member search and s2member profile fields

Hi. Before I implemented s2member custom profile fields, I was able to search for member’s profile fields in the buddypress member index page. Now that doesn’t work. I saw this but how do I make it work on the member’s index page?

Hi Roman,

s2Member’s Custom Profile Fields are stored in the database differently than WordPress or BuddyPress custom profile fields. That means that the BuddyPress search function is not programmed to search those fields.

If you want to create a search feature that searches the s2Member Custom Profile fields, or if you want to modify the BuddyPress search feature, you’ll need to write some custom code to do that or hire a programmer (we recommend posting your job on jobs.wordpress.net).
