Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Wbcom Designs - BuddyPress Check-ins

Yes, this plugin works seamlessly with both BuddyPress and BuddyBoss platforms.

Yes. BuddyPress or BuddyBoss Platform must be installed and activated, with the Activity component enabled. The plugin checks for this itself and explains the problem in the admin if either is missing.

Yes. It is not optional. The plugin is inert without one: the map marker never appears in the activity composer, the check-in panel never renders, the Google Maps script is never loaded, and no location can be saved. Add and verify a key at WB Plugins > Check-ins > General before rolling the feature out to members.

Yes. Google requires an active billing account on the Cloud project before the Places and Geocoding APIs will answer, even for usage inside the free monthly tier. A key without billing returns PROJECT_BILLING_DISABLED and the plugin cannot save a place. The Verify button reports this specific error so you know that billing, not the key itself, is what needs fixing.

Yes. The check-in map and the autocomplete search box only load once the browser reports the member's position. If a member blocks the location permission, or the browser has no geolocation support, the check-in panel has no autocomplete and cannot be used. Members see a clear message rather than a broken panel.

Go to your profile's post update section and click the map marker icon. The icon appears only once a Google Maps API key is saved in the settings. Type in the autocomplete box, select a location, and a map will display it.

Two places. The activity dropdown menu has a filter that shows check-ins only, on both BuddyPress and BuddyBoss. Each member also gets a "Check-ins" tab on their profile listing every place they have saved, with a map of all of them.

Yes. With the "Profile location field" setting enabled, the plugin creates a "Location" xProfile field and binds Google autocomplete to it, so members pick a real place instead of typing free text. The saved place renders on the profile as a Google Maps link.

Yes. Members can attach a place to activity they post in a group, and it reads as "checked-in in the group X" in the stream.

Yes. At WB Plugins > Check-ins > General you can turn the profile Check-ins tab off entirely, or rename its label.
