Thanks! I hadn’t set the fields to display. I am concerned with the errot you see. I don’t know enough php to even hazard a guess. I’ll ask my provider to look at the htaccess file.
Thanks Again for the excellent support.

I think I posted this question in the wrong place. I don’t seem to be able to get the search capability working. I set it to true but not sure where the dropdown is supposed to show.
I have only one short code on my page for list do do I need to add the fields short code to be able to see the search dropdown?
At this point the only one entering data is me so I haven’t built pages for anything else but being able to display the database and search or sort it.
Sorry if I’m being obtuse

Raz,
The search form will appear above the list of records.
Paste in the exact shortcode you’re using, and I’ll see if you got it right.

So you know when you put fresh eyes on something you can suddenly see? As soon as I pasted this I saw I had missed the quotation mark. I decided to tell the truth though and put it in there.
You can count on me to put some money in the jar. You provide excellent support.

Thanks! Yeah, errors in the shortcode are not uncommon, I’ve found.
Hi, Roland, and first of all, thanks for all of the hard work that went into this.
I’m running into two issues (maybe related?) that I’m hoping you can help with. The first is that, although my nonprofit’s WP installation at Dreamhost is able to send email without difficulty, the Participants Database plugin apparently can’t, at least not when new people sign up (page: http://slowfoodcolumbus.org/volunteer/ ). I’ve made sure that the relevant boxes are checked (send a reply email, send a notification email); I’ve tried turning off any other plugin that might be using mail; and I’ve tried installing WP-Mail-SMTP (the SMTP test mail doesn’t send, but the PHP test mail does.) I’ve also checked spam folders. I’ve run out of ideas as to how to get the plugin to send mail when someone registers.
Second, I’ve installed all of the [pdb_foo] shortcodes on the relevant pages, and they all work… except for [pdb_thanks]. It just shows up on the “Thank you!” page as plaintext.
My only guess is that [pdb_thanks] is supposed to trigger an email event, and it’s not doing so for some reason… but that’s pure speculation. Any advice you can offer would be much appreciated.
You’re right about the shortcode triggering the email.
The problem is the documentation was incorrect about the shortcode…the correct shortcode is [pdb_signup_thanks]
Sorry about the confusion. I have to rush off and fix that.
Bingo! That did it. Thanks very much.
