BuddyPress Check-ins

Members want to share where they are the way they do on Facebook or Instagram, but BuddyPress has no location feature. BuddyPress Check-ins integrates Google Places autocomplete so members can tag a location in any activity update, adding a dedicated Check-ins tab to their profile and a location xprofile field for permanent location display.
