The Buddypress xProfile Rich Text Field plugin adds a Rich-text Editor custom field type to Extended Profiles in BuddyPress.
Please note: this plugin is no longer required because its functionality has been implemented since BuddyPress 2.4. Having said that, if you already have data in xProfile fields of this type, you will need to keep this plugin active. See:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5625
If you are using BuddyPress 2.0+ and your theme does not use compatibility mode (i.e it supplies its own BuddyPress template files) then you will have to update your theme’s <code>members/single/profile/edit.php</code> and <code>registration/register.php</code> (or <code>members/register.php</code>) templates so that they match the new way of displaying xProfile fields. You can refer to the relevant BuddyPress files to see how that’s now being done. These are <code>bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php</code> 
and <code>bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php</code>.

Adds Shortcode for BuddyPress XProfile data
For quick reference, here is a list of example shortcodes:
Reference field by ID in case name changes: 
[xprofile field=12]
Output city using default user detection (currently displayed BP profile, fallback to author of current page/post, fallback to currently logged in user): 
[xprofile field=”City”]
Output city for a specific user by ID or username: 
[xprofile field=”City” user=20] 
[xprofile field=”City” user=”someusername”]
Override the default user detection by specifying method: 
Output city for the currently logged in user (blank if no user is logged in): 
[xprofile field=”City” user=current]
Output city for the author of the current page/post being viewed: 
[xprofile field=”City” user=author]
Output city for the currently displayed BuddyPress profile: 
[xprofile field=”City” user=displayed]
