The Profile Data Loop / bp_has_profile()

Codex Home → Developer Docs → Custom BuddyPress Loops → The Profile Data Loop / bp_has_profile()

The profile data loop is the most complex out of all the custom BuddyPress loops. It’s actually two loops in one, the first is to loop through profile field groups, and the second to loop through profile fields in that profile field group.

Standard Loop

<?php if ( bp_has_profile() ) : ?>
  <?php while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>

    <ul id="profile-groups">
    <?php if ( bp_profile_group_has_fields() ) : ?>

      <li>
        <?php bp_the_profile_group_name() ?>

        <ul id="profile-group-fields">
        <?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?>

          <?php if ( bp_field_has_data() ) : ?>
          <li>
            <?php bp_the_profile_field_name() ?>
            <?php bp_the_profile_field_value() ?>
          </li>
          <?php endif; ?>

        <?php endwhile; ?>
        </ul>
      <li>

    <?php endif; ?>
    </ul>

  <?php endwhile; ?>

<?php else: ?>

  <div id="message" class="info">
    <p>This user does not have a profile.</p>
  </div>

<?php endif;?>
