<p><strong>Faceted Search for Ultimate Member</strong> adds a configurable filter sidebar to any Ultimate Member member directory. Visitors combine filters on profile fields — country, industry, skills, job title, or any custom UM field — and see matching members update instantly over AJAX.</p>
<p>The plugin hooks into Ultimate Member’s native member directory (<code>um_get_members</code>), so member cards, pagination, sorting, and keyword search keep working as before. Facet counts refresh in real time as filters are applied, showing how many members match each option.</p>
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Per-directory setup</strong> — enable faceted search on each Member Directory individually.</li>
<li><strong>Six filter UI types</strong> — checkbox list, radio list, dropdown, tag cloud, numeric range, and date range.</li>
<li><strong>Live facet counts</strong> — option labels show member totals (e.g. United States (24)) that update with each selection.</li>
<li><strong>AJAX filtering</strong> — no full page reload; results update through UM’s member directory.</li>
<li><strong>Multiple layouts</strong> — sidebar left, sidebar right, or horizontal top bar.</li>
<li><strong>Active filter chips</strong> — visitors see and remove active filters at a glance.</li>
<li><strong>URL state persistence</strong> — shareable filter URLs when enabled.</li>
<li><strong>Mobile-friendly</strong> — optional collapsible facet panels on small screens.</li>
<li><strong>Role-based facet visibility</strong> — show different filters to different UM roles.</li>
<li><strong>Sortable facet values</strong> — by count (high/low) or alphabetically (A–Z / Z–A).</li>
<li><strong>Meta key autocomplete</strong> — admin facet builder suggests UM profile field keys.</li>
<li><strong>Smart field detection</strong> — maps UM field types (text, select, radio, checkbox, multiselect, date, number, and more) to the correct filter logic.</li>
<li><strong>Security by default</strong> — passwords, 2FA tokens, file URLs, and other sensitive meta keys are never offered as facets.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Who is this for?</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Membership communities</strong> — help members find others by location, interests, or expertise.</li>
<li><strong>Professional directories</strong> — filter consultants, freelancers, or staff by specialty or availability.</li>
<li><strong>Alumni and association sites</strong> — browse graduates or members by class year, region, or industry.</li>
<li><strong>Niche marketplaces</strong> — narrow vendor or service listings on UM-powered directories.</li>
<li><strong>Any WordPress site using Ultimate Member directories</strong> — turn a long member list into a browsable, filterable experience.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Front-end experience</h4>
<ul>
<li>Combine multiple facet filters at once (AND logic — members must match all active filters).</li>
<li>Use facet filters together with Ultimate Member’s built-in directory search and sort.</li>
<li>Clear individual filters or reset everything with <strong>Clear all</strong>.</li>
<li>See a results summary (e.g. “Showing 12 of 48 members”) above the member grid.</li>
<li>Keyboard-accessible facet controls for better usability.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Admin configuration</h4>
<p>Configure everything under <strong>Ultimate Member <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Member Directory <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Add/Edit</strong>, in the <strong>Faceted Search</strong> metabox:</p>
<ul>
<li>Enable or disable faceted search per directory.</li>
<li>Add facet fields mapped to UM user meta keys (profile field keys).</li>
<li>Set a custom label and UI type for each facet.</li>
<li>Drag to reorder facets.</li>
<li>Choose layout and toggle <strong>Show Counts</strong>, <strong>Active Filter Chips</strong>, <strong>Collapsible on Mobile</strong>, and <strong>URL State Persistence</strong>.</li>
<li>Set how many options appear before a facet panel collapses (“Collapse after X items”).</li>
<li>Configure per-facet sort order and role visibility in advanced options.</li>
<li>Set min, max, and step for numeric range facets; from/to dates for date range facets.</li>
</ul>
<p>No shortcode is required — the filter sidebar appears automatically on directories where faceted search is enabled.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Enable faceted search on a Member Directory and choose which profile fields become filters.</li>
<li>When a visitor opens that directory, the filter sidebar renders alongside the member grid.</li>
<li>Each filter selection is sent with Ultimate Member’s member query.</li>
<li>The member list updates via AJAX; facet counts recalculate for the current filter combination.</li>
<li>Only members matching all active filters are shown.</li>
</ol>
<h4>For developers</h4>
<p>Hooks and filters for customization:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>um_fs_before_sidebar</code> — before the sidebar wrapper is rendered</li>
<li><code>um_fs_inside_sidebar</code> — inside the sidebar, after the facets panel</li>
<li><code>um_fs_after_sidebar</code> — after the sidebar closing tag</li>
<li><code>um_fs_user_card_data</code> — filter data passed to member cards</li>
<li><code>um_fs_field_type_overrides</code> — override detected field types by meta key</li>
<li><code>um_fs_facet_max_users</code> — cap users scanned when building facet counts (default 5000)</li>
<li><code>um_fs_facet_base_args</code> — adjust base <code>WP_User_Query</code> args used for counting</li>
</ul>
