Hi there:

My name is RJ. I recently purchased searching filter pro uses a possible component in a directing project I’m working on . I’m brand-new to WordPress development . so I’m learning as I go.

I recently switched over from a platform that is developed using custom post types 218 makes member directories file modifying user roles and user profiles called ultimate member . ultimate member has its own search capabilities but doesn’t offer Ajax . the search and filter pro have the ability to search the contents of user profiles ? If not, is there a workaround or can you suggest a solution that would be better ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi RJ

I am uncertain as to what your situation is. are you using Custom Post Types? If so, Search and Filter can search these.

But, Search and Filter was never designed to be able to search WordPress User Profiles.

Hey Trevor :

Thanks for the quick reply and sorry for the delay in my response . I apologize for the typos in my message . LOL. I use voice to text for most of my correspondence and sometimes it makes me sound like a real goof . Anyway, to answer your question I was initially using a plug-in that use custom post types to create a directory . However, I had to switch tactics and now I’m using a plug-in that has more control over user roles and user access . Instead of creating custom post types it allows you to modify user profiles and then a leisure to display the profiles in the directory format . as I mentioned before, this new plug-in has a search utility that I can customize but it doesn’t not offer Ajax. during my research I noticed that the other plug-in you mentioned on the site can add to user information via a filter it has built in . I thought maybe search and filter pro had the same abilities . if not, I understand . I just may not be able to use it for this particular project as intended. and while it’s not completely a must-have if you know of any other plug-ins that are similar to searching for the pro that can access user information please let me know. Thanks again.

Cheers.

RJ

User is a special type of post type in WordPress and, as I said, S&F does not access it. I suspect that this is partly because access to this User post type has all sorts of security implications and so it is best left to the plugin that you are using to do any searches. There are many plugins that handle User profiles. The one I use is called UserPro. I am not aware that Search and Filter Pro can work with any of them, because of the security issue.
