We now have an extra extension just for Elementor Pro, which you can download (if you are logged in) from top of this guide page (which shows how it should be used with the Posts widget):
https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/3rd-party/elementor/
This will require a few changes to the form and the page setup, but will work much better than the way it is currently setup.

Hello! Filtration system is set up in elementor. Page is in 2 columns. In 1 is filter in other is posts widget. Posts widget query is set up to search and filter and not found message field is filled. When filtering for non existing post it shows not found message. But when filtering for existing post it doesnt show it and don’t show not found message. How to fix it?
Ah, I think I see the problem. The form is inside a slide in panel using the Elementor button. Did you also use our Elementor extension?
It can be downloaded from the guide page (you will see the download button if you are logged in)?

You will need to set an Elementor template for the shop, using the Theme Builder in Elementor, and use the Archive Product widget.
So, I am looking at your list of plugins, and I do not see the Elementor extension that can be downloaded from the guide page (you will see the download button if you are logged in)?

Hi there,
I just installed and set up a search form. After that I installed my Search & filter elementor extension. When I go to my posts page on Elementor and try to add the Query Source as “Search & Filter Query” it won’t appear there. It doesn’t appear either on the “Display results method” options on the actual Search & Filter form.
Is it possible that is because I installed the elementor extension after creating the form ?
Is it possible to enable that or should I create a new form ?

Well, I changed the widget and put the elementor official product, followed the steps that you linked and it worked. Thank you very much for your help.
You said:
To display the products i’m using the universal product layout widget of the woolentor plugin.
That may be the problem, as we do not support that third party addon for Elementor, only the widgets shown in this guide:
https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/3rd-party/elementor/
It might be possible to get it to work with the form display results method set to Custom (as you have) and Ajax OFF (you have it ON right now). I am a bit worried that so many terms show 0 count?
You will still have the form on the page as now, but just before (above) the results, have a text widget with something like this in:
[searchandfilter id=792" action="filter_next_query"]
The guide here shows how to set the forms for use in Post Archive (and thus associated Post Type Taxonomy Archive) pages (you need to be using the Archive Posts widget in the template for these pages, and our form needs to be set to the Post Type Archive method, which restricts you to searching in a single Post type):
https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/3rd-party/elementor/#archive-posts-archive-products-widgets
This method does not require a results URL.
One issue that I see is that you are using the resource_category twice in the form, which is not allowed. You would need to make a second custom taxonomy and transfer the terms. This post discusses the issue and solution:

I have a search form about 1/3 down on https://rdusdev3.wpengine.com/news/ which is working great. I’d like to provide that same search form (or at least one that looks and works exactly like it) on archive pages (eg https://rdusdev3.wpengine.com/tag/amazon/ ) but, since I have the results url set to https://rdusdev3.wpengine.com/news/, that form bounces users back to that url. How would you suggest addressing this? And of course I need to do this without breaking my other form on https://rdusdev3.wpengine.com/news/
Thanks so much!
