    Hello, I’m not quite sure how to set this widget up. I want to filter the search results by an ACF field named “games”. How should I configure the settings?

    ACF Field:

    Hey Nick

    I so did you add a meta field to the form UI? You need to add one of these, then as the meta key choose games….

    Then select the choice input tab, and click on auto suggest to find some values for it?

    Thanks

    I have already done this as shown in the post meta screenshot above. The auto suggest provided all of the necessary meta tags.

    Ok so what have you done next to try to get it working on the site?

    What I would suggest next then is the following:

    1) Make sure this form has “use ajax” ticked, and “use shortcode” ticked.
    2) Then create a new page, and paste the two shortcodes for this S&F form in to the page (you can find the shortcodes by viewing all your S&F forms (just click Search & Filter in the nav of the of WP), the shortcodes should look something like:

    [searchandfilter id="824"]
[searchandfilter id="824" show="results"]

    However your IDs will be different.

    Then visit this page, and see how the form is working.

    Can you let me know exactly what is happening in this scenario?

    Thanks
