I am using

$dmember_id = $bp->displayed_user->id;
$fb_info = xprofile_get_field_data(‘Facebook’, $dmember_id);

but I don’t get any information even when that field is populated, Could anyone help me to identify what’s wrong?

If you are on a profile page, try: $dmember_id = bp_displayed_user_id();

Thanks @shanebp, but I think I’m not getting the right id, it should match with WordPress user id?

BP uses the WP user id.
Share the context of your code.

So it isn’t giving me the right id.
I’m trying to show the social icons with the link to the social profile, the icon will be black if is set, or gray if isn’t

Again – in what context? What page? What hook?
If you don’t provide basic info, responders can only guess.

I had not understood the question, I’m trying to add it on a custom profile page. I was able to make it work with xprofile_get_field_data(‘Social Profiles’, get_current_user_id()).

One question, is possible to add new social networks to that section?
