Filter issue: Results are showing without even filters are applied.

Hi,

I just purchased F&S Pro. As soon as i installed and created a new form, I am facing very strange problem. I added the filter form shortcode to a blog page since i want to filter blog posts. After adding the shortcode, i reviewed the page and i saw the form but right below the form, it is shwoing the results without even the filters are applied, as you can see the screenshot below.

This is the screenshot of the results which are sowing by default and as you can see the results are showing in one column like it’s covering the whole page But the default layout of blog posts is 2 columns.

And this is where i want to show the forms and as you can see the posts are visible in 2 columns as it is default theme layout.

Kindly fix this issue. Waiting for your response!

Kind regards,

Jooobs

Hi Jooobs

It is the weekend and official support is closed until 10AM UK time tomorrow. But I am here waiting for a sports match to start on TV in 5 minutes. The behaviour you describe is normal in that by placing a search form and results section on a page, the WordPress ‘loop’ will run and display unfiltered total posts.

Second, as you are using the Shortcode display method, this will use the (customizable) results.php template that is included with our plugin, and not your theme’s templates.

It is possible to modify the results.php template, as described here.

I will help you get to where you want, and it IS possible to make it so that on an unfiltered page, no results are shown. It is also possible to show a grid, depending on how you theme normally does this. This post might guide you whilst we are offline:

Given the time already, the offer to do a Skype session holds only for a while. It would be nice to know what theme you are using, and if you have Visual Composer installed or not.

By the way i still want you to see the main page. I copied results.php and followed the steps as shown in the documentation and bingo the results are not showing by default but it’s messing with the layout, plus it’s only filtering 3 posts :/ that’s weird
