name="” id=”” value=”” />
`
Thanks kwerri,
I did what you said and here’s what happened with BP Default theme activated:
WordPress database error: [Table ‘BikramGlobal.wp_bp_xprofile_fields’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT id FROM wp_bp_xprofile_fields WHERE name = ‘Name’
etc…
okay reverted back to the default and still the same issue
If I sign in as Admin and view a non-friend profile that has checked the privacy settings I get the message ‘you must be friends with this user to view their profile’ all is good, but..
If I sign in as a member and go to a friends profile – again that has their privacy settings checked I cannot see any of their profile fields – plus there is nothing on display in terms of the above notice – you must be friends blah blah
I got rid of ALL walled-garden edits and still the issue persists dude 
The trouble is in total I’m running 10 plugins
I’ve stripped my plugins down to the bone and even sacrificed a couple that I ‘want’ more than ‘need’ if you know what I mean, so can’t afford to lose anymore or major functions on the site will be sorely missed.
Is it at all possible that this issue with the privacy plugin is ringing any other ‘alarm bells’ apart from plugin conflict..?
Just read you don’t want to edit home.php. There isn’t a filter for privacy like there is with messages for showing profile sections. Messages and xprofile fields has logic for output and can be filtered but the actual page needs a code edit.
In the admin under BuddyPress menu there is a section “profiles” you can add more fields for users to fill out at sign up . These are not hidden, you will have to come up with your own solution. Hiding fieldsis on the development road map. There is also BuddyPress profile privacy plugin.
login username is just jahmakan5 password:test
I’ll replace the html comments, but thats not affecting the white space. Its the hidden fields for sure.
Nobody else have try to do this ?
hello,
I try to do the same thing. I want to display a specific picture following the gender of the members.
I use add_filter and the picture of the profil is the good one but all others pictures from sidebar, for example, are the same…
Have you finally find a solution for this issue ?
Thanks in advance,
My test code :
function bp_remove_gravatar ($image, $params, $item_id, $avatar_dir, $css_id, $html_width, $html_height, $avatar_folder_url, $avatar_folder_dir) {
$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .’/images/bp_default_avatar.gif’;
if( $image && strpos( $image, “gravatar.com” ) ){
if ( bp_get_profile_field_data( ‘field=Gender’ ) == ‘Female’ ) {
$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .’/images/def_f_avatar.gif’;
return ‘
‘;
}
if ( bp_get_profile_field_data( ‘field=Gender’ ) == ‘Male’ ) {
$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .’/images/def_m_avatar.gif’;
return ‘‘;
}
else {
return $image;
}
} else {
return $image;
}
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’, ‘bp_remove_gravatar’, 1, 9 );
Thank you for your answer Xevo.
Ok but if I do that, I’ll need to do in all area where there is profile picture… even in widget on sidebar… in member list, etc… It is very long, no?
It is not possible to modify the bp_member_avatar function to include this test?
It’s works like this when a member upload it’s own picture, it is automatically display as avatar but I don’t know how it works.
Thanks
Get xprofile field result, run it through an if, and just get the avatar out of your images folder of your theme. No buddypress avatar functions needed.
Your code should work because this code : php bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Country’ ); works for me in members-loop.php – didn’t try it in BP 1.5 yet
BP Media has a nice upload function accesable from the users profile, if you dig through their plugin files im sure youd find a similar function. Or are you looking for some sort of shortcode for users?
Theres also https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/screenshots/ which might be sort of what your looking for…
Hi there,
I am having a major issue in that the registration is not populating the fields in the user database. Can anyone help? intooutside.org/sign-up
Somehow the fields are not inputting the data into the user profile (ie: first, last names are required and they are nowhere in the database). This happened after I installed Buddy Press
Help!
PS I am not a coder and know conceptually, so speak laymen if possible in your response
Still no answer to this one! Once again…I do not understand the purpose of the extended profile the way it works (doesn’t work) right now.
