xprofile_get_field_data NOT Working in Child Theme!

I’m simply just trying to use xprofile_get_field_data with no success inside a child theme.

I have tried so many different things. I’ve tried…
- adding global $bp;
- creating a new instance: $bp = buddypress();
- echo $bp->loggedin_user->id (returns nothing);
- hardcoding data for xprofile such as: xprofile_get_field_data(4,3053)
- include_once to the plugins page that contains the function
- using add_action(“bp_loaded”, “my_function”). (Didn’t fire my function)
- I get “TRUE” if testing if (function_exists(‘xprofile_get_field_data’))
What else can I be doing? Seems simple enough, yet, doesn’t want to work.

You are making some basic mistake.
You shouldn’t need to create an instance of bp
Try using the bp_ready hook instead of bp_loaded.
Instead of $bp->loggedin_user->id use bp_loggedin_user_id() or get_current_user_id()
You don’t say where you are trying to use it in your child theme.
Why not use pastebin to share the section of code that is not working?
Use var_dump rather than echo to see what is really being returned.
Try your code in bp-custom.php

Hi Shane,

bp_ready worked! Thank you. I forgot to reply and say that it did work.
