Searching by user

    Hi guys,

    The members of our bbpress forum would like to be able to search by user. e.g. they might want to search for all posts by a user named ‘member1’ that contain the text ‘sample words’. I thought they might be able to use search parameters somehow for this, i.e.

    user:member1 “sample words”

    Is there any way to achieve this in bbpress?

    Thanks
    Van

    this has something to search by user.

    its not a plugin more of a file to put in a folder called bbpress in your child theme and some PHP code snippets but i will test it out to see if it works.

    Thanks Robkk! Let me know if/when you manage to test it. Would the php just be added to functions.php?

    yeah i tested it and it seems to work good.

    and yes the PHP code snippets you can add to a child themes functions.php file.

    Thanks for that. Unfortunately when I make those changes i end up with a blank, white screen instead of a forum! If I use the form-search.php alone and don’t add the code to functions.php, about half the page renders but the sidebar etc are missing.

    Is there anyone who could do a little custom work to get this figured out for me? I’m happy to pay, of course.

    I emailed the address listed on the contact page and I got “Delivery to the following recipients failed.”
    Typo in the email address?
