Count does not change

Hi

Im using the newest version of S&F pro with one dropdown for categories and checkbox for tags. But if one categorie or a tag is selected, the count shown next to the categories or tags is still the same, although only 2 posts are shown (which is correct) the count next to the categorie says e.g. 5. Hide empty terms is checked. Is there something that Im doing wrong? Thanx in advanced.

Can I have the URL for the page that has the search form on so that I can see it in action?

I am not sure what might be causing this. It may be not having permalinks set to postname (so called Pretty Permalinks – required for SEO), or is Auto Count not enabled?

Hi

You should not have any taxonomy/meta field appear more than once in any one form. It is a common mistake users make. Instead you should have Custom Taxonomies and Custom (Meta) fields for your data. I make very few sites that genuinely are blogs, and so I switch off normal posts, categories and tags, and use only Custom Post Types, Custom Taxonomies and Custom (meta) fields. I also do not have hierarchical taxonomies. Each parent that you might want to do this with should be a separate taxonomy. They will automatically filter if you have Auto Count ‘on’ and hide empty values ‘on’ for each form field.

The latter gives you a much cleaner ‘conditionality’ to select fields. As the the original question, let me know how you get on?
