Title: Been searching high and low... best approach for dispaying member information in WordPress?
ThreadText: # Been searching high and low... best approach for dispaying member information in WordPress?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-11-07)
  
  I'm working on a website that needs to display customized sets of membership information.
  
  The kind of thing I’m going for:
  
  * CiviCRM custom fields indicate that member serves in a particular  
    committee, and their role. Say, the Board of Directors.
  * On the WordPress site, the Board of Directors page lists a grid of members, and their roles.
  * The site also shows those activities on a member’s profile page.
  
  An example of the intended outcome: <https://caims.ca/committee/executive/>
  
  I’ve been going through documentation to find a plausible approach, but I don’t see a clear path for the task as a whole. For each sub-task, there seem to be lots of possibilities, but no glowingly correct approach.
  
  I’ve come across these possible steps, and possible tools:
  
  1. Gathering “sets” of users (e.g., members who who are currently on the organization’s board )
  
     * smart groups
     * saved searches
     * tags
     * member directories
     * Drupal-esque views
  2. Packaging those sets up for transfer to WordPress
  
     * exports
     * saved searches
     * custom-coded WordPress plugin
  3. Displaying those sets in WordPress
  
     * shortcodes
     * Pods custom fields
     * Toolset custom fields
  
  I’m thinking about finding a developer to do some custom code to link things up.
  
  At this point, I imagine I would have come across a recognizable method if there was one. But it seems prudent to make sure I’m not missing a direct solution. Thanks in advance for your help!

  If you are looking to contribute funding, it would be best to direct some funding to those pursuing creating Drupal Views like tools for Wordpress.
