searchable profile fields display ascii characters

[rweiss]

Every profile field that has an abbreviation or uses a character (like a single quote or quote) is displaying wiht the Ascii character. Like this:  Doesn' t Matter

If I make the field non-searchable than this issue goes away.

This issue only recently started happening. We have been using Sweetdate for 3-4 years.

You can log in as me (the info I submitted)

Then go to https://50plusconnects.com/members/50-admin/#looking-for

This is the 4th Profile tab. You will see it all down that row of fields.

It also does this on the About Myself tab if you make Height searchable. I turned off the searchable part of that to see if it stopped the ascii character encoding, which it does.

Hi,

I see there seems to be encoded, try to add the next filters in functions.php in child theme

add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'convert_chars' );
OR
add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'bp_xprofile_escape_field_data', 8, 3 );
OR both

COPY CODE

add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'convert_chars' ); 
add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'bp_xprofile_escape_field_data', 8, 3 ); 

OR

COPY CODE

function sq7_fix_16072917(){
add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'convert_chars' ); 
add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'bp_xprofile_escape_field_data', 8, 3 ); 
}
add_action('init', 'sq7_fix_16072917');

So if you remove from the profile My height is: field the encoding will stop ?

I tried every one of these options and it hasn’t made any difference.

Hi,

This it’s not caused by our theme it seems to be related to the BuddyPress itself.

Try to ask that in BuddyPress forums
