Hello! I can't seem to get the Members search function to work, even as the website and forum owner and admin. I have a soapbox video here of what I'm experiencing. Can you let me know how I can adjust my settings to get this to work? https://soapbox.wistia.com/videos/xHZ1qQOLVw

Thank you!

Hi BethAnne711,

Please make sure the display name field is active in Member Search Form. To find the user by the nickname, you don't need to use '@' symbol.

More info here: https://wpforo.com/docs/root/addons/wpforo-user-custom-fields/member-search-form/

In case you want to say thank you 😊

We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.

I'd also recommend to change the Member search type to "Filter" in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > members admin page.
