    Hi there!

    I have a elementor template added to my navigation search megamenu. For the requirements of my website I need to add three different forms which are in the following order
    1. A search box and sort by.
    2. A taxonomy of collections.
    3. Category and another taxonomy.

    I need to create three different forms because each of them vary a lot in styles. My forms are pointed to a post grid.
    The problem I face is at one particular time only 2 forms would work properly. If i disable any one out of the three the other two forms start working but when all the three forms are enabled, one gets disabled and the other two work. Please help me fix this.

    Let us assume that the forms are on a single page where the results will show in a single block (for example, a Posts element). At the moment, we do not recommend more than a single form to link to that. Any more than that and they are likely to conflict, or simply not work.

    We have received feature requests to allow the one form to be broken into parts to be placed (and styled) in different places (and differently styled) on the page.

    We have taken those requests on board for our forthcoming V3 (which we hope to release in June). For example, you might have a form in WooCommerce that has a Search Box (text field), a Sort Order drop down, and then other fields (Product Categories, Product Tags, Variations, etc). You will be able to place the Search Box in the header, and the Sort Order above the products, and the rest of the form in the sidebar.

    But, that is not possible right now.

    Thank you for your reply. That makes things clear. I will be waiting for the update.

    Another question. Is it possible to place the different taxonomies (I have 3 on my website) inside expanding accordions?

    Again, something that will, we hope, come in V3, but for now you can do it with custom javascript. I do not have any snippets to share with you though, sorry.
