I am trying to filter for specific user-fields in a view-loop (first name, last name).
I saw that toolset doesn't allow this and here is a solution that i don't want to use:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/how-to-create-custom-searches-and-relationships-for-users/

I have already 100 + Users in the database and they are already registered (with all the informations i need). I don't want the users to enter their data and create another post type because it would mean that i have to store this data in 2 ways and thats not a good solution.

Is there another way to create a view with listed WordPress-user-information and a Frontend-Filter that can be used to search for specific user-fields ?

Hi Klaus,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Unfortunately no there isn't another way to do this, well not an easy way at least.

You aren't able to add frontend filters to your view that lists users.

Thanks,
Shane

I made a custom JavaScript function and filtered through my own attributes on the DOM-Elements. With them I am able to set the display-property to "block" or "none".

Thank you for the reply.
