## Description

The Buddypress xProfile Rich Text Field plugin adds a Rich-text Editor custom field
type to Extended Profiles in BuddyPress.

Please note: this plugin is no longer required because its functionality has been
implemented since BuddyPress 2.4. Having said that, if you already have data in 
xProfile fields of this type, you will need to keep this plugin active. See:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5625

If you are using BuddyPress 2.0+ and your theme does not use compatibility mode (
i.e it supplies its own BuddyPress template files) then you will have to update 
your theme’s `members/single/profile/edit.php` and `registration/register.php` (
or `members/register.php`) templates so that they match the new way of displaying
xProfile fields. You can refer to the relevant BuddyPress files to see how that’s
now being done. These are `bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile/
edit.php`
 and `bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php`.

## Installation

 1. Extract the plugin archive
 2. Upload plugin files to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

### 󠀁[the plugin has missed up my site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-plugin-has-missed-up-my-site/)󠁿

 [stanleyuroy11](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stanleyuroy11/) September 3, 2016

BP Xprofile Member Type Field (1.0.0 version) has rendered some parts of my home
page unreachable thus un-editable. My home page is long. However, i am can only 
access 3/4 of the page from the backend or admin section It is a good plugin i did
not expect this. I only found out it the was this plugin after i ran debug to find
out what was happening. What is the solution to sort this out?
