 * Hi there,
 * I am able to create a custom members grid template, however, my search form will
   not show. What am I missing?
 * I copied members-grid.php and it worked as expected, except unfortunately it 
   is not picking up my search options. Thanks in advance.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmissing-search%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Thank you [@findingitontheway](https://wordpress.org/support/users/findingitontheway/),
 * I will look deeper into it, but unfortunately, it may be over my head since I
   don’t know the code that well and wish to search by custom fields. I had only
   stripped out some code to hide it for design purposes in my template.

 * [@squinx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/squinx/):
 * I found a solution for my issue and added following code just after <?php /* 
   Template: XY */ ?> .
 *     ```
       <div class="um <?php echo $this->get_class( $mode ); ?> um-<?php echo $form_id; ?>">
       <div class="um-form">
       <?php do_action('um_members_directory_search', $args ); ?>
       <?php do_action('um_members_directory_head', $args ); ?>
       </div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Maybe it will help you as well.
