Featured photo in profile header / Specific fields in profile header

Featured photo in profile header
———————————————
I have put settings to show rtMedia photos in the profile header area. It works.

I now found a tutorial at rtmedia how to set featured photos instead of the new photos in the profile header area.
https://rtmedia.io/docs/developers/featured-media/
That’s an interesting option.

But I cannot get it to work. I have
put  a copy of member-header.php in sweetdate.child : members : single folder.
Is this correct, to begin with?

But even then, I cannot find the mentioned code segment to change

COPY CODE

    <?php if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) : ?>

Is there another way to do it?

Specific fields in profile header
———————————————

While reading the code in member-header.php I found

* If you’d like to show specific profile fields here use:
* bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=About Me’ ); — Pass the name of the field
*/
do_action( ‘bp_profile_header_meta’ );

This is an interesting option as well and I would like to try that too, to see what works better for me.
But I don´t know where to put, lets say in my case, those 5 fields

bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=COUNTRY );
bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=CITY’ );
bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=AGE / BIRTHDAY’ );
bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=I AM A’ );
bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=LOOKING FOR’ );

Before this line?
do_action( ‘bp_profile_header_meta’ );

Do I have to select something in these settings for the custom fields to show?

Hi,

YEs the path it’s correct ( wp-content/themes/sweetdate-child/members/single ).

This part of code isn’t part of our theme

COPY CODE

<span class="pl-s1">    <span class="pl-k"><</span>?<span class="pl-c1">php</span> <span class="pl-k">if</span> ( bp_is_active( <span class="pl-s"><span class="pl-pds">'</span>activity<span class="pl-pds">'</span></span> ) ) : </span><span class="pl-pse"><span class="pl-s1">?</span>></span>

The guidance from rtmedia site it applies only for wp default theme, where you want to run that code ?

Anyways the sweetdate theme already has a photos tab

You can use those codes “” in same file member-header.php

But make sure to have exact name fields like you have added in wp-admin -> users -> profile fields.

Cheers
R.

Thanks Radu, understood. I can show both. “About” me and “My Photos” in the member header. Great. I was not aware of that.

But somehow it seems I do something wrong with the code.

I put this in member-header.php (in the child folder) but it still displays ALL fields. Is it because all my fields are (deliberately) in the primary group?

Can I not only select SOME fields from the primary group?

Here is the code I am using (the names are correct).

<?php
/***
* If you’d like to show specific profile fields here use:
* bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=About Me’ ); — Pass the name of the field
*/
bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=AGE / BIRTHDAY’ );
bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=COUNTRY’ );
bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=CITY’ );
bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=I AM A’ );
bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=LOOKING FOR’ );
bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=HEIGHT’ );
bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=WEIGHT’ );
bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=POSITION’ );
do_action( ‘bp_profile_header_meta’ );
?>

Hi,

By default, the fields from Base (primary group) are displayed on about me section from the profile

If you want to display a certain one use from example : member-header.php file under user nicename or wehere you need, it works i’ve tested on my local install.

Cheers
