How to Display xProfile Fields in WP User > Edit?

I am relatively new to using BuddyPress but have spent a lot of time trying to find an answer to my question and I am at a total loss.

I have created several xProfile fields under Users > Profile Fields but none of them display on the WP User profile (Admin Dashboard > Users > Edit or user-edit.php) for any given user.

Fields:
Name, Profession, Phone, Email, Address, Date of Birth, Emergency Contact Name, Emergency Contact Phone

Ideally these fields would be displayed on the WP User profile with a header such as Personal Information.

Go to Users and mouse over a user’s name. Then click the ‘Extended’ option.

Thanks for the reply. That is exactly the information I was looking for. Any idea how I would go about making the tab navigation displayed in this view (Profile, Extended Profile) active when I’m on the default Profile view as well?

That would not be possible without a very large amount of work.
If you are not a very experienced WP dev, do not try it.

Thanks. I have to say, this seems like an oversight considering how unintuitive it was to find the Extended fields and then for tabs to be present on the Extended profile page but not on the primary profile page. I can appreciate the work that would go into this, I am just surprised I’m in the minority bringing this up and a ready made solution isn’t available/built into the core.

Thanks again.
