Ross Moderator(Private) November 9, 2015 at 1:58 pm #29212It sounds like you might still have S&F free enabled?
Do you see the option “Search & Filter” in the wordpress admin?
Thanks

About
Search & Filter is a simple search and filtering plugin for WordPress brought to you by Designs & Code.
It is essentially an advancement of the WordPress search box, adding taxonomy and post type filters to really refine your searches.
You can search by Category, Tag, Custom Taxonomy, Post Type or any combination of these easily – you can even remove the search box and simply use it as a filtering system for your posts and pages. Taxonomies and Post Types can be displayed as dropdown selects, checkboxes, radio buttons or multiselects.
DocumentationAdvanced documentation and examples has now moved – find it on our Search & Filter Plugin Documentation.
Please find below limited documentation to get you started.
How To UseTo display Search & Filter all you need to do is a use a shortcode:
[searchandfilter taxonomies=”category,post_tag”]
This will display a search box, a category dropdown and a tag dropdown. You can use the shortcode within posts/pages and widget areas.To use this within a theme file you simple need to call the
do_shorcode
function with the shortcode above within the theme file:
<?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[searchandfilter taxonomies=”category,post_tag”]’ ); ?>
ArgumentsExamples for most of the arguments below can be found over on the Search & Filter Plugin Documentation.

StylingSearch & Filter uses standard inputs and selects, form elements are contained in an unordered list – styling should be easy. Please see CSS file for base styles used.
Search & Filter Prefers Clean URLs!If any fields are submitted that have blank values they do not get added to the URL, for example, if the search box is empty when submitting, you will not find a
?s=
in the URL.In addition to this, if permalinks are enabled, when you submit a search, Search & Filter will try to remove
category_name
from the url and instead rewrites the URL to first obey a clean category URL with the rest of the query string following.Becomes:
http://www.yourdomain.com/category/uncategorized/?s=searchterm&tag=shoes&customtaxonomy=customvalueThe built in WordPress rewrites wouldn’t normally handle this.

As I mentioned above, you have S&F FREE enabled.
Disable the Free plugin and you should be able to use the Pro plugin.
Thanks
Ross Moderator(Private) November 9, 2015 at 2:47 pm #29221Hi Jeff
There is S&F free, and S&F Pro.
They are two different plugins, that cannot be active at the same time.
So, as usual with any other plugin, goto your plugins page and disable “Search & Filter”
Then install Search & Filter Pro, and activate it. You will find a download link for Pro in your welcome email, or you can download it again from Your Account.
