I'm trying to set a limit on the numbers of letters user can add to their xprofile fields in their BuddyPress profiles.

For example, in BIO field, max limit will be 300 letters.

Please give me complete code if you can, because I have read lots of article about it but couldn't manage to find a code that works.

Thank you, Shay.

  • Check out my answer at wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/262572/66711 - you can use a similar approach, just count the characters in $values instead of querying for identical values.

  • Alternatively if you have a custom field type you can try defining BP_XProfile_Field_Type::$validation_regex with a regex like /^.{0,300}$/.

Try this code, if it will helps:

function filtered_profile_data( $args ) {

$data = bp_get_member_profile_data( $args );

$defaults = array(
    'field' => false, // Field name
    'user_id' => $user_id
);

$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );

switch($field) {
    case 'Field Name': // for specific field character limit
    $max_len = 10;
    break;
    default:
    $max_len = 5;
    break;
}

echo substr( $data, 0, $max_len);

}
