    Hi,
    We recently acquired this plugin and we managed to get very close to what we wanted, since we are not very code savvy, we couldn’t get the search page to get aligned properly in grid mode and some more small tweaks, and we need help.

    Could you please point out where we could find more information to customize this plugin the way we want or help us out with those last edits?

    If so what do I need to provide you to check my code?
    I can’t send the website link yet because it is not yet live.

    Thank you

    Hi Erica

    Which of the Display Results methods did you use?

    ‘As an Archive’, ‘Post Type Archive’, ‘WooCommerce’ and ‘EDD’ will use the templates from the Theme and thus are most easy to make look like your theme. The shortcode method is the more flexible, in that you can make your own template. We DO give a default/example template within the plugin (see the documentation for making a custom copy), but, unless your theme gives you a visual layout builder, this means hand coding. And then it gets hard if you are not very familiar with the theme you are using, PHP, the WordPress Codex and jQuery.

    To answer that last question first, it would depend on the theme you use. I know that for the theme framework I use, the theme author re-wrote their code to specifically detect the presence of S&F Pro and to get it to work. I have not seen that from any of the other page builder authors.

    As long as you have a ‘normal’ sample page that you want the results to look like, and that code doesn’t use special javascript (such as masonry), it isn’t so hard to modify the results.php file to make them look much the same. I can help you do that.

    In our sample results.php file, I found some html errors that I hope we have since fixed, but you may still have them.

    Around the tags and other parts, we had put <p> tags (paragraph), which should look like this:

    <p><?php the_category(); ?></p>
    <p><?php the_tags(); ?></p>
    <p><small><?php the_date(); ?></small></p>

    but the end tags were wrong on the 2.1.2 version (at least), so they looked like this:

    <p><?php the_category(); ?><p>
    <p><?php the_tags(); ?><p>
    <p><small><?php the_date(); ?></small><p>

    Can you see that the end slashes are missing? This causes most browsers to convert these to extra line breaks (<br>).

    The weekend past was a holiday weekend (it was a National holiday here until today), so apologies for the slightly tardy reply.

    A couple of questions. Did you make a custom results.php as shown here in the documentation?

    Am I able to see this page live (working)? If it is behind a ‘coming soon’ screen, please send me logins. I may need to see the admin of the site, if so, I will need admin logins.

    I tried to log in with that url (/wp-admin) and those username and passwords, but it denies me.
