Hi,
Full sync should mean for all WordPress default profile fields, in contrast of the BuddyPress default sync that doesn’t fully sync everything.

My comment and question is that Full sync does NOT sync all WordPress default profile fields for example the Language field, in fact the number of fields was very small as far as I could see (name fields and description), so I wondered whether I had misunderstood something.
Sorry, I misunderstood. WordPress default profile fields are the ones you can found on the codex, and unfortunately they are really few:

There is no user language field. I suppose it was installed by some multilanguage plugin.

Hi, that’s not quite right:
– get currentuserinfo is a deprecated function since 4.5 according to the codex link you sent
– user language was introduced in WordPress 4.7 (though there was a plugin before that).
User Admin Languages and Locale Switching in 4.7
If you look at a current WordPress User Profile page Language appears in the Personal Options section just before the Name fields.
And in total the WordPress default user information is much larger than you suggest:
users
– ID
– user_login
– user_pass
– user_nicename
– user_email
– user_url
– user_registered
– display_name
user_meta
– first_name
– last_name
– nickname
– description
– wp_capabilities (array)
– admin_color (Theme of your admin page. Default is fresh.)
– closedpostboxes_page
– primary_blog
– rich_editing
– source_domain
Predefined Contact Info also includes:
Email (required)
Website
Google+
Twitter username (without @)
Facebook profile URL
[of which email and website url are part of the core users information in the main users table]
Obviously any functionality available in a free plugin is to be praised, it is really just the name “Full Sync” that causes confusion. Since the WordPress standard Contact Info and Personal Options sections etc are not included, anyone expecting a Full Sync would be disappointed.
Initially I started with metas by get_currentuserinfo(), then I wanted to exclude some of these meta fields because used by somebody wrong could compromise the WordPress functionality and its security (wp_capabilities for example).
BTW I can safely add language and socials in the upcoming beta.

cool, I look forward to testing the beta 👍
Just added language.
Socials where from some external plugin.
