    Hi,
    I need my search form to work like so:
    https://www.reogroup.com.au/job-search

    It currently works as so:
    https://staging1-reogroup.headstudios.com.au/search

    Couple of things:

    1) I need to have the Search box at the top of the page instead of the left (along with the filters on the left) – I assume it’s not possible to have 2 shortcodes with 2 separate filters and then have them work on one results shortcode? If not perhaps I could just edit the shortcode block to cover the two divs? What would you recommend?

    2) The ‘Location’ box on the current site has a drop down of Location taxonomies along with the amount of jobs in each. Is it possible to have this type of drop down in Search and Filter? If not how would you recommend to implement it?

    Thanks!

    1. This is not currently possible. The text search box must be where it is. V3 of our plugin, some months away yet, will allow the form component parts to be moved to other parts of the page. There can only be one form on the page.

    2. In the plugin settings, you will see an option to set the Combobox script to Select2, do this.
    In the form control, set it to dropdown and also enable the combobox setting.

    That combobox looks great – out of curiosity what theming do you use for that? Is there any UI CSS theme/kits you would recommend to make it look nicer?

    Also I understand about not having different sections and while I look forward to the next version of the plugin as I need to get this finished now – I’m a WP developer myself and can look into doing this as a custom job.

    If there is any input you could give on some pointers on how you would do it if you were custom coding it on a site based on your knowledge of the plugin and code it would be much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    The styling of select2 controls in our plugin is done via CSS, see this post:

    As to the coding, I am sorry, I have no suggestions to make in that regard.
