Hi Alberto

I think that when they released Avada 4 they integrated the wp_query (the bits that gets the posts and applies the filters) deeper into their code and out of the search.php template, making the archive method impractical. Instead it will be necessary (at least other users have done this) to use our Shortcode method.

To test this, build a results page with the shortcode for the form (or use the widget) and the shortcode for the results and first see if this works.

I did make a couple of changes to your form, the most useful at this phase of development is to have the post count showing in the form tags element. That way you can see what to expect in the results. If the number you see there is wrong, then you have most likely made a setup mistake. The most common of these is in the Includes and Excludes of the Categories Tags and Taxonomies, so be very wary of using that tab until you know everything else is working, and then test carefully as you go.

The most important thing with the shortcode method is to make a local template copy of the results.php file. The layout and general content can be changed, so don’t worry about that for now.

The free Search & Filter is totally different to the paid version. I can provide you with a modified results.php, so no work required for you there. All I need is an example page of what it should look like (a page that does NOT use Isotope or masonry in the grid).

I will wait for you then.

The overflow of the select box is due to the length of the options/terms. Some Custom CSS will fix this:

.searchandfilter select.sf-input-select {max-width: 225px;}

The Auto Submit is set in the form settings on the General Tab. You would uncheck this setting. I have done this for you already.

Yes, the results can be like that. At this time, your search is still ‘As an Archive’. You will need to change this to the Shortcode method in the Display Results settings tab, and also set a URL for the results. This can be a new page (which you would have to make and you would make it with the sidebar like the Guias page) or it can be the Guias page, in which case you must choose how you want the results to look (and the unfiltered page). Like the Guias page or like the tag results page you get when clicking one fo those 3 buttons.
