When I do a search for a members name using forum users under the Simple Press Administration the search comes up with a blank page. Also, when I start typing the names the type is in red. Users search works on the WP users admin page. Here is what it looks like after a search:

Yes - I am afraid we discovered that just the other day - apologies we didn't notice that one before the last update. It was jogged by the ongoing re-development of the forum admin panels to make them fully responsive.

I believe the fix is pretty easy. If you fancy making a small edit to a code file I can look it up and publish it here for you. Or - of course - it is already fixed in readiness for the next update if you prefer to wait for that.

I can wait. Seeing that it works in the WP admin panel. Thanks so much!

Hey,

Any idea when this will be corrected? I for one have a good use for the user search function. :-)

Thanks

Great having the Users search function back intact. :-)
One request would be to be able to actually search within the actual user profile. Namely the first and last name.

I tried searching on my DB but that info is not listed under users.

Also, I would LOVE to have a function allowing me to list the users in order of posts. My guess is that it would be easy for you guys since you have that function to list top users built in already.
I do member interviews with the top posters and need to set the view for top 50 posters and copy the list then switch back in order to get the information that I need.

Thank you!

The first and last name of a user is not actually Simple:Press data as such. That is in the WP usermeta table and is actually quite a pig to get at in any rational, useful way. Basically it needs two queries and is a nasty bit of database design. It would be a slow, cumbersome query on a large user base.

I DO actually have a note on my list to add - at some point - users by post count. You are not the first to ask for it. So - one day! It is the sort of thing can usually be fitted in between larger developments.
