I&#8217;ve also installed, configured, and extended many a WordPress plugin. I suppose it was inevitable that I would eventually throw my own hat into the plugin development ring! The result is a simple but hopefully useful plugin otherwise known as <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/dynamic-user-directory\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dynamic User Directory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sgcustomwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DUD-Screenshot-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-972 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/sgcustomwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DUD-Screenshot-1.png\" alt=\"DUD-Screenshot-1\" width=\"480\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sgcustomwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DUD-Screenshot-1.png 797w, http:\/\/sgcustomwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DUD-Screenshot-1-300x218.png 300w, http:\/\/sgcustomwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DUD-Screenshot-1-768x558.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This lightweight plugin is designed for multi-user websites that serve organizations or other groups whose members interact with each other. A recent client of mine, the Jacksonville Camera Club, is a great example. They needed a club member directory that would show avatars and member info. Something that would let them put faces with names or track down a particular member&#8217;s contact information. Problem was, I couldn&#8217;t find a decent plugin offering that ability in the WordPress repository. So I did what any PHP programmer would&#8230;and wrote one myself.<\/p>\n<p>Dynamic User Directory is an easily configured, cleanly formatted, and alphabetically sorted user directory plugin available for free at the WordPress.org plugins directory. It is also 100% compatible with the popular BuddyPress, S2Member, and Cimy User Extra Fields plugins. You are given a high degree of control over the look and feel, allowing you to integrate it seamlessly into your own website design. Here are just a few examples:<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 1139px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 426.917px;\">\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1024\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_1024\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 400px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1024\" src=\"http:\/\/sgcustomwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DUD-Style-Example-2-Small.jpg\" alt=\"Dynamic User Directory Style Example #1\" width=\"400\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sgcustomwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DUD-Style-Example-2-Small.jpg 400w, http:\/\/sgcustomwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DUD-Style-Example-2-Small-300x253.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_1024\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dynamic User Directory Style Example #1<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 695.083px;\">\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1023\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_1023\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 400px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1023\" src=\"http:\/\/sgcustomwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DUD-Style-Example-1-Small.jpg\" alt=\"Dynamic User Directory Style Example #2\" width=\"400\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sgcustomwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DUD-Style-Example-1-Small.jpg 400w, http:\/\/sgcustomwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DUD-Style-Example-1-Small-300x253.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_1023\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dynamic User Directory Style Example #2<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Do you know of someone who might find this plugin useful?
