    Hi, I really need help setting up locations using BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types.

    Where do I put these fields
    The geocode will be saved in the usermeta table in this format:

    meta_key = geocode_[field id]
    meta_value = [latitude], [longitude]

    or do I need to get a google map api and if so where does code go?

    I looked in the docs and could not find a tutorial.

    Thank you
    Kim

    I found a location plugin that was put in the website before I took it over. Does the Google Place Autocomplete work in a search for people to find others near by or within so many miles of them?

    Thank you

    Sorry to keep posting on this but I found other post on this topic which said to use BP xProfile Location. No matter if I use BP xProfile Location or the Google Place Autocomplete all that happens is when I click the box on the profile it’s a list of Exclamation points. thank you for an advice you can give me

    Hi Kim,
    Thank you for the questions.

    Please link me to the plugins. It does not seem to be from us. Still, I will be glad to look into it and assist.

    I have BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types and I added in BP xProfile Location https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-xprofile-location/

    When I pick the field type as location is give me these instruction
    The geocode will be saved in the usermeta table in this format:

    meta_key = geocode_[field id]
    meta_value = [latitude], [longitude]

    I missed part the the instruction

    Do you want this field to save a geocode for each member?

    Pick Yes or No

    The geocode will be saved in the usermeta table in this format:

    meta_key = geocode_[field id]
    meta_value = [latitude], [longitude]

    You can then use the geocode in your mapping solution.
    Or use a solution like BP Maps for Members.
    For Groups Maps, see BP Maps for Groups.
