    Apologies for been vague, but I can’t get the pro version to work. I had the basic plugin functioning fine but not the pro version.

    I am trying to filter my posts by dropdown of the categories. (actually i am trying to do something more complex, but I can’t even get the basic functionality to work)

    I have “posts” ticked under settings and in the form builder I just have “category” and “submit button”.

    The dropdown shows the correct count of posts, but clicking submit doesn’t filter them.

    I have tried with custom template ticked and unticked with same results. I am not using Ajax but would like to do so if I can get this to work.

    Help appreciated. Thank you.

    I may have fixed this. I duplicated my search.php page and stripped out some code that the theme I used added and it has filtered the results ok. Fingers crossed.

    Hey Rob, if it was something like query_posts then yeah you probably did it right 😉

    Hi Ross, yes indeed query_posts was in there! I took it out and it worked.

    Only problem I am having now is I don’t have any pagination in the search.php page. (or if i do its not working)

    Any idea how to add this or get it working please?

    The theme pages, posts allow me to use pagination but when using search.php as custom template there is no initial pagination.

    Thank you 🙂

    Hey Rob sorry would you mind posting again? Your code is broken because you did not place it in code blocks…

    Use backticks ` around the code and I’ll try to take a look.

    Just as a quick one, I don’t see your pagination anywhere on that link at all, which means the template is not displaying it…

    Maybe your theme’s specific pagination functions do not allow them to appear on this page… The fact that it works with its own query_posts means this might be the case.

    Have you tried using standard WP pagination to see if that works?

    The first example shows which functions to use…

    🙂
