Hi, I’ve created some extended profiles and would like to allow Authors to update their informmation, but when they go to edit their profile, the extended profile tab does not show up. I can edit it from the admin, but would like the Authors to be able to do it themselves. Thanks for any help.

@airfieldnotes WP/BP versions? Have you done some basic troubleshooting? https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/

Sorry, WordPress 3.9.1, Buddypress 2.0.1, using BP default and Magazine Basic Themes. And yes, I’ve done troubleshooting and searched the support forums with no luck.
Thanks for the tips.

@airfieldnotes RE BP Default theme http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/the-future-of-the-bp-default-theme/ so at this point that theme is not the standard you should be looking at.

I’ve created some extended profiles

Sanity check: you created those via Users > Profiles, right?

Thanks for the response. I think I was a bit confused, I am actually using Magazine Basic, not Buddypress Default, but thanks for the head’s up.

I created the extended profiles via Users>Profile Fields

@airfieldnotes Deactivate NextGen gallery plugin and change to Twenty Fourteen theme. Some people have reported bugs with that plugin and BP.
