You’re missing a semi-colon after the custom_xprofile call. That will likely bugger up PHP and might be the source of your issue.

I think you need to look at what @DJPaul said. If your function always returns true then you’re always going to output something, even if that something is blank.

function custom_xprofile( $field ) {

echo bp_custom_get_member_list_xprofile_data( $field );

}

That echo will always return something. You need to dig into bp_custom_get_member_list_xprofile_data and see if there’s a way to determine if $field exists.

Yes, but your custom_xprofile call just does an “echo”. echo will always return something. Something might be a string or it might be a blank but it will always return something. You can’t test a function return value if you aren’t returning a value. Inside custom_xprofile, you need a “return TRUE” or something like that to be able ot use it in a boolean logic check that the if does.

@gian-ava: For your second question, check out this post https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/faq-how-to-code-snippets-and-solutions#post-13243

I haven’t tried this but it would suggest you could do something like:

<?php if ( bp_has_profile('profile_group_id=9') || bp_has_profile('profile_group_id=7') ) : ?>

<?php while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>

<div id="widget1">

<?php if (bp_the_profile_group() == "9") : ?>

// Do whatever you want with group 9

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if (bp_the_profile_group() == "7") : ?>

// Do whatever you want with group 7

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<? endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

The only part I’m not sure about is if you need the first call to bp_the_profile_group() on the second line (after the start of the while loop).

For anyone else looking for getting an if statement to work, I got to work. This is from member-loop.

Here is the same for the member-header.
