Few issues with Dynamix theme

Anonymous

#1635

Hello,

I am sorry to get back to you so soon but it seems to have an issue with my theme. I am using the Dynamix theme (themeforest).
Here is what I’m trying to do:
I want to use my blog page (right now it is http://www.tourdecartes.com/test1) to display my result as a grid as set in my themes settings. I want my users to have a choice between a few of my categories only to find the post they are looking for. – Normally it should be possible with your plugin.

Here are the issues I encountered right off:
– The category IDs I excluded from the list still show up on the widget. (you can see on the list right now, I excluded “evaluation de paquet” “autre” ellusionist” and “Theory11”)
– If I click on one of the category, it returns the last item on that specific category as the first of the list of results, but then all the posts in all categories are in the results as well.
– It doesn’t use the right template apparently, it should show the posts like on my blog page before the search.
– The slug of the page returns /resultat?_sft_category=ellusionist&sf_ajax_timestamp=1403000905745 When it should only be /resultat (if I understood correctly… but that’s really not the most important point)

I understand Dynamix is an “advanced” theme and I hope you will be able to help me making this work, I was looking for a plugin like yours for a while 🙂

Thanks a lot!

Hey Emmanuel

It sounds like you need to configure your results template and you should be ok with most of above…

Make sure in the settings that custom template is selected and ticked.

Then underneath you can enter a filename – your results page is determined by this template specifically – so here you can try different templates from you theme such as search.php, archive.php, categeory.php and index.php – there will be more in your theme folder.

Re the URL – results will appear on a custom results URL, if you entered a “slug” in the settings, then your results will appear on this URL (I think you chose resultat)…

And with the categories – this is something I will need to look into – I will do some tests here first and then get back to you.

Thanks

hello,

My two attempts to post a respond to this thread failed.
Everything seems to work now, except the category exception issue.

Hope you will be able to find the problem.

Thanks for the great support!

Hey Emmanuel

I sent you an email yesterday, did you get it?

Also, re the categories excluding, I’ve checked and double checked and it seems to be working fine… Are you sure you are using the correct category IDs?

Thanks

Hi Ross!

Sorry I didn’t noticed your mail as it went to my spam folder.
Yes I did had pb posting on the forum: i clicked sent but my answer didn’t appear. I tired a second time and copied my message, same thing but this time a message appeared “it seems that you already said that” or something along those lines.

Yes I think I do use the right category ID. I find them by hovering on the category name from the category page (category&tag_ID=XXX). Let me know if you want an access to my site to take a look by yourself.

I am also checking that with my themes support to see if they have an idea. A similar issue is happening with filtering categories on my theme as well. I deactivated all my plugins, yours included but the issue still persists. I guess it just doesn’t come from your plugin but I only need those categories not to show up on the drop down list. Any fixes would do for me 🙂

Thanks for your help!

Hey Emmanuel

My code uses the same essential function for grabbing categories as WP –

Try using wp_list_categories, and excluding some categories from that to see if it works.

If its not working then I guess its a problem with your theme – try another and see!

Link to wp_list_categories: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories

Thanks

Hello,

I wouldn’t know how to go and do that. However, they will try to see what is wrong on their side and will update their theme shortly. If it fixes their issue and not the one with this plugin, I will let you know.
Thanks for your help anyway 🙂
