BuddyPress Private Community Pro 4
Profile Visibility Lock
As the plugin provides [ Profile Visibility Lock ] setting for members to set the profile visibility level, the plugin needs to override the BuddyPress default members home template, but if you are using a theme that already overrides BuddyPress templates than you may not be able to see the desired structure of members page which your theme uses as the plugin uses buddypress core template file. To solve the issue you may need to copy the structure from your theme/buddypress/members/single/home.php to plugins override file. Please follow the following steps to accomplish the task.
- Search in your theme directory that if there is a file present at the path BuddyPress/members/single/home.php file.
- If the file is present in parent theme copy the home.php file content and place it inside the buddypress-private-community-pro/templates/members/single/home.php.
- Once you copy theme’s file to the plugin’s file, add $blpro_prof_visib = apply_filters( ‘blpro_profile_visility_home_override’, $visib = true ); after do_action( ‘bp_before_member_body’ );.
- Now, you are supposed to find and replace the following content.
Find the following content in the home.php file :
- if ( bp_is_user_front() ) :
- bp_displayed_user_front_template_part();
- elseif ( bp_is_user_activity() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/activity’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_blogs() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/blogs’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_friends() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/friends’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_groups() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/groups’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_messages() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/messages’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_profile() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/profile’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_forums() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/forums’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_notifications() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/notifications’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_settings() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/settings’ );
- // If nothing sticks, load a generic template
- else :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/plugins’ );
- endif;
Wrap above content with an if condition like below:
- if ( $blpro_prof_visib ) {
- if ( bp_is_user_front() ) :
- bp_displayed_user_front_template_part();
- elseif ( bp_is_user_activity() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/activity’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_blogs() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/blogs’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_friends() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/friends’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_groups() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/groups’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_messages() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/messages’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_profile() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/profile’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_forums() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/forums’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_notifications() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/notifications’ );
- elseif ( bp_is_user_settings() ) :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/settings’ );
- // If nothing sticks, load a generic template
- else :
- bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/plugins’ );
- endif;
- }
Once you replace the content you will be able to see the results generated by the plugin. Suppose if a member A has set Profile Visibility to friends only then a member B who is not a friend of A will see a message like below if he/she tries to access member A’s profile.

BuddyPress Profile Pro 6
Introduction BuddyPress Profile Pro
One of the heavily requested features by BuddyPress community was the ability to add Repeater Fields or groups of fields dynamically to front-end forms, without having a predefined number.
BuddyPress Profile Pro gives you the power to extend BuddyPress Profiles with repeater fields and groups. You can easily add multiple field groups and display them at member’s profile. These groups can be repeater groups like Education, Work history and lots more.
You can also have repeater fields like multiple phone number, multiple website URLs, skills sets with multiple values.
Get a key for Google Places API Web Service
The Google Places API Web Service uses an API key to identify your application. Including a key in your request allows you to monitor your application’s API usage in the Google API Console, enables access to generous free daily quota, and ensures that Google can contact you about your application if necessary. For more information, see Google API Console help.
- Standard API customers need an API key set up in a project of your choice.
- Google Places API customers with a Premium Plan license need an API key set up in the Google Maps Premium Project (the project created for you when you ordered the Google Maps APIs Premium Plan). If you have not yet purchased access to the API, please contact sales.

How to add multiple education groups
Education field group is added as repeater fieldset and you can add all your education history one by one.
Front View of the Extended Fields
Extended Fields tab is created under the Profile Menu section for saving fields data.
* sign adjacent to the field labels represents that the field is required.
Profile Fieldsets Option
Initially, the plugin provides three profile groups set.
- Education
- Professional Experience
- Contact Details
Site admin can add, edit, delete the groups. All the groups related setting is provided under Groups Settings section.
Group Settings Option
Group Title: Site admin can set the group title for the group of fields. Saved group title will be shown at Extended Fields tab ( tab at buddypress profile page where site members can set up their profile groups.) and BuddyPress Profile View tab.
Group Description: Description of the group meant for admin use. The description is shown while adding new fields in the groups at Fields Settings tab.
Display group at BuddyPress Profile: Admin can disable group at any point of time and the group will be available to members for filling data. The setting lets admin select whether he/she wants to make group available to members.
Repeater: This is the most useful feature for the buddypress profile using which site members can save data sets. For eg: While saving Education, we need to save multiple sets for qualifications. With the help of repeater groups, you can achieve this task and sort the problem of repeater datasets in buddypress.
On the right side of the Group Settings page, an Add New Group form is provided using which a new group can be created easily.
