    Hi there!

    I would like to make a site, where I have couple hundred users offering their services. I would like to make it filterable to search based on location, but the main thing would be to give users access to upload their own portfolio.

    If there is a way or plugin please let me know.

    Have a great day you all!

  • This is a volunteer support forum where we help with specific issues involving the code provided for download on this site. That said, I have provided a few details below that could get you headed in the correct direction.

    First, you will need a membership plugin like Ultimate Member. https://ultimatemember.com/

    Next you will need to add custom fields to the user profile and/or add a custom post type for the portfolio page. This will depend on how you want to display the portfolio. Here are some links and resources about how to do these two things:

    Use this plugin to add custom fields to the current profile: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/

    Last, but definitely not least, you will need an advanced search plugin such as SearchWP https://searchwp.com/

    Hope this helps get you headed in the right direction!

    Many thanks!
    It seems really useful what you sent. I will get trough and update as I progress.

    The way I am planning to display the portfolio would could be simple. nothing fancy if I make a list with all the persons, and add filtering option to find by location I am gonna be happy ?? Maybe the best way I cant think is something like facebook, were users upload images from their work and I list them on a page based on their location. If a visitor click on a person they go to the their profile site where they see the portfolio.

    I am pretty sure based on what you sent I can make it work. Only one thing what can cause some problems is I already have all the users and their images from a really old database (has nothing to do with wp, neither any cms system)

    Anyways, Thank you for your help.

    Glad I was able to help you a little bit. Feel free to post back here any time with more specific questions. If you are using any premium plugins you will need to contact their developers for support not this volunteer community, we are not able to help with premium plugins here.

    Ok. I did it. Many thanks. In case someone will need this info:

    I used ultimate member only. Its a great plugin I could make custom fields, search filters. Only thing I needed to purchase was Ultimate Member User Photos and that was fine to make portfolios.

    Its not difficult either to import large forums, and users from custom PHP site to WP CMS. The only thing is on a spreadsheet I had to rename each column for whatever WP needs.

    The only thing I can not migrate is the photos from the old portfolios because everything is on the same table and I have no idea about PHP or MySQL other than simple queries but i guess its really not a big issue that the users will have to upload their portfolio again. I think am gonna leave it like that cause I don’t know what could I do to get those photos, if someone has an idea I am opened for that tho ??

    Anyways I have fixed my problem. Many thanks for the help.

    Nice! Happy I was able to get you going in the right direction! Kindly tag the thread as resolved! ??
