Upload `bp-admin-only-profile-fields` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. ## FAQ How do I hide a profile field? In the WordPress admin area, go to _Users > Profile Fields_ and click _Edit_ on the desired profile field. Under the _Default Visibility_ panel select _Hidden_ as the value and click _Save_. The profile field is now hidden from all users except Administrators. How do I change who can view and edit the hidden field? Add the following filter to your theme’s functions.php file, substituting _edit\ _others\_posts_ with the desired capability: function custom_profile_fields_visibility(){ return ‘edit_others_posts’; // Editors } add_filter( ‘bp_admin_only_profile_fields_cap’,‘ custom_profile_fields_visibility’ ); ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/217b69c4f7e53197d5d925d993b66b392f242540b16758bcfd8eb0893e35f2f9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Still Works Well](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-works-well-7/)󠁿 [Andrew Tegenkamp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/andrewteg/) October 18, 2017 This still works great to allow admins to have profile fields that users cannot edit. It works by adding extra choices to the Visibility choice in the Add/Edit form under Users -> Profile Fields when Extended Profiles is turned on for BuddyPress. Seamless and functional!
