Hi all,
I want to add the option to sort the member directory results by distance using the users’ zip code. I found a piece of code in this post that does exactly that but the pagination is off and I haven’t been able to fix it. Does anyone know of a simple plugin or have code that does that?
Thanks in advance!

What disadvantage will I have if I just use Buddypress alone?

Hello I was wondering is you guys can help me out:

I want to build a member’s area (for a dating/matchmaking hybrid) where after registration (or during it, doesnt matter) they get a compatibility test. (doesnt matter if they are in a seperate page or as part of registration, they just need to integrate with everything else im gonna describe)

After they join they are directed to a page where they choose 2 paid levels of service and 1 free.
If they select a membership they pay and are redirected to a Consultation Appointment calendar and after that they become a free member (we manually upgrade them once the matchmaker approves in person) the free ones go straight to the member’s area as free.
Now unlike many sites, need to be able to restrict communication, the highest level (VIP) would have a video profile (with photo option) with his name age occupation and mile range (automatically there based on the other viewers location), the 3 best matches based on compatibility and a “Request button” that allows them to be requested for a date.
The requested then sees it in his activity field or wherever and accept or denies. If rejected the other member simply receives a notification, if accepted the accepting person gets a pop up (or other page doesnt matter) and sets Date, Time, and pickup location address, that is then notified to both parties and the administrators (we make arrangements for them).
The 3 best matches in a VIP profile have a request button too, however this invites them to a group date which they accept or deny just like a regular request.
They also will be notified by admins about major special events in a notification with the same Accept/Reject format, if so we are notified that they accepted. Regular members are not invited to the events.
Normal members can request, have a request button themselves, search the directory (more on that later) and pay for events they see in the Events tab, but they do not get invites to them, and they have to pay a fee.
Free members can only see people in the directory, nothing else, no events tab.
Events Calendar: there will be a tab in all paid members profile leading to an events calendar. if VIP the member simply selects the event and if interested clicks to attend (no payment). If non VIP a pop-up appears to make them pay a fee and after processing they are registered for the event.

Directory and Search page (either combined or separate): people should be able to search members based on profile parameters entered during registration/compatibility test (age, gender, etc etc, the fields for the search are the profile info) If combined they see all members and they can then filter out, if separate they use the parameters to bring up result.

Based on that:
I guess the ability to add custom tabs for events etc (in here its personal, mentions, favorite) basically to integrate that into functions.

Any i mean ANY advice will be appreciated, thanks to Varun for suggesting “Match me for Buddypress”
Anything else people have in regards to how to make this possible even if i have to create somethings outside of buddypress and then bring them back etc, workarounds, plugins, anything will be appreciated.
I don’t know if it’s allowed but if anyone can implement that for a reasonable fee, feel free to let me know how to contact you, but im looking for advice, anyone offering something has to give the plan at the risk of me implementing it and not taking services, services accepted would be out convenience due to time restraints (very urgent)

Thank you in advance and thank you for anyone who read this.

I’m looking for an Author Box that works with Buddypress and am coming up blank.

The best I’ve been able to find is a post with a bunch of code to add the author bio underneath a post. But what about in a widget in the sidebar? Has any progress been made on this/ I have I missed something? Would looove to integrate an Author Box with Buddypress.

Buddypress installs, but has no functionality.

Hosting on local server/system
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

php-curl php-gd php-mbstring php-xml
Wordpress 4.9.6
Buddypress 3.0.0

Fresh install of OS, WordPress, and Buddypress – The only plugin installed before Buddypress was ‘All In One WP Security’ (using only it’s default settings) to prevent bots/spam. De-activating WP Security plugin, and then uninstalling/reinstalling Buddypress does not solve the problem.

Wordpress – Directory install
Buddypress path – /user/share/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/

Wordpress works fine on it’s own – default WordPress theme Twenty-seventeen

* The following code was added to wp-config:
define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);
define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://MySiteName.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://MySiteName.com’);
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’);

* Buddypress: installs, activates, and creates it’s blank pages (Registration, Activation, Members, Activity…) but all pages return 404 errors.
* I do see the ‘Welcome to Buddypress’ splash page, and under Dashboard>Settings>Buddypress, all options are available, but have no effect on the installation. It’s as if Buddypress and WordPress are sharing the same space, but are not interacting. I do not find ‘Buddypress Theme’ in my dashboard either.

Thank you for your time.

Is there any way to show loading animation in buddypress pages just like facebook and also how can i show widgets in between the activity stream as it will be more responsive for mobile devices rather than scrolling to the bottom of the pages to see them. i am using buddypress 2.9.4 with latest wordpress version
