    Hi, I have a custom post type and I’m using ACF with that CPT. I need to create dropdown search based on one of the fields (county) that returns all the ACF fields associated. Can this be done with a shortcode or do I need to create a custom archive template with a custom loop? I tried to look through the documentation and the forum but was having trouble finding relevant info.

    Thanks!

    I had to rebuild the cache. You also had a setting for Relevanssi enabled, but with no search box and that plugin not installed anyway, that may also have been an issue.

    Yeah, I turned it on just because I was trying everything. I don’t see it working now though, not sure what rebuilding the cache did. Were you able to get the ACF fields to return in the results too?

    This is what I see. To get the fields to show in the results you would need to code them into the template, using this guide:

    https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/search-results/using-a-shortcode/#customising-the-results

    The extra code would likely need to look like this:

    <?php $county = get_field('county');
if( $county ) { ?>
<div class="county-field">County: <?php echo $county; ?></div>
<?php } ?>
