Hi @emmanuel,

Thanks for contacting us today about limiting fields. You can use this plugin to limit the characters of profile fields (as well as other options) https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-xprofile-fields-for-buddypress/.

You can also use the below snippet in WP Admin > SweetDate > General Settings > Scroll to: ‘Analytics Code’

COPY CODE

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('#field_8').attr('maxlength', '140');
});
</script>

Change field_8 to suit your needs and 140 to the number of characters you wish to limit it to. You can identify the ID for the field by right clicking it and selecting inspect. If you would like me to extract ID for you then please update the ticket with login credentials and tell me specifically which field you wish to limit.

Thanks,

Kieran.

when i paste the snippet in WP Admin > SweetDate > General Settings > Scroll to: ‘Analytics Code’ it is’nt working and i have download and actitvate the plugin and don’t know where to find the setting

Hi,

Did you update the snippet with the correct ID for the field?

As for the plugin you will find the settings in each individual field, so you would need to go to WP Admin > Users > Profile Fields > Select: Desired field and then scroll down to the new settings (see screenshot).

30 characters

[Kieran_SQ]

Hi,

I logged into your site and set a max value of 30 characters for each of the fields under the tabs ‘about me’ and ‘what i am looking for’. It seems like the plugin I referred you to is no longer compatible with the latest version of BuddyPress / WordPress and did not apply the limit that I had set.

Using my above snippet I was also unable to limit the fields inputs, therefore I am going to ask one of our developers to look into this for you. They’ll be in touch as soon as they can, Mon to Fri, East Europe Time.

Thank you for your patience,

Kieran.

Hi,

Please ask this on the buddypress forums since the the question it’s related to the Buddypress plugin.Also i don’t have any quick solution for that.
