Hello,
Awesome plug-in. I have a problem with my custom User Meta.In “General Options > User Search > Search in following user meta fields” I cannot locate my own custom user meta searching by key.
I do see user meta added by other plug-ins, i.e. MemberPress, BadgeOS.How do I need to register my user meta in order for Ajax Search Pro to pick them up?
Thanks!
Mauro.Hi Mauro,
The meta only shows up once there is an actual value associated with it, as the plugin looks in the user meta table.
If you update a user profile with the new meta fields (and add values to them), they will show up.Hi Ernest,
Thanks, not sure if this is a known issue, but the fields only showed up after I connected them with the user profile.
Also, I have one field that has multiple values for the same key. That does not show up.I add values to the field in my code like this:
add_user_meta($user_id, ‘my-key’, false);Any clue why it would not show up?
Thanks,
Mauro.Hi,
It is not really an issue, as if the field does not exist in the usermeta table, it actually does not exist until then (in the database), so it cannot be listed.
The uniqueness does not matter, if there is at least one meta value with the field name in the usermeta table, it should show up.Make sure to add at least one value with that field, and it should be there.
Ernest, thank you very much for your quick replies! Really appreciate that.
Guess what, you’re right. My logic for conditionally adding the field was reversed!
Now that the field is populating and connected to the user profile it is showing up.Thank you, you can mark this as solved 🙂
