Closing as resolved due to lack of replies.

You are welcome Christien.
I am glad I was able to point in the right direction.

Tough I agree that switching back is a little bit uncomfortable, It is still best for the security reason.

All the best with your project 🙂

The post loop is a custom WordPress post loop and you can make it look as you need. Please do let me know if you need assistance with the code.

Hi Swati,
Thank you.

You can use the following code to do that

/**
 * Search a member list by the user id with prefixed username
 */
function buddydev_search_member_by_user_id( $args ) {

	if ( empty( $args['search_terms'] ) ) {
		return $args;
	}
	$prefix = strtolower( "INDIA77" ); // Change the prefix if you are using a different prefix

	$term = strtolower( trim( $args['search_terms'] ) );

	if ( stripos( $term, $prefix )  === 0 ) { //must start with
		$id = str_replace( $prefix, '', $term );
		$args['include'] = absint( $id ); // only this user please
		$args['search_terms'] = ''; // reset search term
	}

	return $args;
}

add_filter( 'bp_after_has_members_parse_args', 'buddydev_search_member_by_user_id' );

here we are making sure that our search term starts with the “prefix” and then we replace the prefix to find the id. rest is same.

Hope that helps.
