Hi @mtabler,
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. Maybe these topics will help you to solve your issue as they seem to answer the same concern:
To our knowledge, this feature is not available with BuddyPress and there is no plugin that you could install to add this feature to your website. We think that this feature requires custom development work. In consequence, our recommendation is to hire a freelancer to this job for you.
If you’re on a tight budget, we recommend you to require the services from Envato Studio freelancers (https://studio.envato.com/explore/websites-programming). This web platform gives you access to developers who have already experience with theme customizations, and for very competitive prices.
Please note that this issue is related with the customization of a third party plugin, not with the use of your theme. As theme authors, the installation, setting or debugging of third party plugins isn’t part of the support we will provide.
However, we invite you to ask for more help from the BuddyPress plugin authors and post your request on their support forums. We think they probably will be more informed and better suited to help you.

We remain available for all support requests related with the use of your theme.
Best,
