Thanks you. All is good now.

One thing though, I want to change the _sft_ prefix to something like location_

I did a search and replace on everywhere inside the plugin where there was _sft_ to location_

But it completely destroyed the search (0 results every time).

So I un-installed, re-installed the plugin and rebuilt a search form.

But still no go. As long as the prefix is not _sft_ the search is ruined.

I couldn’t figure out why.

These are the lines where I replaced _sft_ :

class-search-filter-post-cache.php –
20.725 array_push($filters, “_sft_”.$field[‘taxonomy_name’]);
38.682 $insert_arr[“_sft_”.$taxonomy_slug] = array();
38.823 array_push($insert_arr[“_sft_”.$taxonomy_slug], $term->term_id);

class-search-filter-config.php
4.356 array_push($filters, “_sft_”.$field[‘taxonomy_name’]);
4.721 array_push($fields, “_sft_”.$tax_field);

class-search-filter-display-shortcode.php
342 define(‘SF_TAX_PRE’, ‘_sft_’);

Can you help me?

This worked: http://mydomain.com/?_sft_city=test-city

After the change, this did not work: http://mydomain.com/?location_city=test-city

I see. I have seen it implemented with your plugin in another site so it is possible.

I just can’t wrap my head around why this does not work…

No.

I even went to the MySQL db and replaced all references of _sft_ with location_, but still no go.

Unless I’m doing something stupidly wrong this is pretty bizzare.
