Directory (BuddyPress)

Who is on your site, as a native screen.

Tapping a member opens Profile (BuddyPress) in read-only form. That screen is placed for you when you add this one — remove it and a tap has nowhere native to go.

Sort by — BuddyPress’s own orderings: recently active, newest, alphabetical, online now, most popular, or random. Recently active is what BuddyPress itself defaults to.

Layout — a list, or a two-column grid of avatars.

Search box — let members filter the directory by name.

Member type filter — show a filter strip for BuddyPress member types. Most sites register none, and the strip hides itself when there are none, so leaving this on costs nothing.

Not the same as the Ultimate Member directory

Section titled “Not the same as the Ultimate Member directory”

BuddyPress members and the Ultimate Member directory are separate systems. Ultimate Member’s directories are configured in wp-admin with their own filters and forms; BuddyPress’s is one list of everyone, ordered by its own activity data. A site can run both, and placing both shows your members two different lists.
