 * I have tried every combination to hide columns but with no success. I have tried…
 * [userlist list=3 filter=hide columnname=wp_s2member_custom_fields-about_me]
    [
   userlist list=3 filter=hide columnname=about_me] [userlist list=3 filter=hide
   columnname=about me] [userlist list=3 filter=hide columnname=About Me]
 * What am I missing? As you can see I am using s2member but also Buddypress.
 * Thanks!
 * note – I have also tried adding the column to the display order and then removing
   the order number – no luck.

 * [userlist list=3 filter=hide wp_s2member_custom_fields-about_me=value_you_want_to_filter_for]
 * replace
    value_you_want_to_filter_for with the value that you are filtering for
 * Doesn’t make sense with a descriptive column. Usually you are filtering where
   there are a defined set of values
 * eg: country=elbonia

 * Thanks for the quick response. I am trying to hide columns so that I can include
   the data in the columns in search results.
 * What is the best way to hide columns but still have their fields be included 
   in search?
 * I have also tried adding the column to the display order and then removing the
   order number. No luck. The data is not searched.

 * Nope, sorry plugin doesn’t work like that. Search searches the cache so data 
   has to be there. You could try hiding with css ?
 * or using another plugin.
 * Personally I find it strange in seraching if I cannot see what I searched for
   in the results if you know what I mean
