City, State, Country Location Plugin

    I’ve searched for nearly a year before I finally found a solution to automatically adding location to sign up and profiles. I am now using Location Autocomplete for BuddyPress by BuddyBoss. It is a paid plugin but it is amazing. It uses Google’s API so all you do is type a letter and it will auto suggest. There were many requests over the years for a plugin like this. The only thing missing so far is a way to search by distance. If you’ve been searching give this plugin a try.

    That’s an interesting plugin. Do you know if the location fields are xProfile fields?

    Yes, it works with xProfile fields. You just set it as a text box. You can see it on my registration page. No need to join the site. Just type in the city box and it’ll populate.

    Nice @shanebp!

    Does the plugin support dependent fields? This kind of thing:

    Town
    City – auto populated based on value of Town
    Country – auto populated based on value of Town

    It’s a single field.
    Google will give you full address choices based on what you input.
    It also includes support for BP Profile Search.

    You can also get it here:

    That’s good because it makes the user location simple

    Thanks for the info!

    Do you know if in DB all these fields are one long string?
    I’m looking for same thing, but I want to search by several fields (BP profile search) and I don’t see how it works with it.

    Hello, I made a search by distance plugin based on BP Profile Search so we can search members in a range of kilometers. The geocoding is based on GeoNames database, it has an advantage for privacy by using self-hosted data instead of sending third-party requests to Google servers (which can also be blocked in some countries).
    If someone is interested, I am available as freelance developer, you can contact me here.
