<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>

<p>Maya Team Directory lets you create and display a clean, fast team directory on your WordPress site. Add team members with profile photos, positions, departments, contact details, and bios, then display them with a simple <code>[maya_team]</code> shortcode.</p>
<p>The free plugin is intentionally lean and focused. It ships with everything you need to publish a working team page: the custom post type, group taxonomy, a responsive grid layout, search, group filtering, pagination, and a single-member template.</p>
<p>This plugin makes no remote calls, has no license key, no in-plugin upsell prompts, and never asks for your credit card to unlock built-in features.</p>
<p>Optional companion add-ons (CSV import/export, REST API endpoints, extra layouts, sidebar widget, custom CSS, accent color picker, social-network fields and icons — LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram, GitHub, YouTube — featured-member highlighting, per-group layout overrides, and more) are available separately at https://mayanaikotech.com/maya-team-directory/. They install as their own plugin and are 100% optional — this plugin works fully without them.</p>

<ul>
<li>Custom post type for team members</li>
<li>Group taxonomy for organizing members</li>
<li>Custom fields: Position, Department, Email, Phone, Website</li>
