Pie Register Profile Search

Description

The Profile Search addon adds to Pie Register a front-end user profile search engine, allowing filtering of members by custom registration fields such as city, profession, interests, or any meta created in the form. Designed for those who manage communities, professional directories, or member networks, it transforms the WordPress user base into a searchable listing accessible directly on the site’s public pages.

  Renders found profiles on a public page through a dedicated shortcode.

How to Download Profile Search

Profile Search is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it at Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate the addon with Pie Register already installed. Then, configure the search form in the Pie Register panel and publish the results page.

Focused on communities, directories, and member platforms, Profile Search extends Pie Register with a profile discovery layer that leverages the entire custom field scheme already configured. By consolidating search and listing within the same registration ecosystem, it avoids parallel directory stacks and keeps member data centralized in a single flow managed by the administrator.
