Hi all: I have been trying to find an answer to this question but haven't had any luck yet. I would appreciate your input.

I want to create a website based around a searchable membership directory.

Here's the basic idea (pretty simple). After people fill out a form ...

1) Certain fields in the membership form must be searchable.

2) People search the membership directory, and once they find someone meeting certain criteria, they can contact that person securely via the site.

Does a WP theme or plugin exist like this? I have researched several options, like WishList and Digital Access Pass, but I haven't been able to figure out if they offer those features. (I have contacted them directly but no response yet.)

If no ready-made solution exists, I suppose I'll just need to hire someone to set that up. And seriously, if no ready-made solution exists, a programmer should develop it and make big bucks.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Heard back from DAP. Not a feature, although they offered to create it for a fee. Same with S2Member.

    If anyone knows a pre-made option, I'd appreciate it if you'd share. Thanks so much.

    Edited to add: If there's nothing for WP, I'd take a recommendation for another option, like a CRM.

    I believe BuddyPress will do the trick. I think that's as advanced as WordPress will get for a membership website like you're describing.

      And DAP integrates with BP, in case you go that route.
