BP Profile Search is a member search and member directories plugin for BuddyPress. It provides:
<ul>
<li>A form builder to build the member search forms</li>
<li>The [bps_directory] shortcode to customize the BuddyPress Members directory, or to build additional member directories</li>
</ul>
Each search form has a target directory. When you run a search, you are redirected to the form’s target directory, filtered according to your search.
<h4>Build a search form</h4>
With the form builder you can:
<ul>
<li>Add, edit, rearrange, and remove the search fields</li>
<li>Use as search fields the BuddyPress profile fields, the users and usermeta data (including roles), the BuddyPress user groups, and the user taxonomies (including BuddyPress member types)</li>
<li>Use search by distance fields when you install the free companion plugin <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-distance-search/" rel="ugc">BP Distance Search</a></li>
<li>Select, for each search field, one of the available search modes</li>
<li>Select the BuddyPress Members directory, or one of the member directories built with this plugin, as the target directory</li>
<li>Select the form template to display your form</li>
<li>If in doubt, use the Help tab above the screen title</li>
</ul>
The form template works just like any other BuddyPress template. To override a form template, copy it to the buddypress/members directory in your theme’s root, then edit the new copy according to your needs.
<h4>Display a search form</h4>
After you build your search form, you can display it:
<ul>
<li>In its target directory, using the option Add Form to Directory in the form settings</li>
<li>In a sidebar or widget area, using the widget Profile Search</li>
<li>In a post or page, using the shortcode [bps_form]</li>
</ul>
<h4>Run a search</h4>
On the front-end, when you hit the Search button in a form, BP Profile Search shows the form’s target directory filtered according to your search. Both the All Members tab and the My Friends tab are filtered.
Additionally, the plugin:
<ul>
<li>Displays an active filters section containing the active search filters and a Clear button to clear them</li>
<li>Displays for each member a member details section containing the values of the searched fields</li>
<li>Adds to the Order By drop-down the options to sort the directory by the searched fields</li>
</ul>
The active filters section and the member details section are displayed by two dedicated templates, that can be overridden just like any other BuddyPress template.
<h4>Build a member directory</h4>
With the [bps_directory] shortcode you can:
<ul>
<li>Customize the BuddyPress Members directory, or build additional member directories</li>
<li>Add hidden filters to a directory</li>
<li>Add more sort options to a directory</li>
<li>Show additional member information in each member details section, e.g. the value of profile fields</li>
<li>Use a different Members directory template for each directory</li>
</ul>
You can enter the shortcode in an empty page to build a new member directory, or you can enter it in the BuddyPress Members page to customize the BuddyPress Members directory.
