Ok that kind of worked. Now that we;ve put the code in, if I search “Eccleston” he will appear in searches. But if I search by “Adam” or “Adam Eccleston” he does not appear. Anything else we can try?
The problem that we are running into is that on the site, user’s WordPress usernames are not displayed anywhere. Everyone’s displayed name on our PeepSo site is their First and Last name. However, when you search for a user in the search bar, the results show WordPress usernames, not first name last name. For example, my name appears as Clark Thornton on our site. When you search for “clark” or “clark thornton” in the search bar, the option that is returned is “cthornton582” which is my WordPress username. So the search bar properly found my account, but displays wordpress username instead of my name as it appears on the site (I attached a screenshot of this). So in search results, I want a user to display as “first name last name” instead of “wordpress username”. What would I need to do to make this happen?
ok thanks for the help. i am running into problems with the user search. when searching for users, it appears that the search bar is searching by user’s usernames only. We don’t want to search by username at all and only by first name and last name. We have a field for first name and last name that users fill out when they register for the site. How can we set the search bar to search by user’s first and last name as it is displayed on our site, but not search by wordpress username?
