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

Member search and member directories for BuddyPress and the BuddyBoss Platform.

<p>Easy to use plugin for adding a forum members directory page into bbPress powered forums, including members filtering and additional widgets for listing members in the sidebar. The plugin adds a new URL endpoint based on the existing bbPress ‘users’ profile URL, and using the theme compatibility method (the same as in bbPress), it adds the members directory with additional filters and sorting options.</p>
<p>The plugin has a few settings to control the number of users per page, URL endpoint slug, and a few more things. The plugin features are listed here:</p>
<ul>
<li>The member list shows various user information</li>
<li>Options to filter a list by role or keyword</li>
<li>Change results sorting (activity, registration, name…)</li>
<li>Full RTL support for the directory styling</li>
<li>Simple Widget for showing a list of members</li>
</ul>
<p>Plugin default templates and styling are based on the default bbPress theme package. And, like with bbPress, all the templates used by the plugin can be replaced via the theme. The plugin has full support for <a href="https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-quantum-theme-for-bbpress/" rel="nofollow ugc">GD Quantum Theme Pro for bbPress</a> plugin by Dev4Press, including additional templates and styling.</p>
