I hope that buddypress profile fields works very similarly to user_meta, I tried many combinations from this website and nothing works for me - (the name of the field in buddypress profile is Phone - group_id=5&amp;field_id=59 - this is the slug from edit profile page :<br /> This is the example which doesn't work in functions.php<br /> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;form_field_value_phone&quot;, &quot;populate_phone&quot;); function populate_phone() { $current_user = wp_get_current_user(); $current_user_id = $current_user-&gt;ID; $phone = bp_profile_field_data( array(&#39;user_id&#39;=&gt;$current_user_id,&#39;field&#39;=&gt;&#39;Phone&#39; )); return $phone; } ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>Can you help me to get it work ? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-i-pre-populate-or-call-from-buddypress-profile-data#post-27750 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 16:54:54 +0000 oulab 27750@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm trying pre-populate a form field with Gravity form.

You can, however, use the <strong>gform_pre_render</strong> hook to do this. Try this:</p> <p><a href="http://pastie.org/1432081" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/1432081</a></p> <p>Very similar to what you're doing for single input population, but here we're creating an array is required to populate drop down fields.</p> <p>The example output of the code above is something like this: <a href="http://grab.by/8dtR" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/8dtR</a> -- I'm not sure exactly what other options you want for your drop down so I put three of the same just so you could see what multiple options would look like.
