@henrywright. Thank you. I don’t know enough about code – basically i know nothing – to understand your reply. Is what I want to do possible? If so I am going to go with buddypress, and will be hiring a developer to do the work for me.
Thanks very much for your help. Great, this sounds very promising. If I may pursue with you further:
In particular, regarding your instruction to “save either “facilitator” or “host” against the event’s meta when the event is created or updated. Then when you build your custom search, you can use the pre_get_posts hook to output matched posts, using both the search and meta query parameters in WP_Query.”
I don’t know if that will work. The thing is, the events will be posted by either a “facilitator” or a “host.” And I want it to be automatic that the events listing automatically attaches those criterion to those events, without the person adding the event needing to input either host or facilitator. I want it to be automatic, just based on their membership role.
