    We’re using WP 3.3.1 w/ BP 1.5.4. The site admin has created custom user fields such as email, extension, department, etc.

    After login (using Shibboleth plugin for WP), all the user information (i.e email, extension, department) is available to WP as environment variables. How do I map these environment variables to the users custom profile fields? Which php code do I need to look at?

    Tricky. Depends on what you want to do with it. If you just want to display the values, you could just print those in your template.

    Thanks Paul. Which template are you referring to?

    Totally depends on where you want the values to appear! Are you using a custom theme you built, or something you purchased online? Can we get a sample of the URL that you want the data to appear on (change the domain if you want) and/or screenshots? Otherwise it’s hard to help blind.

    Sorry, as you can tell I’m trying to troubleshoot an already configured WP/BP that I’m not familiar with. A sample URL would be:

    http://bp.mydomain.org/members/first-last/profile

    Not sure how to tell if it’s a custom theme, or something purchased…
