    I have 3 entries in the database for Grantees. I have the search form with counts enabled and it shows 0. I added the short code and get 3 errors for the the 3 entries and the title. I also have code to output the search results using wp-query. Could use some help in making it work with ACF plugin.

    I can provide code and/or access in a private manner, if possible.

    If these are ACF fields, please make sure that the meta key name used in the form fields does NOT start with _. If it does, look further down the list of field names for the same name with the preceding underscore.

    I tried both _fieldname and fieldname. The one without the underscore works…I get 3 results and 3 No Results.

    To see my template, got to Editor, page-grantees.php and thank you so much.

    OK

    The first issue was in the form setup, in the Post Meta setup tab there was an incomplete condition meaning no results were being returned. I have deleted that and it now shows results.

    I have edited the template file and tidied it up a bit. Look in that template file and see the $args, where I have added the filter ID and I have changed the search form Display Results method to as an Archive and in the template file I have added an ID to the results table called main so that Ajax can target it.
