    Hi,

    I have a website with Polylang enabled.

    For editorial reasons one of the post types doesn’t have multilingual enabled.

    When I try to create a Search and Filter form for this specific post type, I never get results.

    How can I get around this?

    Thanks.

    I am not sure it is possible to do that, but I would need to ask our developer, Ross, so I will refer this thread to him.

    Thank you Trevor.

    My temporary workaround is to enable the post type in PolyLang, treat every post as English and adjust S&F query to include English in all interface languages. This kind of works for my case, but now I have all the PolyLang interface options in a post type where I don’t need it.

    Hi Guilherme

    I’m trying to find some time to set aside for this.

    It looks like as Polylang is evolving, we may need to write some custom code (or create a bridge plugin) to get S&F to integrate better – if thats the case, it will be something we push back once version 3 has been released (some months away yet).

    I still need to spin up the dev environment and take a look though, hopefully later on today or tomorrow – I’ll let you know when I know more.

    Thanks

    Hi Guilherme

    So I took a look in, and I’m seeing some issues.

    We need to re-look at how we approach Polylang and build something custom to support it – I’ll have to reach out for some of their input and see what the best next steps are.

    Are you ok, say, running the site as it is for a few months, then once v3 is out, we can address this properly together?

    Thanks

    Sure.

    The workaround we developed works fine, but it was tricky to test and configure.

    It would be great if S&F could offer better support for polylang disabled post types or just let us configure polylang integration on a case by case basis.

    Thank you.
