What hook are you using?

Try:

function anika_test() { 
    echo 'logged in ID: ' .  bp_loggedin_user_id();
    echo '<br>some field: ' .  xprofile_get_field_data('some field name', bp_loggedin_user_id() );
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'anika_test' );

bp_displayed_user_id() needs to be called in the context of a profile.
Look at the template files for an appropriate hook.

Hi @shanebp, I was wondering if I could put the “add_action” within a function and have it work? I have tried but I have been having so many problems this morning I just need to make sure that it is truly not possible! Here is my function derived from your function above:

function is_right_user() { 
global $bp;

        $loggedin =  bp_loggedin_user_id();
	$displayed =  bp_displayed_user_id();

	
	if ( $loggedin == $displayed) {		
		
		add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'custom_bp_subnav', 50 );
	}
	
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'is_right_user' );

I would like to do a check to make sure that the user is only on their own page when being able to access a subnav item.

Thanks

In addition to Henry’s comments…

Don’t include the bp global when you don’t use it in the function.

There is no advantage to your approach, and you expose yourself to a possible timing issues re the hooks. Just call the hook:

function custom_bp_subnav() { 

        $loggedin =  bp_loggedin_user_id();
	$displayed =  bp_displayed_user_id();

	
	if ( $loggedin == $displayed) {		
		
		//  do something
	}
	
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'custom_bp_subnav', 50 );
