Hi there. is there a question here?
Visibility goes back and forth.
It, the link in the settings menu on member profiles, should remain invisible to User Roles it doesn’t apply to, while visible to the User Roles it is selected to be visible to.
It does not listen to set user roles.
What is the error and how to fix?
There might be an error with BuddyPress where it decides to sometimes reveal this menu link, to go back to being invisible.
I have tried to deactivate all plugins, and then activate them one by one to see if they cause the issue — neither did.
Is that link provided by a user roles plugin? I don’t see it one my BP install
Added through WordPress Users > Profile Fields…….
I have more menu links created the same way which include all Member Types we have and are visible to all these Member Types (all members of community), as should, with no issues.
This specific menu link that I have issues with uses specific User Roles, where not all User Roles available are included, just three User Roles selected – and it has this issue.
Thank you for replying.
on my site, profile fields does not lead to anything obvious about user roles
I see.
When creating a new field, or editing an existing field. The right sidebar, is where one can select which Member Types the fiels should be available to. As pictured below.

I call these both User Roles and Member Types, perhaps I don’t word it correct. Perhaps these are two very separate things. I don’t know.
I’ve not set any member types, my understanding is that although BuddyPress launched the ability to support member types, the ability to create them has to be from a plugin.
I have the WordPress Creator Plan.
In left side menu under ‘Users‘ there is ‘Member Types‘.
Clicking on ‘Member Types’ opens this (screenshot) page and this is my setup with created Member Types: Screenshot .
The plugins I have active are:
– (BuddyDev) BP Auto Login on Activation
– Activity Pub
– Akismet
– BP Auto Group Join
– BP MPO Activity Filter
– BP Profile as Homepage
– BuddyPress
– BuddyPress Username Changer
– BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types
– Crowdsignal Forms
– Crownsignal Polls & Ratings
– Gutenberg
– Imsanity
– Jetpack
– Jetpack Boost
– Kirki Customizer Framework
– Leira Letter Avatar
– Link Page to Groups
– Page Optimize
– rtMedia for WordPress
– WordPress.com Editing Toolkit
– WP Headers And Footers WP User Login Notifier
– Yoast SEO
– Youzify
I have disabled Youzify and BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types to see if they made the Member Types possible to create but no.
Thank you for your patience.
Ah, I see. We don’t support the wordpress.com install, we have no way of knowing how they have configured things, as we all run our own servers, and are not directly part of the team that supports BP on WP.com
WordPress on own servers?
Ok so could you please point me to where I should take the issue, thanks.
Presumably via your wordpress.com account. Presumably there’s a help section, with access to further support?
You mentioned a team that supports BP on WP.com. I do not see specifically BP mentioned in my WP install but shall head for their forums and see what I can find.
Thank you.
It’s not something I know about, me not being their customer. Clearly they have allowed you to install BuddyPress (BP) and there should be some support available.
