How to display Buddypress profile field content within the post loop

February 17, 20233 Views

I have a Buddypress profile field called âBioâ, and Iâd like to display itâs content in the post footer, to show the authorâs bio.

Iâve tried

<?php bp_member_profile_data('field=Bio');?>

and

<?php echo xprofile_get_field_data( 'Bio' );?>,

but Iâm still pretty lost.

How can I do this ?

Well of course you would first want to get the current user ID:

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$current_user_id = $current_user->ID;

Then, as confirmed through Buddypress 1.5:

<?php bp_profile_field_data( array('user_id'=>$current_user_id,'field'=>'bio' )); ?>

For me, this worked in author boxes:

<?php bp_profile_field_data( array('user_id'=>get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ),'field'=>'NAME_OF_THE_FIELD' )); ?>
