After activating the theme, a notice will appear letting you know that you need to install Buddypress and bbPress.
You can automatically install plugins this way or you can manually install the plugins from WordPress repositoy here
Buddypress
After you have installed Buddypress, go to WP Admin -> Settings -> Buddypress to make specific settings.
- Components tab: check the components you want to enable.
- Pages tab, link your Buddypress Register and Activate pages.
To import User Profile Fields go to WP Admin -> Sweetdate -> Buddypress -> Import Buddypress Profile Fields.
To edit User profile fields go to WP Admin -> Users-> Profile Fields.
Members search form
Since v1.3 we have included the option to fully customize the members search form.
Configure what fields you want to enable on the form: Sweetdate -> Buddypress
Here you can configure form fields for the Main form(the one that is on the home page in our demo) and the Horizontal form(appears in Members page)
There are three types of special fields:
Numerical field - When you select a field to be numerical, then it will render two input boxes where you can search a min and max value.
Age field - When you select a field as Age, then on the search form it will render two select boxes for Age interval
Matching fields - Matching fields are when you don't want to search the value in the same field that was entered.
For example on our demo site we have: "I am a" and "Looking for" as Matching fields to inverse the search.
To show the form you have different options:
Shortcode
Widget
In PHP files
City field autocompletion based on Country field - since v.2.3
If you have both a Country and Ciy field you can indenify them by selecting them in the corresponding select fields. City will autocomplete based on the Country selected.
If you don't have a Country field then you can put the Country Code to gen cities only from that country.
bbPress
For bbPress settings go to WP Admin -> Settings -> Forums.
