[Resolved] get profile group name

I am trying to mod the profile loop so that I can render profile groups and group titles even if the user has not entered that data. I want this to show profile progress.

I’ve tried bp_the_profile_group_name(); echo bp_get_the_profile_group_name(); but they don’t seem to display a profile name if the user does not have data for that group.

I have moved these function calls outside the if statement that qualifies if the user has data and it still does not return.

Is there another approach to getting a profile group name? Perhaps by passing a group id?

Thanks

Perhaps you can spare time and use https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddy-progress-bar/ ?

Interesting option but they want to have a link that previews the answers. So in that section I will display “profile group title” and some sort of user friendly “no records found”

I was hoping it would work like get_title or get_posts and you could pass the id but that’s not how it works.

I suspect I will do a wp_query of at the top and use the page group id to key the title from the results. I was just wondering if there was a cleaner or more appropriate way to get this.

I figured it out.
```
$args = array(
'profile_group_id'   => $current_profile_group_id
	);
$data_groups = BP_XProfile_Group::get( $args );
echo '<h1>'.$data_groups[0]->name.'</h1>';
echo '<p>'.'It looks like you have not given any responses here yet.'.'</p>';
```
I added a counter var in the loop which initializes to 0 if after passing through the loop its 0 it will execute this.
