Keep “Select Page” selected here, if you don’t want to map ARMember page with BuddyPress Profile page.

Sync will happen only if you have mapped ARMember fields with BuddyPress fileds and saved settings successfully. please note that this is one time process. It is helpful only when you want to push ARMember user data to BuddyPress OR Pull user data to ARMember from BuddyPress to sync ARMember and BuddyPress.

There are two sync actions provided as below:

  • Pull Data from BuddyPress : If this action is selected, then all mapped ARMember fields will be filled with respective mapped BuddyPress field values.
