Hi @virginuebootz,
Unfortunately, geolocation and narrowing searches based on distance is not supported by BP Profile Search. You will probably need to install another plugin set -like Geo My WP- to add this feature to your website. However, please be aware that no geolocation plugin is currently supported by our theme.
To find a way around this issue by still using this plugin to search user profiles, it’s best if you try to reach the plugin author directly.
Furthermore, as theme authors, the installation, setting or debugging of third party plugins isn’t part of the support we will provide.
To go further, we invite you to ask for more help from the plugin author and post your request on their support forums:

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