I’m stuck trying to make this work on The7 theme.

What I want to do

– create a directory page (search by category and location), and also an event page (search by category and date range).

What I have done

– created Directory page and Directory results page. Created Events page and Events search results page.
– created a form in S&F and put the first shortcode as a Widget in the sidebar of Directory Page.
– put the second shortcode in Directory Results page.

Form settings used and different outcomes:

– As an Archive, using themes Search.php. This brings up the results, although it is bringing up some elements from the theme I don’t want. Am I write in thinking if I duplicate the search.php and rename one directorysearch.php and eventsearch.php and then adjust these with help from the Theme developer, this will be the best solution? I’ve tried using other template phps from the theme but they don’t seem to work right.

– The filter I have created has checkboxes and I want the use can select more than one. Currently if use does this the result comes back ‘Nothing Found’. This happens both if Field Relationship is AND/OR.

Sorry if this is a bit basic, I’ve been fiddling around for ages trying to get it right but now I’m tired so coming here to ask finally.
