    Hello, to be honest the plugin is not as straightforward as I would have liked but I’m giving it a go.

    I’ve built a site using Pods and Beaver Themer and first off wondering whether there is already a conflict, should I stop investigating how to resolve the issue with getting just a simple Range-slider to work???

    I have a Pods field set to text input rather than “Currency” with the title of “Price” and within the Range-slider settings I see _Price and Price listed, neither are working.

    I am displaying the form result with a shortcode within a Beaver Themer template, if I remove the Post-meta from the search form and only use the post type (in my case new and used vehicles) it will produce the correct results.

    thanks

    Ollie

    A slider can only work on numerical data, so it rather depends on what is stored in the database in these fields. You can find that out easily by changing the Form UI field settings from Number to Choice, select the meta key for your price custom field, and then at the bottom change Get Options to Manual Entry (from Automatically) and then click Browse values and you will be shown what values are in the database. A numerical field must have only numbers (and the decimal separator). No other symbols, letters, currency signs, etc are allowed. If no data is shown, you may have the wrong key.

    Post with no data in this key, when using a range slider, will not appear in the results at all.
