Hello Jake,

The search results are displayed by BuddyPress in its Members directory, so the only way to change their display is to modify the BuddyPress Members directory template, see the procedure E) in:

https://dontdream.it/bp-profile-search/custom-directories/

I guess you modified the file members-loop.php to remove the last activity time. In the same file, look for this code:

<?php
 /***
  * If you want to show specific profile fields here you can,
  * but it'll add an extra query for each member in the loop
  * (only one regardless of the number of fields you show):
  *
  * bp_member_profile_data( 'field=the field name' );
  */
?>

that explains how to add specific profile fields. After the comment, add:

bp_member_profile_data( 'field=name_of_your_field' );

to display that field’s value (add one line for each field you wish to display).

If you wish to print the value of a profile field, you only need the name of that field. If the field name is ‘First Language’, you need:

bp_member_profile_data( 'field=First Language' );

Did you try that?

Hi Jake,

If a user didn’t fill the field ‘Summary’, nothing is displayed for that user, so make sure the field has a value or you won’t see anything printed out.

Then, to make sure you added the code in the right place, add an ‘echo’ statement to print something:

<?php
 /***
  * If you want to show specific profile fields here you can,
  * but it'll add an extra query for each member in the loop
  * (only one regardless of the number of fields you show):
  *
  * bp_member_profile_data( 'field=the field name' );
  */
 echo 'the value of Summary is: ';
 bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Summary' );
?>

You should see at least the output of the ‘echo’ statement.

Hi Jake,

If you send me a WP admin and an FTP access, I’ll take a look and I’ll try to fix it. You can send that info privately using my Contact page.

Yes, of course!
