I couldn’t swap “I am a” – “looking for a” because the field for “looking for a” was missing in:
Select Matching Fields (optional).
I used my whole evening on this just to find out that “Select Matching Fields (optional).” ONLY! counts for drop downs! I changed it to select boxes (at your advice) because on my site it is kind of essetial that people are able to search broader than one type of person.
So I am kind of stuck with this one.
Can you help me out?
Matching fields can be textboxes or selectboxes. If you stick to those types then you will be fine

I understand there it is styling disallowing. Could you plz tell how to disable that so that I can search against selectboxes with a multiple select?
Hi, You can use multiselect starting with 2.2 but you cannot use them as Matching fields. They are different field types that saves data different…

I think I found some kind of solution though! I still need to implement it (and edit the profiles that already have been made. 😉
I am posting this here because othes might run into the same thing.
The idea is to split up.
I am/ we are a: (dropdown)
Man
Woman
Couple
OtherWho is/ are: (checkboxes)
Hetrosexual
Bisexual
Gay
Gender fluid
Pansexual
Queer
Genderqueer
Cross-dresser
Transgender
Androgynous
QuestioningLooking for a: (dropdown)
Man
Woman
Couple
OtherWho is/ are: (checkboxes of which the results are only to show on the profile)
Hetrosexual
Bisexual
Gay
Gender fluid
Pansexual
Queer
Genderqueer
Cross-dresser
Transgender
Androgynous
QuestioningIn this way the basic matching is gender based but then extended with the check boxes. Like this several options/ combinations can be made. Most will search specifically for a gender but like this one can still specify her self as a female, gay, queer. for instance.
The solution is that I still can turn the fields around and sneak the first “Who is/ are” into the search. als “I am/we are a:” (dropdown)…. “Iooking for a:”(dropdown) “Who is/are:” (checkboxes)
I think this will work…
Thanks for looking into it.

Yes, this logic might help you achieve what you want.
