# Membertype based directory

 * Is it possible to only show results of users with a specific member type?
 * On my site I have members assigned to different BuddyPress member-type namely
   User and Practitioner.
 * I would like the BP search to only show results for users that are assigned the
   Buddypress member-type Practitioner. I am using the shortcode [bps_directory]
   I went through the documentation available at: [https://dontdream.it/bp-profile-search/custom-directories/](https://dontdream.it/bp-profile-search/custom-directories/)
   but couldn’t find any mention of how to create custom directories based on member-
   type.
 * Is this possible?

 * Hi ichars,
 * You can use a shortcode like this:
 * `[bps_directory bp_member_type='Student']`
 * I’m going to update the documentation, thank you for letting me know.
