    Hello all, i’m happy to be back after a lot of years. The project is… i have 10 xprofiles fields “places i love”. Place1, Place2…. and so on. Is there a way to transfer all of the places to a google map? Then i try a new tab to the user profile named “Places i love” to show the map.
    I have check some plugins with no luck.
    Thank a lot.

    Hi giannisff,

    I think that would require some custom coding. I’ve not seen anything like this, of course I may have missed something.

    However I did something similar using WP Google Maps and location based post meta. The main issue you would need to resolve would be to create the custom code that would take the xProfile locations and translate them to lat and long for the WP Google Maps markers. Pretty sure it’s doable but it would need a plugin built to do it.

    There used to be a plugin that would take a location of town,country and transfer it to a map that was displayed on the users profile. It does not work anymore though and does not do what you want but it might be worth a look for pointers, I’ll see if I can find it.

    This plugin looks like it could be very handy for your quest:

    BP xProfile Location

    @Venetius I would like to thank you for the effort you have made. I tried the plugins you suggested me, but unfortunately none have the desired effect.
    Can I ask something else please?
    I imagine that for you who have special knowledge will be quite simple. There is a way to add a field to the users post, for example a location and this field to end up on the map. So that all users posts can end up on a map.I try a plugin to add a field, ok but i can’t transfer it to frond end user profile.
    Thanks again for your time and your help.

    You’d need to write a plugin for it, the examples I found do similar things but are out of date, they could serve as a basis for the plugin.

    I have buddypress BP xProfile Location and a custom api to connect to https://www.wpgmaps.com. Id be happy to share it.

    Not sure if this would accomplish what you need though.

    @carlen, not the OP but if you could share your API I would be infinitely grateful

    The BP Maps for Members creates member maps based on data from the BP xProfile Location plugin.
    And it includes support for the BP Profile Search plugin.
