I did it. The page reports this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘if’ (T_IF), expecting function (T_FUNCTION) in /home/fanheart/public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/template-library/sources/local.php on line 136

You will have to edit that file to remove that line 🙁 Let me know when the site is working again. We may have to do something different.

Ah, ok sorry, I didn’t understand what you meant.

I’ve edited the file but the problem remains. No matter which combination I choose, I end up with all the posts as results.

Is the do_action line still in that file or now removed?

It’s still there, above line 129.

I cancelled line ‘search_filter_id’ => ‘4330’,
as you instructed, if I understood correctly.

Yes, that is it. I will need to talk with Ross, the developer.

Hi Elena

I see you are trying to integrate S&F with the layout from the post grid plugin.

That’s great, but of course not something I’ve tried before.

The tricky way of course is to hack the plugin, but what we’d really like to be able to do is add a new argument to the query (similar to what you’ve done before) which would be search_filter_id.

Modifying the plugin like above I think would cause S&F to affect the post grid plugin everytime it is used, you need a way to pass in the argument, and ideally the developer of that plugin would provide a nice extendable way to do that.

Are you using free or pro of their plugin? I see on their homepage, Pro offers:

Extra query parameter.

I think this is what you need to use this plugin in this way – but this description is a bit brief – it will be worth asking them if there is a way to edit the query arguments in free or pro – once we have that info we can point you in the right direction.

Alternatively, I see that plugin offers integration with post type archives. If so, you can set S&F display mode to “post type archive” and then use the post grid plugin to format your post type archive too.. but I can’t guarantee that would work as expected as i’m not sure how they create those queries – but it would be worth a shot.

Hi Ross, thank you for your reply.

I’ve just noticed that my reply has disappeared, maybe I forgot to press Send, sorry!

Anyway, first of all I’m using the Free version of the Port Grid Plugin.

I’ve contacted the support of the pluging asking them about the query as you suggested.

This is their reply:

Thanks for your post,

Post grid has a filter hook filters-post_grid_filter_query_args() , i f you can pass the arguments via this hook i hope plugin should work with Search & filter.

https://pickplugins.com/docs/documentation/post-grid/filter-hooks/filters-post_grid_filter_query_args/

we haven’t tried with “Search & filter”

I’m sorry but I’m not familiar with queries, could you please advise what I should do? Is this information enough?

In the meantime, I’ve discovered that Post Grid plugin has added a new custom post type in my Dashboard named “Post Grid”. If I move all the posts (which are the results of the search & filter search) from the custom post type I’m using (I’ve created it with CPT UI) to this Post Grid post type, could the grid and the search both work?

By the way, all I need is for the results of the search to be correct and displayed in a grid. I don’t need Post Grid specifically, nor any cool rotating effect (although it’s nice), I just want to avoid that my users have to scroll down too much the results of search and filter. If you know a simpler way to achieve this, with another plugin or code, please advise.

Thank you again!

Hi

There will be a file called functions.php for your theme, in the theme folder. Hopefully, you are using a ‘child’ theme, because any edits you make to this file in the main theme may be over-written when you update the theme.

You would paste this code into that file (at the end):

function post_grid_filter_query_args_extra($query_args) {
  $extra_query = array (
    'search_filter_id' => 4330,
  );
  return array_merge($query_args, $extra_query);
}
add_filter('post_grid_filter_query_args','post_grid_filter_query_args_extra');

That seems to be what they are saying.
