    Hello, I’m trying to build a similar site functionality as the demo listed
    http://demo.designsandcode.com/sfpro-movie-reviews/

    Is there a tutorial on how to get it set up like the example? I purchased the pro version of the plugin and have started building on a website.

    There isn’t I am afraid. The demo is built on a standard WP Theme. The choice of theme is THE most critical decision that you will make. It is VERY painful to find that you got 75% of the way there to be tripped up because using plugins, like Search & Filter, was never considered by the Theme author.

    What Theme authors should do is to use standard WordPress (codex) methods and coding practices. But many use ‘alternative’ coding (sometimes coding that was deprecated by WordPress a long time ago), thus making everybody’s life harder.

    That having been said (muttered), what theme are you using?

    What is it that isn’t working? It might be an idea to screenshot the first 2 tabs (General and Display Results) and let us look at those.

    Hi Trevor,

    Here are my settings: http://imgur.com/a/xVIOC

    Main thing is I was wondering how to get the images to show on the side I’m basically trying to recreate the same view. To create an exact copy of this site so I can modify it after.

    I know that Ross wrote his own template file. I am sure he showed it to me not so long ago, but I do not see it on my computer. There was a thread about it about a week or so ago.

    But I do not think it is there. I don’t think the thread went anywhere.

    I checked back on the IM conversation and he didn’t show it me. All he said was that it was a customized version of the search.php file that came with that theme. For any other theme it would be useless. I suppose it depends on the theme you are using.
