Custom Post type with Custom Taxonomy search form

Anonymous

#35345

Hello,

I’ve created a Custom Post type with a Custom Taxonomy. I display all this CPT and I filter by taxonomies.

Now, when I use an archive to display the results, it works almost fine. It shows the CPT filtered according to my choice. But in the results page, now I don’t have anymore my taxonomies but the standard categories. Am I missing a setting?

On the other hand, I tried to switch my approach and I choose and Ajax load. It works fine and fast, however if I refresh the page I got a 404 error or If I copy the URL I don’t get the expected results. I guess this is caused by the Ajax approach, am I right?

Thank you for your help.
Andrés

When you edit your search form, do you notice any errors at the top?

Thanks

Now I realised that I have the following error:

Error: The custom template file template-press.php cannot be found – go to Display Results tab to fix

I do have my template but it is on a subfolder /template/template-press.php. I’m going to check this out and I’ll be back.

In the meantime, could you please answer my question about Ajax behaviour. Is this expected?

Ok. So, I’ve double checked and that error was that I’ve set Archive instead of Post type archive. Under this configuration, I repeat, once I filter, I get my categories as filter parameters instead of my custom Taxonomies. What have to do here?

Otherwise, I can use the Shortcode option. But I would like to understand if it is expected that when I refresh the results page, I get an 404 error or If I copy the URL I don’t get the expected results.

When using the Shortcode option, I got:

my-cpt/_sft_press-category=le-petit-marius

instead of:

my-cpt/?_sft_press-category=le-petit-marius

I haven’t filled the results URL.

Hey Andres all sorted?

Yeah the ajax issue from your original post sounds like the Results URL issue.

Thanks

Yes, Ross. You can consider it as solved.
