Hello, try adding this to your functions.php of child theme

COPY CODE

function filtered_profile_data( $args ) {



	$data = bp_get_member_profile_data( $args );



	$defaults = array(

		'field'   => false,   // Field name

		'user_id' => $user_id

	);



	$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );

	extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );



	switch($field) {

		case 'About':

			$len = 200;

			break;

		default:

			$len =20;

			break;

	}



	echo  substr( $data, 0, $len);

	

	$words = array_slice( explode( ' ', $data), 0, $len );

	

	echo implode( ' ', $words );

}

Let me know if it works 🙂
