I understand and thank you for doing this. I will contact a developer.

When you have added additional profile fields. It is much more user friendly for our buddypress website when users can change everything on one page. Rather than have an extra page just to change their email.

And another reason is that with xprofile users can have several email addresses. Such as the .edu school email, their private email and even their work email for alumni. By using the default email setting page, buddypress only allows users to change 1 of them. While with xprofile you can have all 3 on one page.

I am not a programmer, but I can image that if a plugin syncs usersnames it should not be a very big change to also sync email or any other field.

It is not. There are 2 emails in BuddyPress.

One is when the user edits its profile from the backend and the other one is the email that is in the extended profile. This one can be edited by users from the font-end.

When users change their extended profile email in the front-end, the normal profiel email (which wordpress and buddypress use to send emails to) does not get changed.

Hi,

Thank you, but I don’t understand how that link we help me.

Thank you. I did try this and it will always show the current month + date, instead of the birthday and month..

Also users can still select a year when editing their profile and I do not want them to select a year.

If I manually hide the year by removing it in bp-xpprofile-custom-fields-type.php then it will not save when they edit their page.
