    filter=’last_name>c&last_name<h’ returns all values, I can not get < or > to return anything other than all values. I can get = to work, but then it looks at the whole entry, not just the first letter. And I can get ~ to work, but then again it looks at the whole entry, not jsut the first letter. I want to be able to display a list of people who have a last name starting with ‘X’ (or a specific value.)

    This feature works, so I’m not sure what the trouble is…what is the exact shortcode you are using?

    This issue is either specific to the site or the wordpress version used (3.9) because I can not replicate it on a fresh install of WordPress. Here is the shortcode used

    [pdb_list search=true sort=true filter=”last_name>a&last_name<g”]

    I have last names that start with A, B and Y and all are showing in the listing. I can not provide a link because it is a private site, perhaps you could message me about this?

    Should work on the older WP install…don’t think that’s the problem. Have you tried looking at the database entries directly (using PHPMyAdmin or something like that) to make sure the data is correct?

    Really feel like this is a bug, not user error… Yes the data is all correct

    OK, in that case we need to look for errors in the PHP error log.
