Dynamic User Directory (free)

This lightweight yet feature-rich WordPress plugin creates a formatted user directory based on the pre-existing user meta fields. It can show avatars, social media icons, mailing address, email address, website, phone, and just about any other user meta information you wish. It is highly customizable, easy to configure, and fully compatible with meta fields created by BuddyPress, S2Member, Cimy User Extra Fields plugins, or any other custom user meta plugin that stores its fields in the wp_usermeta table.

Before You Buy Please Be Aware:
* DUD currently supports only the English language.
* DUD is not currently integrated with BuddyPress membership functionalities (e.g. field privacy settings or "who's online"). It is also not integrated with the 3rd party BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types plugin.
* For web developers: I cannot add new features on demand to help you meet a deadline. But you have a few options. You are welcome to change the code yourself, or you may put in a new feature request (which may or may not be accepted and if accepted will take some time to develop), or you can check if I am free to do a paid customization.
Pre-Sales Questions and Post-Sales Support: Please contact me via email, because WordPress only permits the forums to be used for plugins that it hosts. Kindly bear in mind that I do not have a support team to answer questions. I strive to respond promptly, but due to my work schedule I am sometimes unable to reply right away. Please also check the new DUD Troubleshooting guide before contacting me to see if your issue has already been addressed.
ATTENTION
I will not be providing DUD add-on support for the month of August 2021 due to a medical situation. You are welcome to purchase the add-ons, which are fully functional, but I will be unable to answer any questions or resolve any issues that may arise during this time. I am hopeful that I will be available to offer support again in the month of September. If you are waiting on a response from a past question that was not answered in June or July, please resubmit your request by email once I am available. This will expedite the support process. I will update this page when I am again available for tech support. Thanks for you patience! 
NEW! Custom Avatar ($10.00)
This useful add-on will let you display a custom avatar to the directory. You should first define a meta field that contains the URL of the uploaded photo for each user. Then after installing the add-on, enter the meta field key name in the new 'Avatar Meta Key' DUD setting. The custom photo will then be displayed as the avatar in the directory listing. If the user did NOT upload a photo to their profile, but they DO have a WordPress avatar, the WordPress avatar will be displayed instead.
Please note: this add-on will NOT work if the avatar url field was defined through S2Member or BuddyPress. It WILL work with any standard WordPress meta field (including fields created through MemberPress or any other membership plugin that is compatible with the DUD plugin).
$10.00 – Add to Cart
Directory Export ($10.00)
This indispensable add-on will allow you to export your directory to a .csv file via a frontend download link. You control who gets to see the link by restricting it to the user roles of your choice (this is highly recommended), and you get the ability to export both the full directory and directory search results.
This export file can function in many ways. For example, as a convenient list of active members with their contact info, as a list of members meeting certain search criteria, or as a printable CSV file that can easily be converted to PDF format using software such as Micrsoft Excel. Please note: this is NOT the same thing as a user export and is NOT designed to function as a file that can later be imported back into WordPress.
Other features include: 1) Show/hide column labels, 2) Show/hide letter divider, 3) Set the link text and position, 3) Full compatibility with ALL other DUD add-ons. For example, if you are using the Multiple Directories add-on, you can export each directory instance according to its own unique configuration. If you are using the Meta Fields Search add-on, you will be able to export those search results as well.
How it works: Each time a viewer clicks the "Export to CSV" link or runs a directory search, the add-on will create a new directory export .csv file and place it in the root directory of your server. The viewer is then shown a download link to this file (and ONLY this file). Every time a new directory export .csv file is generated, the add-on will automatically find and remove all directory export files that are more than 5 minutes old.

Exclude User Filter ($10.00)

This invaluable add-on lets you exclude users from the directory in several different ways:

(1) Based on your own custom meta field, such as an "Opt out of directory" checkbox. Your field may be a radio, checkbox, text field, or dropdown. Available conditionals you may use to check the field include: equal to, not equal to, empty, not empty, selected, not selected, contains, and does not contain.

(2) Additional BuddyPress options: hide users if they are inactive, have a last activity date older than x amount of days, or are marked as spammer.

(3) Additional MemberPress options: hide users with no active memberships, who have a particular subscription plan, who have no recurring subscriptions, or who have a subscription in pending, paused, or cancelled status. If users have multiple subscriptions, and you select one of those subscriptions for hiding, you also have the option of showing the user anyway *if* they have at least one subscription NOT selected for hiding.

IMPORTANT NOTE

This add-on may result in slow page load times for very large directories (i.e. ~1,000+ users). Smaller directories will NOT experience this delay. A "performance improvement" settings option is now available for high volume sites to decrease page load time. To use this setting, you must NOT be using the Custom Sort Field add-on, and you MUST have the directory set to the "Alphabet Letter Links" directory type.

Custom Sort Field ($12.00)

This powerful add-on lets you sort on any user meta field, rather than just last name or display name. Display the custom sort field categories at the top of the directory as links, an auto-refresh dropdown, or an additional search field dropdown. Sort in ascending, descending, or random order. Fully integrated with ALL the DUD add-ons! The demos below are just a few of the many possible configurations your custom sorted directory can have when paired with other add-ons.

Demo 1 | Settings Basic letter links directory sorted by department.
Demo 2 | Settings Basic single page directory sorted by department + Alpha Links Scroll
Demo 3 | Settings Single page directory sorted by department + Alpha Links Scroll + Meta Fields Search w/custom sort categories as an extra search field.
Demo 4 | Settings Single page directory sorted by department + Hide Dir Before Search + Alpha Links Scroll + Meta Fields Search w/custom sort categories as extra search field.
Demo 5 | Settings Letter links directory sorted by department with Meta Fields Search + Horizontal Layout.
Demo 6 | Settings Letter links directory sorted by department with auto refresh dropdown instead of links.
Demo 7 | Settings Letter links directory sorted by department with search field instead of letter links + Hide Dir Before Search.

IMPORTANT NOTES

* This add-on is NOT compatible with the S2Member framework, due to the way S2Member stores its meta fields. It IS compatible with ALL other membership plugins that currently work with the DUD plugin.
* This add-on currently requires the sort field to be a standard text field or drop-down box. That means meta fields stored as arrays, such as checkboxes, radio buttons, or multiselect boxes, will NOT work with this add-on.
* This add-on allows for one sort field category per user. For example, if your sort field is "department," each user should be assigned to only one department, rather than to multiple departments.
* Since you will be sorting the directory on this field, all field values in your custom sort field should *begin* with an alphabetic character. You can, however, have special characters elsewhere in the field.
* Currently you cannot display the regular alphabet letter links when using this add-on. There are plans to allow this feature in a future update.

Hide Directory Before Search ($8.00)

This add-on hides the directory listings until a search is run. This is especially useful for sites needing a search-oriented directory. After installation, the Dynamic User Directory settings page will contain a new check box in the Main Directory Settings section for hiding or showing the directory before a search is run.

Alpha Links Scroll ($8.00)

This add-on displays alphabet links on the Single Page Directory that will smoothly scroll to the matching letter divider.* No more manual scrolling through a long list of names -- simply click on a letter link at the top and let the browser do the work. The result is both user-friendly and visually impressive! Once activated, this add-on needs no further configuration.

*Note: Your Single Page directory must be set to display letter dividers for the scrolling to work.
Multiple Directories ($10.00)

This add-on allows you to create up to 100 additional instances of the directory on your website, each with its own unique display settings. Perfect for creating public and members-only versions of your directory! After installation, the Dynamic User Directory settings page will contain a new "Directory Instances" section at the top for adding a new instance or loading an existing one.

Demo: Directory Instance #1 - Single Page Directory w/multiple search fields
Demo: Directory Instance #2 - Letter Links Directory w/one search field

Meta Fields Search ($12.00)

This add-on provides powerful filter capabilities, allowing viewers to search the directory by any  user meta fields you specify in the settings. It comes with two different search types:

(1) Single Meta Field Search - displays a dropdown beside the search box listing the possible meta fields to search on (e.g. City, State, Zip, etc). Searches only within the selected meta field for the entered value. You may specify the precision of your search for each individual meta field by choosing a search type of contains,starts with,or matches.
You may also optionally configure a dropdown of pre-defined search values for any given meta field. For example, you can configure a "States" dropdown box that will allow viewers to select a state to search on. This will be shown in place of the usual search input box.
(2) General Meta Field Search - displays a single search box (with optional placeholder text) and automatically looks for the entered value within all the meta fields specified in the settings. Please note this currently does *not* allow for multiple search terms at the same time (e.g. searching city and state at the same time).
After installation, the Dynamic User Directory settings page will contain a new "User Meta Search Field Settings" section at the bottom for configuring up to fifteen search fields.
Demo Example #1 - Meta Field Search
Demo Example #2 - General Search

Fully responsive design and fully compatible with the other DUD add-ons!
