The CiviCRM WordPress Profile Sync plugin keeps the "First Name", "Last Name", "Email Address" and "Website" fields of a WordPress (and BuddyPress) user profile in sync with the corresponding fields of a CiviCRM contact. The synchronisation takes place regardless of whether the changes are made in WordPress, BuddyPress or CiviCRM.
This plugin requires a minimum of WordPress 3.9 and CiviCRM 4.6-alpha1. It also requires BuddyPress 1.8 and the BP XProfile WordPress User Sync plugin for syncing data with BuddyPress profiles.
For versions of CiviCRM prior to 4.6-alpha1, this plugin requires the corresponding branch of the CiviCRM WordPress plugin plus the custom WordPress.php hook file from the CiviCRM Hook Tester repo on GitHub so that it overrides the built-in CiviCRM file. Please refer to the each repo for further instructions.
There are two ways to install from GitHub:
If you have downloaded CiviCRM WordPress Profile Sync as a ZIP file from the GitHub repository, do the following to install and activate the plugin and theme:
- Unzip the .zip file and, if needed, rename the enclosing folder so that the plugin's files are located directly inside
/wp-content/plugins/civicrm-wp-profile-sync - Activate the plugin
- You are done!
If you have cloned the code from GitHub, it is assumed that you know what you're doing.
