Easy way to filter all posts?

Hi

is it possible to simply filter the latest posts page (which I use as homepage)?

If I add the form on the sidebar it doesn’t seem to work.

If I create a results page and use a shortcode then the results page is not using the right layout (1 column instead of 2) and it’s also showing too much information for example the matching tags, categories, and the post title appears twice.

Hi

When I took a look in the admin, you were editing the results page. However, with the form set to Shortcode Display Results method, the results page has to have the Results shortcode on, and it does not look to have this.

Hi both results pages I sent have the Results shortcode in there, it’s the only content – not sure if you are referring to something else? However I have noticed the Template Results URL in the settings was wrong and have changed it to the page I want to use. It doesn’t return an error now but it still doesn’t apply the filters.

Hi again – I can make it work on a “standard page” now (the second one I sent) but it doesn’t work on the posts page which is the one I need to use. What settings can I use to make the filters work on the posts page?

Trevor pls ignore that too, I found out how to make the posts page work – now the only issues (and this time I have no idea how to a solve this – I’ve checked every single setting) is updating the search results. The AND/OR relationship doesn’t seem to work, in fact only the first search seem to work, the checkboxes I click after don’t seem to modify the results at all, although it looks like they are ‘looking for something’ after clicking.

I have made some changes on the Display Results settings tab. Other than the page title of ‘Archives’, is this now working as you expected?

I do not think that you actually need the page to be a page made in WordPress this way.

Hi Yes other than having the wrong title now the filters work fine – what do I need to do to make the right page with the right title work?

What do you mean “I do not think that you actually need the page to be a page made in WordPress this way.”?

It’s the final result I am concerned about rather than which page the plugin uses, if there is a better way of doing this I’m open to that, I just couldn’t find another way to achieve the current result with other plugin settings.

OK. The Title we can fix I think. After that is done, then I will explain the page thing. Using ftp, can you copy from your child theme folder the file archive.php to make a new file called search-results.php in that same folder?
