Ross.
Congrats for this awesome plugin!
Please help me with something. I have the next structure:
CATEGORY 1
SUBCATEGORY 1
SUBCATEGORY 2
CATEGORY 2
SUBCATEGORY 3
CATEGORY 3
All the posts are using the same taxonomies (example: collection). But I need to filter the posts for each category independently of everything the rest of the site.
Example: I am in SUBCATEGORY 1 and I choose to filter by collection term “SUMMER”. I should have only the posts from SUBCATEGORY 1 with term “SUMMER”. Instead, I have all the posts from the website with term “SUMMER”.
What should I do in order to achieve this filtering?
Thanks.
Hi Andrei, sorry about the delay in getting back to you..
I have not replied to others since I first noticed your message and I do not provide support over the weekend (its mentioned on the plugin page) so apologies but thats why you’ve not heard anything.
RE the problem you initially mentioned – I think this is the way the plugin works, so sounds like there may be a bug or a conflict.
Do you have a link I could look at?
Thanks
Hello Ross,
I think I know what’s wrong. When I add a new search form, I have to choose the “Post Types”. In this moment I can choose between posts, pages and the custom post types that I have on the website. And after that I can filter all the posts from that post type.
But I need to choose even deeper. I need to filter a specific category or taxonomy from a post type.
Do you think it’s possible for you to create such an option? I mean after I choose the post type, then to choose a category or taxonomy from that custom post type? Something more specific I mean, not the hole post type?
Thanks,
Andrei M
Hey Andrei, yeah this is something I’ve been meaning to add for a while but its pretty tricky to setup… It is on my list to of things to do and I have already started this but unfortunately its not ready yet! 🙁
Hi Ross. Thank you for the reply. I understand. I know it’s a big one, but can you tell me when do you think you will finish this feature? I already bought the plugin but I can’t use it… I think I can make something else temporary until you add this but I really need to know when. Thanks.
Hey Andrei, realistically I think its going to be about 2 weeks before the next big update which I will try to include this in – I’ll of course try to get it complete ASAP but I think thats the quickest I can get the next update ready.
Thanks
