    hello all, i’m in desperate need of just making the Full Name field not a public field.

    i want it to be seen by the member on their own profile and an admin, but not public when members are viewing each other’s profiles.

    just like all other extended fields where you can choose visibility

    bit surprised i cant find an answer to this anywhere!!

    please help!

    many thanks in advance, Craig

    Hi @csimpson,

    the answer is on the codex (bp_parse_args)

    Add this to your theme’s functions.php or into bp-custom.php

    function bpfr_make_name_members_only( $retval ) {	
	//hold all of our info
	global $bp;
	
	// is xprofile active ?	
	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )
	
    // The user ID of the currently logged in user
    $current_user_id = (int) trim($bp->loggedin_user->id);
	
    // The author that we are currently viewing
    $author_id  = (int) trim($bp->displayed_user->id);
	 
	// user can see only his name && admin can see everyone 
	if ($current_user_id !== $author_id && !current_user_can('delete_others_pages') ) {
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '1';	
	}
	return $retval;	
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'bpfr_make_name_members_only' );

    EDIT: this snippet does work only on BP 2.0+. Don’t use it with older versions.
