Group types selector not showing on the search field

Hi @bj123,
Please make sure you’ve created the Group Types to make them list while searching them.
You can use this plugin ( BP Create Group Types ) to create group types from admin panel.

If still you find some problem in doing the needful, feel free to message here.
Thanks!

Yes, of course I had more than 10 group types created with your BP Group Types plugin. The group types work fine but I can’t search for them. It doesn’t show the group types selector next to the search field on the groups directory on the Boss theme. And the Buddyboss global search doesn’t catch the group types either. Maybe some conflict with BB Global Search?

@bj123

It’s Boss specific issue,
Copy boss/buddypress/groups/index.php to
boss-child at same path and

Replace line 29

<?php bp_get_template_part( 'common/search/dir-search-form' ); ?>

with

	<?php /* Backward compatibility for inline search form. Use template part instead. */ ?>
	<?php if ( has_filter( 'bp_directory_groups_search_form' ) ) : ?>

		<div id="group-dir-search" class="dir-search" role="search">
			<?php bp_directory_groups_search_form(); ?>
		</div><!-- #group-dir-search -->

	<?php else: ?>

		<?php bp_get_template_part( 'common/search/dir-search-form' ); ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

Thanks so much for the code! It’s indeed working now. It needed some custom styling to fit the theme but it works and looks perfect now. Very nice.

@bj123 Thanks for your feedback.
