Configuration problem

Hi,

I m a beginner on WP and I need some help about the configuration.

I need to create 2 filter on my projects with :
– Category (Choice : Session 1 or Session 2)
– Tags (Choice : around 20 instruments)

I created a filter and I insered the shortcode in the page but I have a lot of trouble :
1/ Choice of Category and Tags doesn’t appear. I changed the input types but at each times, just the title of the filter and thee choices All categorie and Non classé appear… (In Radio types, nothing appear)

I followed the tutorial on SF PRO docs many times but I don’t understand where is my mistake.

2 / I would like the search and filter on the top of my webpage like your second screenshot on http://www.designsandcode.com/wordpress-plugins/search-filter/
and I can’t find how i can do…

3 / All the results appear before the search and the title and the picture of the projects takes all the available space in the webpage. I woulf like 3-4 results by line, like a portfolio (with clickable picture and title), it sounds like also a woocommerce results (but I havn’t commerce 😉 )
Also, at the stop of eeach results, a code appear like that :

[et_pb_section admin_label= »section » background_color= »#132c47″ inner_shadow= »off » parallax= »on »][et_pb_row admin_label= »row »][et_pb_column type= »4_4″][et_pb_divider admin_label= »Divider » color= »#ffffff » show_divider= »off » height= »60″] [/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label= »Text » background_layout= »dark » text_orientation= »center »] Product Features [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label= »row »][et_pb_column type= »4_4″][et_pb_image admin_label= »Image » src= »http://elegantthemesimages.com/images/premade/d2-placeholder-1920.jpg » url_new_window= »off » animation= »bottom » show_in_lightbox= »off »] [/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label= »row »][et_pb_column type= »1_4″][et_pb_blurb admin_label= »Blurb » title= »Advanced Page Builder » url_new_window= »off » animation= »top » background_layout= »dark » text_orientation= »center » use_icon= »on » use_circle= »on » circle_color= »#0d2035″ use_circle_border= »off » circle_border_color= »#2caaca » icon_placement= »top » font_icon= » » icon_color= »#2ea3f2″] Divi will change the way you build websites forever.

Waiting hearing from you, I think it is just a basic configuration problem…

I’m sorry for my bad level in english, I hope you could understand.

Best,

Hey Nicolas

To answer your questions:

1) These are probably not WordPress categories/tags – theses are probably custom taxonomies called “Portfolio Catgories” and “Portfolio Tags”, or something similar – this means you need to use a “taxonomy” field.

2) This really depends on your theme – however for reference, in the second screenshot I edited the file header.php in the theme, and added the shortcode for the search form as per the code here: http://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/getting-started/display-search-form/#As_a_Shortcode

3) Lets cross this one off once we’ve got a handle on the rest.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your mail,

1/ I checked a new time but I can confirm the configuration of each page is, on WP, with this WP cat and tags :
– Project Categories
– Project Tags
and SF is configurated on : Search in the following post types: Projects with UI Cat and Tags…

I think SF is running a little because the results appears before filter (the results disappears when I select “non classé” for example. However, the number (1) appears near non classé as if 1 result exist …

2/ ok but I don’t know how to create a shortcode… I have plugin with shortcode but no idea about the configuration for SF… By any chance, have you got a tutorial ?

I thank you in advance,

Hey Nicolas

Ok lets look at point 2 first as this will be wordy…

So you want to position the search form in a specific place in your site?

What you need to do is grab the code I linked before:
http://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/getting-started/display-search-form/#As_a_Shortcode

So you place this code somewhere in your theme templates for the Search form to appear there:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[searchandfilter id="1"]'); ?>

Replace the 1 with the ID of the search form you have created.

Now, if you’re still unsure where this code goes, its in one the php files in your theme – usually called header.php.

Where to place this code exactly is dependent on your theme, and specifically where you want it – you might need to do some trial and error to get hte positioning right.

Does that make sense?

Thanks
