Xprofiles / multisite

[Jill]

Hello,

I am trying to get xprofile fields to populate on the users multisite blog.

I was using UsersUltra Pro and sexy author bio to produce this effect:

Since migrating to Buddypress/Buddyboss users can’t update their (wp) author bio from the Buddyboss front end.

I have a xprofile field called ‘bio’ and have tried the following in a number of permutations.

I have the tesseract theme with the following edits:

shortcode.php

function bio() {
   global $bp;
$thisblog = $current_blog->blog_id;
$user_id_from_email = get_user_id_from_string( get_blog_option($thisblog, 'admin_email'));
$myfield = xprofile_get_field_data( 'bio', $user_id_from_email );
echo $myfield;

}
add_shortcode('bio', 'bio');

bp-custom.php

<?php

function xprofile_get_field_data($field_name = '', $echo = 1) {
  if( !$field_name ) {
    return false;
  }
  global $site_members_template;
  if( function_exists( 'xprofile_get_field_data' ) ) {
    $data = xprofile_get_field_data( $field_name, $site_members_template->member->id);
    if( $echo ) {
      echo "$data";
      return true;
    } else {
      return $data;
    }
  }
}

fuctions.php

include 'shortcodes.php';
// buddypress
include 'bp-custom.php';

What am I doing wrong?

I’m learning as a go, not to versed with php.

Thanks so much!
Justin
