Ive been searching all over for this. Ive tried plugins, etc and some info I come across here is very old…

Looking to add the members join date under the avatar so all members can see or somewhere in their profile page?

[@robkk Moderator 8 years, 8 months ago]

You can use something like this.

Add this php code snippet into your child themes functions.php file or add the function to a plugin like functionality.

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_author_details', 'rkk_add_register_date' );
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'rkk_add_register_date' );
function rkk_add_register_date() {{ ?>
  <span class="bbp-user-register-time">
    <?php printf( __( 'Member since: %s',    'bbpress' ),
    date( get_option( 'date_format' ), strtotime( get_the_author_meta( 'user_registered' ) ) )
    ); ?>
  </span>
<?php }}

Do I just copy and paste that in the functions.php file?

Thank you for the reply. 🙂

[@big-dave Participant 8 years, 7 months ago]

Yes, if a functions file exists, you would copy and past it there, anywhere before the closing php tag if there is one at the end of the functions file. You should see bunches of code in your functions.php file so you do not want to break up any group of code, just like the group above needs to be together with itself as he wrote it.

IF you do not have a functions.php file in your child theme, you can create one. Read up here to learn more. https://codex.wordpress.org/Functions_File_Explained

I got it to work in the forums. Thanks again. 🙂

Any way to add the join date within profiles?

[@robkk Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

Yeah I think it is better for profiles.

Add this hook to the function.

add_action( 'bbp_template_after_user_profile', 'rkk_add_register_date' );

I have a question on this method. I’m working on a site that’s currently not live yet and I used this snippit of code, and it worked great!

However the joined date for all my subscribed users profiles are all showing the same date and year as my admins profile. I set these users up as dummy profiles on the same computer I made the admin.

Does this have something to do with the IP address?

Thanks!

@theredheadhenry, did you create them all on the same day?

Add this php code snippet into themes functions.php file but did not happen any changes

[@ajtruckle Participant 5 years, 1 month ago]

I have just tried it and it works fine for me 🙂 I have it showing under their avatar info on the topic. Only thing I changed was “Member since:” -> “Date joined:”

Thanks for sharing @Robkk.

You can use the Ultimate Member plugin. I used at this site you can see the demo https://thietkewebsitebatdongsan.com.vn/

As already mentioned I have the information displayed with the functions code tweak. Thanks for the referral to the plugin though.
