Turn off links for profile fields
-
So.. for some reason my profile data has become links.
Well a while ago I wanted it them to, but now that I have “Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress” I don’t need them ALL to be links, now my users can choose what they want to be links.
Anyway, I used to have a plugin, and for some reason I’ve completely forgot what it was called. But what it did was it would convert ALL of my profile field data into a link that searched the members for whatever the data said.
HOWEVER, now that I’ve removed this old plugin, all the fields are links still (aside from dates).
An example of what is happening.
Lets say I have a profile field called “Favorite Colour”
Some one types in:
Reddish Brown
and saves their profile. On their profile they would have a link saying Reddish Brown.
HOWEVER, with “Custom Profile Filters”. If they type:
Reddish [Brown]
only Brown will be a link. Which is how it’s supposed to work.
MY QUESTION:
Why are they still links even if I haven’t included the brackets?
Thank you.

BTW: please let me know if this Plug-in works fine with BP-version 1.2.1
Thanks for the plug, Erich
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/ is the plugin you’re thinking of. I updated it about a week ago to work on versions of BP 1.2+ (though you should definitely let me know if it does not work!).
@Nick – the plugin will do what you want. Check out the readme file, which will explain how to make it work.
@gregfielding – That’s a good idea, but at the moment BP is not set up in a way that makes it easy to create those check marks with a plugin. Maybe I’ll submit a core patch that does it, as I’d like to see it too.
