Hi Rajesh,

As you may know, you can add hidden filters to a directory, see:

C) Add hidden filters to a member directory

in:

https://dontdream.it/bp-profile-search/custom-directories/

For instance if you want to show only members whose birthplace (say birthplace is field 23) contains ‘USA’, you can use the shortcode:

[bps_directory field_23_contains=’USA’]

This is a static filter. If, as in your case, you need dynamic filters you can use the ‘bps_hidden_filters’ hook:

add_filter ('bps_hidden_filters', 'add_hidden_filters');
function add_hidden_filters ($filters)
{
	$filters['field_23_contains'] = 'USA';
	return $filters;
}

As it is, this is still a static filter. In your case you should replace ‘field_23_contains’ and ‘USA’ with the stored preferences of your current logged-in user.

With hidden fields it is becoming a static directory of certain users, instead, I want users to be able to change their preferences. Is it possible without hidden fields?
Thank you.
