    Are the videos embedded in posts? How are you putting them on a page?

    Hi Trevor,

    I am using the Youtube plugin to host the videos, but won’t need to pull information from the videos, just the text boxes underneath them. Basically, I am trying to create a search filter like this: https://yogainternational.com/classes/

    Let me know your thoughts and if the search and filter plugin can be configured with how I’ve established my page, or how else I would need to set up the page to use the plugin.

    Thanks for your help!

    If that data is not in your WordPress database, it cannot be indexed and cached and thus the plugin cannot search it.

    Thanks for your reply. This is slowly starting to make sense.

    I’m recreating the page as a series of movie blog posts to utilize the tag indexing.

    I want to index three things and have three dropdowns for them. I am currently specifying the three criteria as tags in the post, and would like to include and exclude results with specific tags three times, once for each of the three indexes. I then created a search form and added the three tag fields to the search form UI and named them for the three things I want to index.

    This whole plan was going so well until I realized that in the tax, categories and taxonomies tab it appears I can only specify the tags once, and then those specifications pertain to all Tag fields in the search form. Am I understanding this correctly, or is there a way to include and exclude different tags for each of the three tag fields in the search form?

    I can also utilize the category field, but that only gives me two of the three indexing options I’m looking for (tags and categories). Is there another post index I can use to get what I’m trying to achieve?

    LAST QUESTION! How can I make the search form as a horizontal menu?

    Hi Brentan

    If you have taxonomy terms in the core category/tags taxonomy that requires two form fields to filter as you want, then your site data is not structured correctly. You need to add one or more custom taxonomies, and/or use custom posts, and/or use custom fields (meta data). Using the free plugins CPT UI (Custom Post Type UI) and ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) you can add this structure. and then you can add unique form fields to filter the data.

    As to Horizontal, you need custom css. If you theme has no way to add this, then you can use a plugin like Simple Custom CSS. A quick search in the forum for the word horizontal reveals solutions you might try:
