If so, then maybe there isn't a value being passed to that variable from your BP code. If it doesn't work, then something is configured wrong, and we'd have to figure out what. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populating-buddypress-profile-fields#post-281105 Mon, 27 May 2013 13:29:28 +0000 tatertot 281105@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for the quick reply David.
