I am building a buddypress site that connects people but the main reason for users to connect through this site is to find other users nearby that have the same needs and meet.

is there a plugin that will allow users to search by zip code and show users in that or nearby zip codes.

Other uses (not required) -
- search distance from me by miles but not show addresses. I want users to be able to choose who they show their address to for security.


Any help with this or pointing me in the right direction would be great. I search far and wide for this and found other people with this need but cant find a solution....

Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg,

You should be able to use the Memberlist plugin and do a zipcode proximity search:
wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members-list/

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Nick

Thanks Nick! this is a good... ONE MORE THING: is there a feature for zipcode proximity search or do i need to find a plugin for that too or write it myself??? I never done something that involved this much search details.

If you have a tutorial on it or again point me in the right direction Ill figure it out!

Thanks again.

You're welcome, Greg! :)

Check out their documentation at:
www.ternstyle.us/products/plugins/wordpr...plugin-documentation

You just have to put radius=true in their short code.

You can see an example of their proximity search at:

Kind regards,
Nick

ONCE AGAIN OS Training Saves the day! :-)

:) We're glad to be of help, Greg, and even more glad that you got things working the way you want them to!

Kind regards,
Nick
