I think it figured something out. The difference between my local machine and the server is the php version. The server was on PHP 7.2 and local machine was on PHP 7.0.3. Upgrading my local machine to PHP 7.1.4 or PHP 7.2 breaks the ‘only me’ visibility.

Short-term solution: I changed the Xprofile field type to text — seems to still be linking in the profile (whether the member types “https://” or “http://” or neither). And then I was able to manipulate the HTML and PHP to do what I wanted above (since the Blog Address is no longer formatted as a URL).

Update — looks like the errors I was seeing were from some sort of stray invisible characters at the end of the PHP file. Moving on. 🙂 Hopeful. 🙂

YES! That’s what I’ve been fiddling with, but I’m struggling to get it to work. As an example, one roadblock I found with BP Profile Search and Custom Directories, and it’s not set to work with Nouveau templates (which is what my site’s using).

Is there a tutorial you know of that would help me set up a template that would do this, and then I…[Read more]

No. Not using groups yet.
