Enhance BuddyPress Profiles with BP Distance Search
BP Distance Search is a WordPress plugin designed to enhance BuddyPress extended profiles by integrating a Google Place Autocomplete field type. This feature allows administrators to create new profile fields that members can fill out on their Profile Edit page, facilitating a more detailed representation of user locations. The plugin streamlines the process of adding location-based data to user profiles, enhancing the overall functionality of BuddyPress.
In addition to creating profile fields, administrators can incorporate these new fields into a BuddyPress Profile Search form. This search form can be configured to utilize either a distance search mode or traditional text search modes, such as contains, is, or is like. This flexibility allows visitors to effectively search for members based on their locations, making networking within the platform more efficient.
