Hi Mark,
Thank you for the question.

I am sorry to hear about this. BuddyBoss support is misguiding you If they said that you need to contact us for this. There is no difference between core xprofile fields and custom field types added by us when you are fetching the data.

Irrespective of how a profile field was added, you can access the data using xprofile_get_field_data(“Filed Name or ID”, $user_id). That will give you the data stored for that user in that specific field.

Here is a code sample that works for BuddyPress.

add_action( 'bp_directory_members_item', function() {

	$user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
	echo "About the user: ". xprofile_get_field_data("About", $user_id );
	echo "Field 2 value:". xprofile_get_field_data("Field 2", $user_id );
});

You will need to update this with your field names instead of About abd “Field 2”. I haven’t tested this snippet with BuddyBoss theme. Please give it a try and see if it works with their theme or not.
If not, you will need them to ask which hook to use instead of “bp_directory_members_item”. Rest of the code will remain same.

Hope that helps.

Hi Afshin,
You can put the code in your child theme’s functions.php
Or if you are using any php code snippet plugin, you can add it to that.

Hello,

Please try to switch to the default theme and check whether the profile data is showing.

Note: Please ensure you have updated the field name in the code as per your field name.
