There is a way using the wp user query
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User_Query
plugins like BuddyPress have this type of feature too.
bbPress does not have a feature/shortcode like this, but if you use BuddyPress , bbPress is compatible with it.
Thanks very much @robkk. The link on wp user query is a great tool to solve my problem.
Concerning the use of BuddyPress, i think the link will be a problem in the sense that the links to the profiles that will be displayed will not link to the users forum profile. I want the links to go to user’s bbPress profile page, not the default wordpress user page nor the buddypress profile.
So I have decided to go by the Wp user query way, but please how am I going to create the php code. Am i supposed to wrote it in a page? or where should I put the code and how will i create the page?
Thanks.
if you use BuddyPress and bbPress together the profiles will most likely merge together, but you could force to just use the bbPress profile i think.
And i think the members page from BuddyPress should link to the users forum profile if you forced it.
i never tried it before but this might help you.
it looks like you create a custom page template, so create a members page then choose that template and i should show up.
