[buddypress-dev] Profile Data Missing

[Jerome]

@ Anday

"*It should render the details for the blog owner. Basically, the ID for the
user that has defined that blog as their primary blog. Your primary blog has
a user icon next to the tab in the admin area. That is where your profile
details will show. I believe I'm right in thinking a blog can only have one
primary user assigned to it?"*

But unfortunately, I found it is possible to assign a blog as the primary
blog to many users, I  just tried it on my wpmu v1.5.1 site, in this case, "
*blog owner -* *the ID for the user that has defined that blog as their
primary blog"* mechanism will get problem.
