The newly added BuddyPress field types are:- * Birthdate. * Image. * File. * Checkbox acceptance. * Country field. * From/To field(can be used to show 2 numbers or text strings). * Token (can be used to set a list of predefined approved codes for registration etc). * oEmbed ( allow your users to use youtube/facebook, vimeo and other oembed supporting urls to embed in their profile). * [Email](http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/input.email.html).* [Web](http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/input.url.html). * [Datepicker](http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/NOTE-html-markup-20130528/input.date.html).* Custom post type selector. * Custom post type multiselector. * [Colorpicker](http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/NOTE-html-markup-20130528/input.color.html).* Decimal number. * Number within min/max values. * Custom taxonomy selector. * Custom taxonomy multiselector. * Range input (slider) * [Select2 javascript plugin](https://select2.github.io/) for select boxes. BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types is 100% compatible with [BP Profile Search plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-search/). At the moment, following fields are searchable using BP Profile Search:- * Birthdate* Datepicker * Color * Email * Web * Number Min/Max * Range Input * Decimal Number* Country Other fields such as post type, taxonomy etc., are not searchable as they are stored in serialized format( due to back compatibility). The plugin is opensource and currently developed on github. We welcome you to be part of its future development at [https://github.com/buddydev/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types](https://github.com/buddydev/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types). Discuss the plugin on our [release post](https://buddydev.com/add-extra-buddypress-profile-fields-with-buddypress-xprofile-custom-field-types-plugin/) or view the plugin’s [detailed documentation here](https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types/). The idea is based on @donmik’s plugin. This plugin is a complete rewrite. Some field type do share code with the original plugin. My guess, we are using 20-30% of the code for field types from the original. In the future, we hope to add more fields. **Note: This plugin is not 100% backward compatible** It is very easy to migrate. Should take less than 5 minute. If you are looking to move from the older plugin to this one, please read our [migration guide](https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types/#migrate). **Note 2: The Custom taxonomy field does not allow you to categorize users. They allow you to let users select some terms and display the terms on their profile. It is not intended for classifying user #### Credit [@donmik](http://donmik.com) for the [BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields Type](https://github.com/donmik/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type) from where we adopted the field types in our first version. In the first version, te plugin brought all the profile fields offered by the currently abandoned The [“BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields Type”](https://github.com/donmik/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type) plugin. #### More Plugins We love BuddyPress, and we have created 100+ BuddyPress plugins.

But since we will be in year 2026 soon, It would be so great if we can add social media URLs with their icons showing up, not just URLs as Web links! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c99281b63a264895c1ea0b28742b99c87c1a193ae3e3db3455b104122e84cbe7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Search Filter on Country Field](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-filter-on-country-field/)󠁿 [anass4s](https://profiles.wordpress.org/anass4s/) January 17, 2024 How can I add search filter on Country field?

However, the tags field is horrible and basically useless. Instead of implementing tags in a way similar to Wordpress’s tags, this plugin’s tags field is completely different and not very useful. The tag field doesn’t seem to allow users to add new tags, even though it’s supposed to, but using a select2 to manage tags is a problem when you have a lot of users. The plugin should be using just a plain textarea and have users comma separate their tags, just like Wordpress core does. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/98a9361ee2b1396c45c1a1ee89d02e9490b17714e7b69ba65fcd268c883ceb3b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good plugin, good support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-good-support-86/)󠁿 [jaroslawistok](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jaroslawistok/) October 30, 2022 1 reply Good plugin, good support, even if we couldn’t solve the problem 🙂 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/dfc9067357c1fbd79e9a2934133f05b2b39863d64c1383fd4066eeb449edcb62? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[MANDATORY FOR SOCIAL ACTIVITY – TOP EXCELLENT SUPPORT](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mandatory-for-social-activity-top-excellent-support-2/)󠁿 [giuseppe2016](https://profiles.wordpress.org/giuseppe2016/) April 25, 2022 I have used this plugin to build a much more complex registration form. Said that, what is necessary to know about BuddyDev is their TOP EXCELLENT SUPPORT for customer that buy the yearly support included in the full serie of plugin (it’s impossible to imagine to build a Buddypress social network without at least 10 of their plugin). I STRONGLY recommend to use this plugin and the excellent support they provide to any Buddypress website developer.
