Extend admin user search

  • Hi,

    I use a plugin called Simplr Registration Form Plus+ that gives you extra fields on the register form. In the /wp-admin/users.php area you can also see some of these fields in the columns.

    The problem is when you type to search for a user in the search box it doesn’t search these columns, does anyone know or point me in the right direction on how to do this? Can I add a filter to the search.

    Thank you

    It would depend on where and how the data is stored. You can search for particular user meta fields by adding arguments to the WP_User_Query by using the ‘users_list_table_query_args’ filter. If the data is stored elsewhere, you’d have to directly alter the actual SQL query through the ‘found_users_query’ filter. The trick here would be to discern the users list query from any other user query before altering the query.

    Check out Better User Search; it should accomplish exactly what you’re looking for!
