no members found message

[rhino5ice]

1) I can’t seem to figure how to have members show up when using a search.  My search is looking to match, I am a: “client” or “designer/maker” with Looking for: “client” or “designer/ maker”.  along with a few other options that I would like to weigh in the search.

2)Also, if possilbe I would like to brea up Designer / Maker into two – so there would be 3 types of ‘I am a:’ and the same three type of “looking for:” .

3) I would like to have the members pictures listed even if you have not registered, but when you click on the profile it takes you to the registration/ membership page.  Is this built in or custom?

 

thanks for any help! great theme so far, very robust.

Hello, for 1, when you create your matching fields, you need to use the same options for I am a and Looking for a
Try to use Designer or Maker instead of Designer/Maker, both the same at both fields.

2. Right now it works with 2 as it looks for the other one.
3. You can use paid memberships pro for that, restrict profiles but not member directory

Thanks Laura,
1) so confirm – i cant have “Designer / Maker” with spaces? what about Designer or Maker? or does it just have to be one work?

2) in messing around with various options/css changes/plugins this morning, I somehow lost the custom permalinks your theme added (I think) When I changed my “I am” and “Looking for” then tried to test, I his search and get a 404 error. Help! thanks!

Hi Laura – one update. I fixed the permalink not sure what happend. All good. Still no matching working however. I changed the “I am a:” to only two options, and “Looking for” to those same two options. still no members found. I updated the fake profiles I have (4 total including mine) to reflect the change in options.

related quesiton: do you HAVE to use the ‘Enable complementary fields’? or can I just have a search with custom stuff with different percentages. I really only need a one way search. One group is going to ALWAYS search for the other… not reversed. In which case it doesnt matter what group you are. (in my case, client vs. designer)

thanks!

Hello, well, you could use 1 field this way:
Profession: Designer
Maker
So they can have in their profiles to choose what is their profession and in the search they can select which profession to find

Its like a general field works both for search and for i am a style
This way you could delete the i am a and looking for fields

Thanks Laura – great support. I see what you are saying, and it worked. Basically eliminating the complimentary fields stuff. As a follow up quesiton(s)

1) Is it possilbe to have the search like on the KLEO theme “get connected”? There it searches by “skills”, then filters by “country”… I know Sweet Date is related.. I would like the choose profession (designer or maker) then filter by style (drop down list).

2) My ultimate goal if possilbe – is to search and filter like KLEO “connected theme” plus the Matching percentage (like Sweet date) but on the profiles once they are filtered (before you have to click on the profiles). The user could then sort by highest match or most recent activity, etc. If they want, then click on the profile for more infot. From what I read this is some serious coding, but do you have any idea if / when you would integrate in an update?

3) when I look at my site on Mobile phones the “log in / signup” buttons are touching the logo, how can get more space between logo and sign up button, and also make those smaller? (see screenshot) should be CSS correct?

thanks for help – this is the best support I have had yet on a theme, keep up the good work!

Hello 🙂
Glad it worked.
For 1) you can do that with the plugin bp profile search https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-search/
But you may need to style it a bit
2) Right now you cant search by match, you will need to integrate that, maybe a developer can do it for you 🙂
3) Just add this to style.css of child theme

COPY CODE

@media only screen and (max-width: 940px) {
.eight.columns.login-buttons {
    margin-top: 15%;
}
}

Also, i created these styles for your buttons, this way they match your website a bit more, if you want to use them

COPY CODE

a.tiny.secondary.button.radius {
    background: transparent !important;
    border-radius: 0px !important;
    border: 1px solid #DDDDDD !important;
}
a.tiny.button.radius {
    background: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important;
}
.top-bar > ul .name h1 a {
    background: transparent !important;
    border: 1px solid black !important;
}
.top-bar ul > li.has-dropdown .dropdown li.has-dropdown > a li a:hover, .top-bar ul > li.toggle-topbar {
    background: transparent !important;
    border-right: 1px solid black !important;
    border-left: 0px !important;
}

Or

COPY CODE

.top-bar > ul .name h1 a {
    background: transparent !important;
    border: 1px solid black !important;
}
.top-bar ul > li.has-dropdown .dropdown li.has-dropdown > a li a:hover, .top-bar ul > li.toggle-topbar {
    background: transparent !important;
    border-right: 1px solid black !important;
    border-left: 0px !important;
}
a.tiny.secondary.button.radius {
    background: transparent !important;
    border-radius: 0px !important;
    border: 1px solid #DDDDDD !important;
}
a.tiny.button.radius {
    background: transparent !important;
    color: black !important;
    border-radius: 0px !important;
    border: 1px solid black !important;
}

Thank you! I’m going to use the GEO My WordPress for a proximity search, which I wanted anyway, and the profession, and i’m going do a work around with the styles – I will assign each a number (for now) and have the user just input the number using the age filter – in my case 1-8 for 8 types of styles. That is until I can get a developer to look at it…or i learn a bit more about php.

One more ask – thanks, for the CSS for mobile, i like the second option – can you give me the same look/style for the drop down menu on mobile as you did the log in!

thanks much

Hello, i think its because of the field address, do they put “Milwaukee” or “23st blah blah, Milwaukee” Because it will search for an exact match
