I have been using S&F for over a year with great results. I have just upgraded to the latest version and upon doing so I noticed some issues that I hadn’t noticed previously. I have a complex search form (located in a page sidebar) which includes some post meta fields. You can find the search on the right hand side of the following page… http://www.horsingaroundvictoria.com/eat/. The problem is that if I use multiple instances of the same custom field in a single post only the data found in the first instance will be returned by the Search. For example if I place the value Chinese” in the first instance of the “Region” custom field in my post and the value “Indian” in the second instance of the “Region” custom field then S&F will only “find” the post when I set my search parameter to Chinese. If I serach for Indian the post does not return. Is there a way around this? I have tried everything from re-building the Search form to re-entering meta data in posts, etc. I have tried this across many posts and with different custom fields and the behaviour is 100% consistent.
I have a second problem which is that the checkboxes in my Search form don’t awlays appear before the item they reference. The checkbox may appear on the line before the value, or they may appear on the line after depending on how the spacing works out. I’m almost positive they lined up properly before I upgraded. I know that I may have to do some tweaking to make some of the terms shorter but is there a way in general to make the boxes “stick” to the terms they are associated with?
Thanks for your help, and I apologize for my total lack of coding knowledge. I am one of those awful “plug it in and see if it works” types.
