    Hi

    I’ve purchased the PRO version of this plugin and I’m hoping someone can help me make it do what i need?

    I’ve set up a simple filters form and placed the shortcode on a page outside of WordPress. (I’m just using WP for the backend and coding the frontend from scratch) I would like the results to appear on the same page below the filter list.

    I have so far…

    <?php require('wp-root-folder-name/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
<?php
// Create connection
 $con=mysqli_connect("Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah");
// Check connection
 if (mysqli_connect_errno())
   {
   echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
   }
?>

<h1>Events</h1>
	<?php echo do_shortcode('[searchandfilter id="56"]'); ?>
    
    
<div id="eventResultsContainer">
	<?php 
		$args = array('post_type' => 'post');
		$args['search_filter_id'] = 56;
		$query = new WP_Query($args);	
        //run the event posts loop
        while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
		echo get_the_author() . '<br/>' . get_the_title() . '<br/><hr/>';
		endwhile; //end loop 
	?>
    
</div>
</body>
</html>

    I’m getting all the right results but the filters aren’t updating the list. (See page http://www.the-tpg.co.uk/The-TPG.php)

    I copied the links to the JS files from a page I managed to get working inside a WP template page but I’m now pretty stuck and would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction?

    Cheers,
    Mark.

    I have little doubt that you have made a coding error, but would have no idea where. Why are you not using a theme, even a bare bones one? What advantage do you gain?

    Thanks for the reply.

    I’ve little doubt I have made a coding error somewhere too, with it not working properly, which is why I thought I’d ask on here.

    Where could I go for official support for this plugin?

    Hi there

    I had a look.,

    It does seem like something could be wrong with the code.

    I can see in there, you have manually loaded the S&F scripts? eg:

    <script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.the-tpg.co.uk/wp-root-folder-name/wp-content/plugins/search-filter-pro/public/assets/js/search-filter-build.min.js?ver=2.3.4'></script>

    You should not need to do this.

    S&F (and many other plugins) will load their scripts automatically using wp_enqueue_scripts.

    The issue I can see is that you are not calling

    wp_head() and wp_footer(), which auto generates all of this stuff, and allows plugins to use WP actions like wp_enqueue_scripts.

    https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_head
    https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_footer

    Check the default WP themes for correct usage of these two functions – they are usually the first and last things that need to be loaded in your template files.

    Just to note, when you run wp_head(), then are a ton of WP events that will fire, which again may be essential to fire in order to use some plugins (S&F included), such as S&F initialising the query vars, or correctly loading scripts with dependencies. By you not loading the head and footer functions, you are effectively disabling a lot of WP functionality / integration.

    Does that make sense?

    Let me know how you get on.

    Thanks
