   On the registeration page, it asks the user to enter in Occupation and Interest.

   I want to completely remove these fields.

   How?

   That's not standard... did you add a plugin to support this? If so, turning off the plugin should do the trick. :-)

   No plugin.

   It's a clean RC install.

   Ah I added some extra stuff to my profile using a plugin, so had always assumed Occupation and Interest were part of the plugin!

   Doing more research now...

   Thanks, I'm looking into the database right now myself. ;)

   If you find anything, please let me know. Back to looking myself

   Hmm ... looks like it's hardcoded in the bb-include/functions.bb-core.php

   /meta_key => (required?, Label, hCard property). Don't use user_{anything} as the name of your meta_key.
   function bb_get_profile_info_keys( $context = null ) {
   return apply_filters( 'get_profile_info_keys', array(
   'first_name' => array(0, __('First name')),
   'last_name' => array(0, __('Last name')),
   'display_name' => array(1, __('Display name as')),
   'user_email' => array(1, __('Email'), 'email'),
   'user_url' => array(0, __('Website'), 'url'),
   'from' => array(0, __('Location')),
   'occ' => array(0, __('Occupation'), 'role'),
   'interest' => array(0, __('Interests')),
   ), $context );
   }

   Anyone know of a good way to remove Occupation and Interests without having to modify the bb-core.php file (to make future upgrading easier)

   In case anyone is curious, I created the following plugin to remove the Occupation and Interests user profile meta data.

   <?php

   /*
   Plugin Name: My Profile Fields
   Description: My profile fields for my lovely forums
   Version 1.0
   */

   function my_profile_fields( $fields ) {

   unset( $fields['occ'] ); /* removes the Occupation profile field: */

   unset( $fields['interest'] ); /* removes the Interests profile field: */

   return $fields;

   }

   add_filter( 'get_profile_info_keys', 'my_profile_fields' );

   ?>

   Ah ok, that looks pretty similar to johnbillion's plugin. Glad it worked out. :-)
