BuddyPress.org

@thisisbbc I’m not sure the syncing does what you expect it to do. What was you hoping would happen?

@thisisbbc I actually did a little digging on this a few months ago and found out that there are two functions that perform the ‘syncing’ of data.

xprofile_sync_wp_profile()

This syncs Xprofile data (nickname, first name and last name) to the standard built in WordPress profile data.

xprofile_sync_bp_profile()

This syncs the standard built in WordPress profile data to XProfile.

Hope this helps.

The xprofile_sync_wp_profile function should take care of the last name for you. Isn’t this happening?

Hi
I have the latest Wp and latest BuddyPress 1.9.2
On the new user registration form it has FULL NAME box
But I need FIRST NAME and LAST NAME boxes. So I can in admin panel and users on frontend can register new users can fill their names with 2 boxes. And on search page users can search other users by first name or last name. And I can hide last names for some users etc.. Its always convenient to have first and last names in separate DB columns. So please help me out, how can I have the BuddyPress plugged site of mine to function like above?
Thanks

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
