    Hi,
    Just bought.
    Getting a little exasperated!
    I can’t seem to get this working.
    I’m testing two different scenarios…neither work.
    1. a simple search form using tags. (searching only posts, not pages)
    WRONG results returned…no matter which tag I choose.
    2. In testing field relationship between tag and taxonomy fields of AND
    Also completely doesn’t work…returns wrong results.
    I switched themes and still the same.
    Please help,
    Thanks,
    Scott.

    So….
    Finally got it displaying using shortcode.
    However….
    How can I get it to display the FULL content and not the excerpt in search results?
    Thanks.

    Hey Scott

    You can customise the results.php instead of hacking – http://www.designsandcode.com/wordpress-plugins/search-filter-pro/docs/#docs-new-ajax 🙂

    Also, I just added some new info the FAQs which I believe covers off some issues you were originally having, check the last question – http://www.designsandcode.com/wordpress-plugins/search-filter-pro/faqs/

    Glad it is up and running for you now.

    Thanks

    Hi Ross,

    Sorry for the tone of my messages….was just a little under stress.
    I appreciate your plugin.
    I also appreciate your instructions.
    However, I think they could be a little clearer for non-tech people (I’m semi/amateur tech)
    It took me literally 6 hours to figure out how to work.
    1. Took me awhile to figure out I just couldn’t get it to work with my Template (as archive page)
    2. So I had to use as a short code.
    But here’s the thing, in your doc you don’t thoroughly cover how to use shortcode in what I would think would be one of the most common scenarios,
    ie: search as widget in sidebar and display results in main body.
    And you don’t cover “Template Options” in the doc (the word “options” is only mentioned once in your doc).
    I realize (now) the instructions for that are in the Admin section…but when I clicked “using a shortcode” it looked to me like the section “Template options” became “greyed out”
    so I ignored it until I finally realized “it’s not greyed out, I can but the URL there with Page of the shortcode for the results.”
    Now it all seems so simple and straight forward……
    I know you’re re-working your instructions.
    If this had been in there (about template options and page URL etc) it would of saved me many hours of frustration.

    I think I’m gonna enjoy the plugin though…..now!

    Best.
    Scott
