Error: There are 2 Search Forms set to use Post Type Archive display mode for th

Hello,

1. I purchased the pro version and it was almost working but it showed me this error that says I use 2 search forms using “posts” as post type but can only use 1. One of the search form stopped working, so I used “blocks” as post type instead, for the second search form. Now both search forms are actually working but it gives me an error; “has_archive” must be enabled.

Can I just ignore the error because they both are working? Or how can I fix this error? I just started using WP and I cannot code…

But I actually have 1 more page that needs a search form. If I can’t use “post” and “blocks” what else can I use now? They will all be used on archive page of posts, separated into different categories.

2. Can I make a horizontal search? Like, every search form UI to be next to each other horizontally? The non-pro version was horizontal so I really liked how it looked but the pro version is laid out vertically. How can I fix this?

3. Can I use multiple filters to search? For example, someone can put “museum” in the search box and then apply location filter as “New York” and then apply “photography” tag filter, too? Is it something this plugin can do? For the above 2 pages, I think what I need to do is pretty simple, but the 3rd search form is a bit complicated because it needs multiple filters.

Thanks!

I guess #3 can be done if I can use all filters at once. Right now, it seems like all the filter type like search box, category, tag, etc, are only working by its own but cannot be filtered together. Is there a setting to change this so all filters get applied together?

For the 3rd page that needs search form, what I am trying to do is kind of like this one https://creatorscycle.com/search-home/

This directory plugin is great, but cannot change the style, color, etc, to match mine, so I am trying to see if I can achieve it using Search & Filter.

Now it seems like none of the search form pages is working………. The only thing that is working is the category filter on https://creatorscycle.com/category/creators-life/

The search box search on that page doesn’t work. On other pages, even the category searches are not working……….

It was working before. Why is it not working now??

Hi Trevor,

Thanks so much for your detailed reply!

I added the code to make it horizontal and it looks almost perfect… But the submit button is aligned to the headlines instead of the boxes and it looks a bit off… It’d be also nice to have ability to have it vertical, too…

>Do you still need 3 forms based on the same Post Type?

So, I don’t quite understand what it means to “use same post type”… How can I make it with different post types? If I use different post types, it works without you adding things?

They are all like archive pages of posts but uses different categories. “Using same post type” means they are all coming from POSTS tab? If so they ARE all coming from the POSTS tab… What would be my option to use different post types?

I thought that if I make an independent posts group apart from the ones POSTS tab, maybe it wouldn’t be “using same post type”, so I downloaded Custom Post Type UI plugin and made an independent post tab, and tried again, but it seems like Elementor doesn’t recognize the posts in the new post tab so I couldn’t make it work.

I cannot code and I am a beginner, so I want to keep it as simple as possible. If you make changes to my search forms, will I be able to make changes later on?

Thanks so much!

Just adding another question. How can I align the boxes and buttons horizontally in CENTER, instead of top? Even for the search form without headline, the search box and the button is just tiny bit off.

Thanks.

I would like the search form on this page to be vertical because of the checkboxes.
