    Hi I want to be able to include distance/proximity in my search form.

    I found this Kleo extension to Geo my WP:

    https://geomywp.com/extensions/kleo-geolocation/

    Do I need anything more than the two plugins (my geo + the extension) to achieve this feature?

    The reason i ask is becuase i can see another extension:

    https://geomywp.com/extensions/xprofile-fields/

    This seems to be similar. Do I need this one too?

    I also have two more questions:

    1) Am I able to have BP searches for other profile fields e.g. specialisation, gender, etc. in conjuntion with proximity?

    2) Am I able to get the Members loop page to display members autoamtically by distance without the user having to search for it?

    Hi,

    I have never used any of the Geo My WP plugins or add-ons, but by the looks of it you will need to use all three. The main plugin to provide core functionality, the KLEO geolocation add-on integrates with the members directory so it will always appear (according to documentation you linked to) and xprofile add-on so users can update their location from BuddyPress (and during registration).

    It should work with your other profile fields if using a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-search/, however, it may take custom code to get the range of miles working.

    Hi, thanks..

    So do youi think that the Members directory page will be able to display members autoamtically by distance without the user having to search for it?

    Hi,

    If you mean does it default to the user’s location within a certain radius? I have no idea, that would be a question for either the developer or try it out on a staging site and see what results you get.

    In the screenshot at the end it does have a setting called “Auto-locator button”, this will grab the user’s current location (if they allow it). If it works like you would expect it should then reload / filter the map within X radius of given location.
