Hello

I`m trying do to same things like on the demo site.
I need search and category checkboxes.

Please let me know why it`s not working properlly?
I create the first search form from here https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/getting-started/creating-your-first-search-form/ and the result is here http://siedzieje.7wishes.pl/

Question – why it`s showing all posts at the start?

Please help me

Cheers

Do you prefer the page to be empty, or maybe a message?

It looks like you are using the Shortcode display results method, in which case you should follow the ‘guide to customising’:

https://support.searchandfilter.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/search-results/using-a-shortcode/

Once you have a copy of the results.php file in a search-filter sub-folder of your theme, you can edit that file, like this (leave the PHP comments at the top outside and before this code):

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(3204)->current_query();
if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
  echo '<div>Nothing to see here folks!</div>'; 
} else {
  // the current resuts.php code here
}

Dear Trevor

One more thing

I want to have only one search on site and use it at any category page. I`ve got 7 category for now.
Please let me know how to use that at each category page.
At this moment at display results I have to set the filename/path of custom template. I can type only one path.

f.e.

http://siedzieje.7wishes.pl/category/aktywnie/
http://siedzieje.7wishes.pl/category/atrakcje/
http://siedzieje.7wishes.pl/category/hobby/
etc.

Thank you!
Daniel

Are you now using the ‘As an Archive method?

Are you searching (or could you) search only one Post Type (such as ‘Posts’, but not ‘Posts’ and ‘Pages’)?

The pages you showed me appear to be ‘Category’ archive pages. Is this correct?

1. as an archive -> true
2. as blog posts only
3. category.php

Maybe the method described in this post would help one form to work on any Category page:

Note, the ID number in the CSS would need to change to match that of your form.
