    Hello,
    I recently bought this plugin but I am having problems starting it work.

    I have custom posts called ‘trainer’ with custom fields (ACF).
    I want to display filtering on custom template (archive-trainer.php), where right now I have:

     <?php 
            echo do_shortcode('[searchandfilter id="1513"]');
            echo get_trainers(); 
?>

    The function get_trainers contains custom WP query

    function get_trainers()
{
    $html = '';
    
    $args = array(
    'showposts' => 10,
    'post_type' => 'trainer',
    );

    // attach S&F
    do_action("search_filter_query_posts", 1513);

    $query = new WP_Query( $args );
    $trainers = $query->posts;
    var_dump( $GLOBALS['wp_query']->request);
var_dump($trainers);

}

    In S&F admin I have set display results method: custom and I have provided correct url of the page where the archive is.

    If I var_dump last query, no S&F filtering is performed 🙁
    Could you please give me a hint what I am missing? 🙂

    Thanks
    Karel

    If you remove the line:

    do_action("search_filter_query_posts", 1513);

    do you get results?

    I do get full set of results, when this line is or is not present.
    The only difference is when the line is present is this statement in SQL wp_posts.ID IN (1284,1495,1503,1504,1505,1506,1508) (and this statement is there if i try filtering anything…

    Ah, I see. I misunderstood your initial question. I am sorry for that. At least, I think I understand.

    Showing the word searched for is not so difficult. If you have other filters, then it becomes a little more complex, but I can give you links. The documentation page:

    https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/accessing-search-data/

    This thread might help you:

    https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/topic/accessing-field-slug-on-search-results/

    … and this search will give similar threads I think:

    Well I might have asked wrong way 🙂

    The thing is the filter as I call it with the shortcode shows up, but if I try to filter results (e.g. I select one region in the dropdown or white a text to the search input and press submit), nothing changes – the result set of $trainers remains unchanged (unfiltered), so as the $GLOBALS[‘wp_query’]->request).

    From your first link you provided, I tried this code:

     $sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1513)->current_query();
    echo '<pre>';
    print_r($sf_current_query->get_array());
    echo '</pre>';

    and got 

    array (size=10)
  'paged' => int 1
  'search_filter_id' => int 1513
  'search_filter_override' => boolean false
  'posts_per_page' => int 10
  'post_status' => 
    array (size=1)
      0 => string 'publish' (length=7)
  'meta_query' => 
    array (size=0)
      empty
  'post_type' => string 'trainer' (length=7)
  'is_search' => boolean true
  'is_archive' => boolean true
  'post__in' => 
    array (size=7)
      0 => int 1284
      1 => int 1495
      2 => int 1503
      3 => int 1504
      4 => int 1505
      5 => int 1506
      6 => int 1508

    (notice there is no sign of filtering in the array). This is my main problem.

    It seems the filtering request (for example I write ‘Jane’ to the search input, or select region 1) does not come to the query. I believe I went through the documentation but I am not sure if I am missing something how to link the S&F filter with the WP Query so the filtering would work…

    Ah, OK

    Instead of using do_action, you can add the filter to the args. Here is an example:

    $args = array(
    'showposts' => 10,
    'post_type' => 'trainer',
    'search_filter_id' => '1513',
);

    I assume your form ID is 1513.

    Thanks Trevor. Yes, the form ID is 1513.

    I made a mistake. With or without ‘search_filter_id’ => ‘1513’ or do_action, I receive an empty array.

    (The dump I sent before was another debug from the core of your plugin, sorry for mistake.)

    Can you do a test using the shortcode method instead (no coding required)? And see if the filter works correctly?

    I created a new page called Test, inserted 

    [searchandfilter id="1513"]
[searchandfilter id="1513" show="results"]

    then in S&F admin changed Display results method using shortcode and changed result url

    And the filter does not work the very same way as on custom template with custom WP query 🙁
    I even tried to deactivate all plugins 🙁
