xprofile custom fields plugin

[darunia77]

Hey guys. I’m running a dating site using Kleo. Although I have built several wordpress sites before this is my first buddypress type site so it’s definitely a learning curve on functionality.

I have been using a plugin called Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type to generate additional fields for my members to fill out as I need their locations, gender, what they’re looking for etc.

https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/

Now you might have heard that this plugin is no longer supported by WordPress and has not been updated in a year so it’s a question of time when it breaks with new WP updates. There is nothing like it, as far as I know. Which is a big problem. I know it will affect many people who are using it.

Is there an alternative that you suggest or is there something you can do as a Kleo feature which allows for me or other Kleo users to add those fields to BP profiles? I also need them to link up to Paid Memberships Pro, to enforce my members to fill out those fields at sign up and currently PMPro have a set up for this – by customizing php to connect existing xprofile fields to their registration form.

I’m at a stage where I will soon start charging subscription for my site, and I want to use PMPro for those subscriptions but I am worried this xprofile fields plugin will break when I’m not expecting it and my people won’t be able to fill out the forms or look up members by those criteria.

I feel like this should be a standard bp feature somehow but it’s not and I don’t know of any alternative resources.

Can you please advise me what my options are?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

You can find the plugin there : https://github.com/donmik/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type

Maybe it was delisted from wordpress plugin repository because it’s no longer maintained.

There is no pre-made code for what you need, but maybe using this plugin will help : https://wordpress.org/plugins/pmpro-register-helper/

Cheers
