Hello All,

I am new to buddy press. Currently I am working in a site which consists of Directory Press + S2Member + BuddyPress. My aim is to retrieve the value from buddypress profile fields on profile activation. Everything went fine till try to get the data from the profile field in buddy press

When I searched the documentation says us to use the function `bp_profile_field_data`

The following code works fine in the file profile-loop.php

`bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Company Name’ )`

But when I use the same code in functions.php it shows blank

Thanks
Linish

Use :
xprofile_get_field_data( “Company Name” , $member_id)
You have to supply the $member_id

If you’re on a profile page, the $member_id will be provided via bp_displayed_user_id()

Take a look at
/bp-xprofile/ -> bp-xprofile-functions.php -> xprofile_get_field_data

xprofile_get_field_data function is provided so that you CAN use it on non-profile pages.

Use http://pastie.org/ or similar to show what you tried.

Hello all,

I solved the issue by using the hook `wpmu_activate_user`

Thanks for the tips 🙂
