GuestHey Andrea,
Thanks for your suggestion about freelancer, I was able to add what I needed to the plugin!
But I have one more question, how can I protect the changes made to the plugin from any plugin update?
I’ve tried to create a directory in my child theme :
mysite.com/wp-content/themes/child-theme/bp-profile-search
and add the changes there but it doesn’t work.I’ve also tried to create a plugin directory in my child theme and add the bp-profile-search there, but it didn’t work either.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thank you
andrea
Plugin AuthorHi Kida,
Sorry for the late reply. I think that the only way to protect your changes is to change the name of the modified plugin to another unique name of your choice.

GuestHey Andrea,
I’d followed your advise, but with all the changes around (your plugin, wordpress, buddypress etc), the plugin was not working anymore.
So I updated your plugin, keeping my changes (to have a search on location radius). Unfortunately, it doesn’t work anymore, at all. I think it’s because you might have changed function names and other things that make it now incompatible.
Would you be interested in having the change for location radius that was made a few months ago for me, and see if you could incorporate it to your newest plugin version? That would be super helpful for me, and perhaps it’s advantageous for you too?
Let me know if you’re interested!Cheers,

Plugin AuthorHi Kida,
You are right, I made a few changes to BP Profile Search that could be incompatible with some earlier customizations. Anyway, if you reinstall your original customized version it should be working fine.
About the radius search, thank you for your offer. I’ll have a look at your code and, if it’s not very complex, I’ll be glad to add it to the public plugin version.

GuestHello,
I am also interested in the radius search, is it possible to share the code since it is not integrated in the current plugin version?
Otherwise I will have to code the functionality myself.Thanks.

Plugin AuthorHello baptx,
Unfortunately the code that was written for Kida was no longer working, and anyway wasn’t suitable for inclusion in BP Profile Search. If you are interested in the current status of this feature, please read:
