## چۈشەندۈرۈش

This plugin works with both BuddyPress and the BuddyBoss Platform. It creates an
xProfile Location field type that will use the Google Places API to populate and
validate address fields on member profiles.

The result will be _uniform_ and _searchable_ addresses with a _single_ input field.

In BuddyPress, you can create multiple Location fields via _wp-admin > Users > Profile
Fields > Add New Field_

In BuddyBoss Platform, you can create multiple Location fields via _wp-admin > BuddyBoss
> Profiles > Profile Fields > Add New Field_

The xprofile field for each member will be populated as a searchable string.

A latitude / longitude ›geocode‹ will be saved as a separate field, if that option
was selected when the field was created.

You can then use the geocode in your preferred Member Map solution.

Or you may be interested in this **Member Map** solution: [BP Maps for Members](https://www.philopress.com/products/bp-maps-for-members)

For **Group Maps**, please see: [BP Maps for Groups](https://www.philopress.com/products/bp-maps-for-groups)

## FAQ

### Do I need a Google Maps API Key?

Yes. If you need help, read this tutorial: [Google Maps API Key](https://www.philopress.com/google-maps-api-key/)

### I have a Google Maps API Key. Where do I put it?

If you use BuddyPress: Go to wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress > Options. Under ›
Profile Settings‹, find ›Google Maps API key‹, enter your key and Save.

Or if you use BuddyBoss Platform: Go to wp-admin > BuddyBoss > Integrations > PhiloPress.
Find ›Google Maps API key‹, enter your key and Save.

### Why are geocodes sometimes not created?

If you selected the «Save Geocode» option when creating the profile field and a 
geocode is not being saved when a member edits that field, then most likely they
are not clicking on one of the address options that Google returns as they type.
They have to click on one of the addresses or Goggle will not return the geocode.
There is no practical method of forcing them to make that selection. We suggest 
that the «Description» text of the profile field contain an instruction like: «Please
make a selection from the dropdown or you will not appear on the Members Map».

### Other questions

I’ve been using this plugin for several years. It stopped working after a Buddypress
update and I reported the problem unsure of the cause. In hours the problem was 
resolved with a plugin update. Thanks to Philopress.

Annoying me to have bought a plugin there is actually logical that you want to use
a plugin for more than 1 year. New purchase no thanks!

This plugin is a vital functionality to your BuddyPress website. Also, their support
team is great. I had an issue and they solved it and released it in the next update
which was quick and awesome. Thanks a ton !!!
