Advanced XProfile Fields for BuddyPress

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I was looking for a plugin that would allow me to set a minimum character limit the multi-text fields for my Buddypress website. This plugin promised to do just that. On top of that it had 5/5 stars, and I was so happy that I finally found what I was looking for! Then I installed the thing. First of all it doesn’t allow you to show a member’s birthday as age which is what most users care about. Second, and most importantly, validation requirements don’t work. I’d set a minimum character limit, make sure it was saved, and then refresh the page and it would be gone! I went to the support section and saw someone else was having a similar problem 2 weeks ago and the author hadn’t fixed it. I also saw quite a few others with this problem and didn’t receive a resolution. I don’t expect much support for a free plugin but when basic functionalities are not working for many people its time for the author to take a look and try to fix the problem. If the other reviews are indeed real I’m glad it worked for them but it didn’t work for me and I uninstalled it. This topic was modified 6 years, 10 months ago by notright.

   Simple and easy to use. This plugin gives features that were in missing in Xprofile.

   Hi! It’s a great plugin! But he lacks one detail. Required – a parameter to specify which in order the column will be displayed in the admin user table.

   At the time of writing this, it still works great. I have no idea how you got Select2 to work so fast with taxonomies (it is so much slower with other applications, such as ACF). You must have some voodoo code, because it is lightening fast. Hope you do maintain.

   I can’t seem to fault your plugin, it addresses some of the most requested features with regards to xprofile fields. Thank you so much for your work! Oh and NICE! on the hide name feature from profile and registration 🙂
