IMPORTANT: This plugin is not needed if you have <a href="https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2021/03/24/wordpress-xprofile-field-types/" rel="nofollow ugc">BuddyPress 8.0.0 or greater</a>. 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.
<h3>Plugin Updates</h3>
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.
<h3>Plugin Deactivation</h3>
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.
<h3>Plugin Development</h3>
This plugin is no longer in active development.

BP xProfile WordPress User Sync

Replaces the default BuddyPress xProfile Name field with First Name and Last Name fields and keeps these in sync with WordPress user profile fields.

This plugin works with both BuddyPress and the BuddyBoss Platform. It creates an xProfile Location field type that will use the Google Places API to populate and validate address fields on member profiles.
The result will be uniform and searchable addresses with a single input field.
In BuddyPress, you can create multiple Location fields via wp-admin > Users > Profile Fields > Add New Field
In BuddyBoss Platform, you can create multiple Location fields via wp-admin > BuddyBoss > Profiles > Profile Fields > Add New Field
The xprofile field for each member will be populated as a searchable string.
A latitude / longitude ‘geocode’ will be saved as a separate field, if that option was selected when the field was created.
You can then use the geocode in your preferred Member Map solution.
