Removing WP User Profile Field
-
Hello
I was in the WP dashboard users panel and played around with the profile fields, as you can see on the Screenshot and this has affected the profile activities tab/page within my BuddyPress profile page. It’s removed all the visibility setting options and replaced it with This here.Can anyone tell me how to remove this field as it has no delete options and I have been trying now for 2 days.

The xprofile field that is indicated in your screenshots is a field that cannot be removed/deleted nor can the visibility be changed. IOW, there is one xprofile field that is required by default with a default label of “Name” and this field cannot be removed/deleted nor can the visibility be changed. The BuddyPress xProfile fields administration documentation states:
It also adds a primary profile field (to store the display “Name” of your members) inside these two groups. The “Name” xProfile field as well as the “Base” & “Signup fields” xProfile field group cannot be deleted.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks like you changed the label from “Name” to “Your Trade Type” which is allowed, however this field has a relationship to the “Nickname” WP profile field and the available options for the “Display name publicly as” dropdown box (both located in any given User’s WP profile page), given that the “field_id” for this xprofile field is equal to 1 (numeric one).
Hi
Thanks for the response BUT I am the one that added/created these 2 fields as there was nothing there before that, wanting to see what they do and where and how they are displayed, then not happy with the result I want ed to delete them,, I did delete one as it had that option at the bottom right corner but this one has nothing.
Having said that – based on Your comment – I will change the name to what Name? .Having said that I must tell you that I have since converted my plugin from BuddyPress to BuddyBoss and will be keeping that option as it has far more detailed usability which suits my needs better, BuddyPress was great though – I am not sure if yoiu are both connected to each other or not so if not, your help is still valuable for buddyboss although it added a few other fields, plus I am still using a few buddypress plugin extension with the buddyboss.
Cheers
PhilOK, sounds good and I’ll consider this topic resolved. FWIW, BuddyBoss is a fork of BuddyPress with obvious differences.
Take care.
