Hi Dear Buddypress Membership Plugin Users,

Hope you are doing well and have happy days with your family 🙂  Based no an amazing users feature request, we just released BuddyPress Membership Plugin 4.0.2, in this version we added a new “Buddypress Profile Field Visibility Control by User Roles” addon to support hide BuddyPress profile fields:

BuddyPress Profile Field Visibility Control By User Roles

A few users told me they do not hope buddypress members profile filed be viewed by public users, for example, members’ name, age, sex, address… and so on. But as you know, in buddyrpess profile page,  everyone can view other guys profile fields, because in buddypress, all fields will be settings as “Every One” by defailt, of course,  profile owner can edit their profile fields one by one, but many user will ignored these settings because they are too busy to learn each options in buddypress settings panel, that’s why we created this one-click solution for buddypress community owners, it is very easy to hide profile fields based on user roles:

In back end, You will find the “Profile Field Visibility Control by User Roles Addon” Addon in buddypress members only “Addon” menu item, it looks like this:

If you enabled “buddypress Profile Field Visibility Control by User Roles” Addon, you will a new buddypress members only menu “Profile Field Visibility”

If you click the “Profile Field Visibility” menu item, you will open “BuddyPress Profile Field Visibility Setting” panel, it loks like this:

In the “BuddyPress Profile Field Visibility Setting” panel, you will find we have listed all users roles for you with a accordion effect,  please click any one user role item, you will find “BuddyPress Profile Field Visibility” option in expanded window, you can choose to “Hide BuddyPress Members Profile Field For This User Role” or “Enable BuddyPress Members Profile Field For This User Role”

If you chose “Hide BuddyPress Members Profile Field For This User Role”, in front end, users belonging to this user role will not have permission to open users’ profile pages.

Actually in front end, when they click users profile tab, they will not see any profile fields in profile page, even the “Name” field, by this way, you can build a comfortable & safe private buddypress community for buddypress users, users’ privacy be respected.

Also they can not edit their “profile visibility” option in buddypress “Settings” tab.

Else it will decided by buddypress default standard functions.

You can find a demo at  my buddypress profile field demo page

You can find full feature details at Features of BuddyPress Membership Plugin

Just $12, you will have a powerful Buddypress Members Pro plugin, Unlimited Download, Lifetime Upgrades, Ticket Support

We are adding new features for wordpress buddypress members only plugin, you will see it soon 🙂

Thanks, have a blessed weekend with your family 🙂
