    Hi,

    I Just purchased and ran through the basic search setup which works fine, I’ve moved on to deal with searching my Pages which use ACF Meta and run into a problem.

    Search Form – https://www.dropbox.com/s/bwxt0c1w7pjc7vr/Screenshot%202017-01-04%2012.39.02.jpg?dl=0
    Front End – https://www.dropbox.com/s/3geo3tfd94u8nfg/Screenshot%202017-01-04%2012.39.20.jpg?dl=0

    At present there are two Property types so after setting this up I was expecting to see them in the drop down on the front end, instead all I get (which ever ACF Meta I try to use) is the Field ID as seen in the the Front end screenshot.

    I seem to be doing something wrong right out the gate. I’ve triple checked, read the forums and started from scratch again. please advise.

    Regards,
    Martyn

    See the meta key name where it is _property_type?

    Look again in the list to find:

    property_type

    (No preceding underscore)

    Thank you,

    That was a long list and property type was way down. All seems to be working nicely now.

    Couple of other things:

    1. Do you have a basic 3 column template I could use for the results page? I assumed there would be some layout options in the settings.

    2. In my pre-sale questions I enquired about laying out the search options horizontally. Could you explain how this can be achieved please.

    Kind Regards,
    Martyn

    1. Are you using the Shortcode results method? Are you using a premium them, and if so, does it have Visual Composer?
    2. This will require Custom CSS. There are many code snippets here in the forum, if you search for the key term horizontal you will find these. If you are able to show me the form as you have it, and an idea of what it should look like, I can help with that.

    1. I am using the shortcode results. The theme I am using is called ‘Make’ by The Theme Foundry it has a Drag & Drop Page builder (way nicer than VC) and has options for 2/3/4 column layouts, for content and it’s own posts display system.

    2. I’ll take a look in the forum and get back to you when I have the form in its final version.

    Hi Martyn

    The easiest way to do this (doesn’t take me too long to od, so i can help you need it) is to take a page in your theme that looks the way you want and then edit our results.php file to have the same HTML structure to clone the look.

    Starting this customisation process is described here.
