BP xProfile WordPress User Sync Plugin

IMPORTANT: This plugin is not needed if you have BuddyPress 8.0.0 or greater. If you are upgrading to BuddyPress 8.0.0 and already have this plugin installed, please upgrade via FTP/SFTP and then visit this plugin’s “Migration Page” to switch to using built-in BuddyPress xProfile Fields.

The BP xProfile WordPress User Sync plugin is useful when you have a BuddyPress network in which you want to make sure that users enter values for First Name and Last Name rather than rely on the more freeform default Name field that BuddyPress provides.

The plugin replaces the default BuddyPress xProfile Name field with two fields called (surprisingly) First Name and Last Name. These field values are kept in sync with the corresponding WordPress user profile fields as well as the BuddyPress xProfile Name field itself.

Plugin Updates

The best way to update this plugin is to replace the folder with the latest version via FTP/SFTP or similar. This avoids the deactivate-reactivate process.

Plugin Deactivation

Please note: because there is no way to hide xProfile fields, all field definitions associated with this plugin are deleted when it is deactivated. The field data itself is not deleted and the plugin makes an attempt to reconnect the existing data to the new field definitions when it is reactivated. Always back up your database before deactivating this plugin.

Plugin Development
