Hi, how are you?
I am planning to make a BuddyPress website and wanted to add a filter to search for other members nearby. I heard that to do that I need BP search profile + BP distance.
I checked out some videos and pictures and wanted to ask if it is possible to change the design/appearance for the km distance dropdown field.Now, I am not a coder, more like new to WordPress but I was hoping that I could replace the regular BP search/filter distance field with a custom css range slider for the kilometres distance between members.
Is this possible? In the css videos that I watched on YouTube they use html, css and js codes, and I have no idea whether or not this can replace the regular BP style.
Would be nice if you could tell me if it is possible or not.
Thank you 🙂Hi Fabian,
You can modify the default BP Profile Search form template to make it look the way you want, but that’s not straightforward in my opinion.
Also, I’m not a CSS or JavaScript expert, and I’m unable to offer more detailed advice. Sorry!
Hi Andrea, how are you?
Sorry to ask one more follow-up: If I wanted to do some custom css work on it, do I have to apply this change in the plugins code or in BuddyBoss code then?
BuddyBoss uses .php and that is a way over my head lolHi Fabian,
In my opinion, the best way to apply custom CSS to your WordPress site is to use:
Customize => Additional CSS
You can immediately see the effect of your additional CSS, which will then be saved in the database.
