    The problem is being caused by this function:

    epi_search_custom_loop() if you can find it in the theme files. It is over-writing our plugin’s filters.

    I wonder if would be better to use the Shortcode method for Results Display?

    If you go to the feature request section of the forum, and add the part about the Post Types hiding when empty we can consider it for the next major release.

    I need the results to display in a specific format, with custom fields. The shortcode won’t offer me that kind of flexibility.

    Can you tell me what, specifically might be causing a problem? That function contains over 1500 lines of code, mostly related to what fields to display and in what format.

    I can’t think of anything in there that might be stopping the filters from working… it’s mostly just “if post type is this, then display it like this” stuff.

    The shortcode method uses our own template (results.php), and in that you can put the same code as is used in the search.php file, but it will draw the results from our loop.

    Ah okay! I’ll give that a go.

    What’s the best procedure to use to go about editing that file? Obviously editing it in place isn’t ideal, due to updates. Can I create a copy in my theme files? What works best/works at all?

    See this documentation:

    Brill! Seems to be working. Just got a bit of customisation to do to get it looking the same as it was. Some of the code doesn’t like the change!

    Thanks for your help Trevor!

    Okay. New problem. The page isn’t refreshing for new searches again. And there’s no option to enter a custom class or ID for the shortcode…

    Jon, we will have to talk over the weekend (tomorrow or Sunday) or Monday, as it is late here. Do you have Skype?

    Hey!

    Alas, I’ve got family obligations all weekend ☹

    If you get a chance, could you explain what I’ve done wrong here so I can fix it if/when I get a free minute?

    Thanks Trevor!
    Jon
