    Another question: how would I go about using this for basketball AND football recruits? I don’t want to have to have the user sort through them combined – I’d need 2 setups?

    Thanks!

    Take a look at this article, it should give you some ideas how that can be done:

    Thanks for this Roland. The issue I am having is I am not using the signup form so I can’t use the example you posted above.

    My admin and editors will add the participant info from the wp-admin dashboard. I needed a way to display the “[pdb_list]” shortcode that’ll only show all Basketball players and another that displays only Football players.

    Is that doable?

    If the records are getting added in the backend, the result is the same. You don’t need the signup form, you really only need a field that can be used to differentiate the records, then you would use that field to filter the list display.

    Like for instance a radio button to select the sport in the record when it gets entered.

    So I added a group called “Sport”. Then I added a field with the name “sport_select”. I added radio buttons with the options “Basketball” and “Football”.

    The shortcode I used is [pdb_list filter=”select_sport=basketball”] Is that correct?

    Yes, that’s it.
