Support » Plugin: BP Profile Search » Privacy of “Only Me” profile fields

  • Resolved Nifty

    Hi,

    When a user modifies a profile field visibility to “Only Me”, it is still searchable using the BP Profile Search filters. For example, a user who lives in New York has the field visibility set to “Only Me” will still show up in the search results when someone searches for people living in New York.

    Is it possible for “Only Me” fields to not be searchable?

    Thanks.

    Hi Nifty,

    Thanks for your report.

    This feature (or bug fix?) is in my to-do list, but unfortunately I can’t find a reasonably simple way to code it.

    I’ve been waiting for BuddyPress to implement this, but right now even the standard BuddyPress member search ignores any field privacy settings.

    Hi Andrea,

    Thanks for your response and the information; do you know if this is a fix BuddyPress are already planning to implement?

    The BuddyPress ticket is here:

    but, as you can read in the discussion, the solution would be quite complex and there has been no progress in years.

    Hi Andrea,

    You’re right about it being complex!
    Thanks for your help and the link though; we really appreciate it. 🙂
