    Hi @andrea Tarantini
    I’d bet I crossed a similar topic in the forum but eventually I could not find it again, so apologies if I am re-opening an existing thread.

    As for the object, I am filtering through a custom multiselect dropdown xprofile field with a large number of items (more than 200), which however is rendered in the form as a dropdown of checkboxes, which may do if the dropdown iteslf had a scroll bar/functionality. As a result, at the moment I can only read the first 10 choices of said field.

    Is this at all a known issue and did anybody come up with a way for coping with it?

    Please note: this seems not to be theme-related and happens rolling back to ver. 4.2.4 as well.

    Thanks to anybody willing to help.

    Hi Prangesco,

    I’m not aware of this or of a similar problem. A few questions:

    1. Which form template are you using?
    2. Does the problem go away using a standard theme?
    3. Does the problem go away deactivating all your plugins, except BuddyPress and BP Profile Search?
    4. Does the problem go away changing the form template?

    Please let me know!

    Thanks for the quick reply Andrea and for your advice.

    I had actually forgotten that there was a form choice option with BP profile search and I eventually managed to have it work in the bps-form-with-labels shape. However it only does the job if the form is added (embedded) to the member page/directory: if placed in a sidebar, the widget keeps diplaying multiselct fields as a dropdown of checkboxes .

    I assume this is again theme-related, so maybe you may want to update your thread with kleo. However, testing multiple themes returned similar compatibility issues with several ones (fields rendered badly either as widget or in page main content).

    For the moment being I’ll have to use it as it is, but will be happy to know someone came up with a fix. I’ll also dig further into this and update the thread if anything positive comes up.
    Cheers

    The display of a field in a search form is controlled by the form template. If you are using one of the Kleo provided form templates, probably you need to report any display issues to them.
