Tagged: conditional profile fields, member types
Hi!
I am testing the ‘BP Member Type Generator’ plugin and observed the following.
1 – I have some ‘required fields’ (these are necessary to be required) but these fields apply only to specific member type(s). Using ‘Conditional Profile Fields for BuddyPress’, I have kept irrelevant fields hidden. Now these REQUIRED but HIDDEN fields are throwing the following error on form submission – “Please make sure you fill in all required fields in this profile field group before saving.”
2 – Instead of per field can ‘Conditional Profile Fields for BuddyPress’ work per field group? So for each member type there can be a dedicated field group. And, irrelevant groups can be kept hidden.
3 – ‘Conditional Profile Fields for BuddyPress’ is not working for ‘Multi Select Box’. I have double checked. There might be other type of fields that may not be working with the plugin.
3 – Do lots of plugins slow down a website? I wish there was 1 plugin for the following 4.
a – BP Member Type Generator
b – Xprofile Member Type Field
c – Conditional Profile Fields for BuddyPress
d – BuddyPress Non Editable Profile FieldsI will add more to this thread if I notice anything else.
Thank you
Hi Lavish,
Thank you for posting.1. It is how BuddyPress Works. It needs all the fields on registration to work. I can override the behavior but that will make the things complex.
2. I am thinking of that too. Seems easy(except that hiding the first group will be some trouble)
3. Please give me till 6th July to test/update this plugin.
3. No, Those are very very light weight plugins. Bloated/badly written plugins slows down the site. At BuddyDev, I can guarantee that we take it very seriously. There are some(1-2) plugins that consume memory/db calls, we have it mentioned on plugin page.
Hope the post clarifies.
@sbrajesh did you get sometime to check and fix the plugin? I seek the fix to the following problem.
‘Conditional Profile Fields for BuddyPress’ is not working for ‘Multi Select Box’. There might be other type of fields too that may not be working with the plugin.
Thank you for the help 🙂

Hi Lavis,
I am sorry about the delay. Though I want to update it, I am stuck with a project of mine. Since both the above plugins are written by me, @ravisharma is not updating them at the moment.I will need a few days(atleast till Thursday) to complete my other project and then dedicate time on this.
Thank you
BrajeshHello @sbrajesh
Can you help me with a temporary fix until there comes an update?
The recap :
‘Conditional Profile Fields for BuddyPress’ is not working for ‘Multi Select Box’. There might be other type of fields too that may not be working with the plugin.
Let me rephrase the issue :
If there is a multi select box field that I want to hide based on a previous choice by the users, the multi select box doesn’t go away.
Thank you
Hi Lavish,
I am sorry I could not find time. I will look at it tonight.Thank you
