@shanebp I appreciate your confidence, unfortunately I’m lost and have not gotten anything that is helping me narrow things down, not from logs or debug either….

@shanebp, I’ve tracked it down but still cant figure out what is wrong. This was all working until I upgraded to the latest bp… It is in my functions file for my theme, it is this function to place 3 xprofile fields in the member header area:

/** 
 *  Add extended profile fields to the member profile header area  
*/

add_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta' , 'display_user_xprofile_fields' );
function display_user_xprofile_fields() {

 	$artistname = bp_get_member_profile_data('field=Artist Name');
    $musicalgenre = bp_get_member_profile_data('field=Musical Genre');
    $location = bp_get_member_profile_data('field=Location');

    if ($artistname || $musicalgenre || $location) {

        echo '<div class="mdetcenter artist"><h4 class="user-nicename">'. '' . $artistname . '</h4></div>';
        echo '<div class="mdetcenter genre">'. '' . $musicalgenre . '</div>';
        echo '<div class="mdetcenter location">'. '' . $location . '</div>';
    }
}

Can you see what is wrong? This is driving me crazy…

OK will do @shanebp.
Can anyone give me a hand and let me know if this code looks proper? Even if I remove this from my child theme functions.php file and add the following to my member-header.php file:

bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Artist Name' );
bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Musical Genre' );
bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Location' );

I get similar results; the custom fields being displayed multiple times, oddly when I add the above to the member-header.php I get the Artist name field showing 4 times in a row rather than repeating sets of fields 1-4 and then fields 1-4 again duplicating when the code in a previous post above is in the functions file…

I guess I see how, I would use my bp-custom.php plugin file but I thought overriding files in this manor was the acceptable way to do it? I guess it makes sense that if the file changes shi* will break…

OK this mostly worked and I do not know how to fix the portion that is not working. I’ve entered this:

/*
* Add xprofile fields to member header
*/
function custom_display_xprofile_fields() {

if ( $data = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Artist Name' ) ) : 
	echo '<div class="mdetcenter artist"><h4 class="user-nicename">'. xprofile_get_field_data( 'Artist Name', bp_displayed_user_id() ) .'</div>';
endif;

if ( $data = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Musical Genre' ) ) : 
	echo '<div class="mdetcenter genre">'. xprofile_get_field_data( 'Musical Genre', bp_displayed_user_id() ) .'</div>';
endif;

if ( $data = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Location' ) ) : 
	echo '<div class="mdetcenter location">'. xprofile_get_field_data( 'Location', bp_displayed_user_id() ) .'</div>';
endif;

}
add_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta' , 'custom_display_xprofile_fields' );
add_filter( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'custom_display_xprofile_fields' );

The Musical Genre field is a multi-select field type and the echo is printing “array” rather than the array of selected values in this field…

@danbp can you help here?

For some reason this line

if ( $data = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Musical Genre' ) ) : 
	echo '<div class="mdetcenter genre">'. xprofile_get_field_data( 'Musical Genre', bp_displayed_user_id() ) .'</div>';
endif;

Is not printing the div class, it’s just printing the values. I’ve tried to create a new field, first renaming the previous and recreating the new with the same name “Musical Genre” but I’m not getting and <div class=”…. to print. @danbp any ideas?

@danbp several searches seemed to turn up that this is an open issue with this field type. What I did was basically workaround and added a echo <br> to the following line in the function which is using bp_get_profile_field_data rather than bp_member_profile_data. If you or anyone can point to the direct so I could properly allow this to output my html classes around a multi-select field type being called with bp_member_profile_data, I would be greatful. @danbp Thanks a million for your assistance!

they are 2 classes, do I need “” around each of them?
This is a multi-select field.
The other 2 work fine its just the musical genre field that is not printing the classes, or any of the html…
