Hi buddydev team,

I used the code below to add the country field to my buddypress extended profile fields.

<?php
/**
 * If you are using BP 2.1+, this will insert a Country selectbox.
 * Add the function to bp-custom.php and then visit .../wp-admin/users.php?page=bp-profile-setup
 */

function bp_add_custom_country_list() {
 
	if ( !xprofile_get_field_id_from_name('Country') && 'bp-profile-setup' == $_GET['page'] ) {
 
		$country_list_args = array(
		       'field_group_id'  => 1,
		       'name'            => 'Country',
		       'description'	 => 'Please select your country',
		       'can_delete'      => false,
		       'field_order' 	 => 2,
		       'is_required'     => false,
		       'type'            => 'selectbox',
		       'order_by'	 => 'custom'
 
		);
 
		$country_list_id = xprofile_insert_field( $country_list_args );
 
		if ( $country_list_id ) {
 
			$countries = array(

			foreach (  $countries as $country ) {
				
				xprofile_insert_field( array(

					'parent_id'		=> $country_list_id,
					'type'			=> 'option',
					'name'			=> $country,
					'option_order'   	=> $i++
				));
				
			}
 
		}
	}
}
add_action('bp_init', 'bp_add_custom_country_list');

I am trying to delete the field but I cannot. I removed the code but the field is still there. I also tried to hide the field using a css code; a part of the field is just hiden and after removing the css code, the hiden part did not come back.

It seems that the matter is on the fact that can_delete is put to false ( 'can_delete' => false) in country_list_arg array; I did not care about that.

So, how can I delete it? I am asking for your help please.

Regards

Nestor
