BuddyPress Profile Shortcodes

This plugin will allow shortcodes to be used to pull profile data. This plugin will require BuddyPress in order for it to work properly and to pull the information necessary.

In this version you can get a user’s display name, gravatar, email, or any information from a specified field.

You can also have this work well with BuddyPress Profile Custom Area or BuddyPress Profile GeoLocation. Feel free to check for any other premium plugins, including BuddyPress plugins, that we may have available for purchase at Extend.BT4.ME.

The following shortcodes are available:

[bp_profile_displayname]

• Shows the display name.
• Can have a parameter of user_id= to get it for a specific user.

[bp_profile_email]
