Hide empty taxonomies, Customize no results page and Sort by GD Ratings.

Hello i have 3 questions:

1) I’m working with custom taxonomy and custom post types archives. I selected to hide empty terms but they still show up on the dropdown. This happens because there are posts with this terms but they are from another types. When i chose the known empty term i get a “No results” page which is right but How can i make those empty terms don’t show up at all in the dropdown?.
On “Search in the following post types:” i have selected only 1 type.

2) Related to 1. How can i modify the template of the no results page? It’s not 404.php (I’m using a child of twenty fourteen).

3) I use GD Rating System plugin. Is there ANY way for me to sort by rating? I don’t think it uses a meta bu it’s own tables. If not is there any rating plugin that works with search & filter pro? Maybe i can migrate.

4) Thanks!

Answers to:

2) It’s content-none.php file not 404.php
3) Probably wp-postratings?

It would be useful it see the page. Are you able to send me a live link/URL to your search page so I can take a look? Make sure you have both Auto Count settings ON.

I think the no results template comes from within the search.php template, so check in there.

I cannot recommend a plugin, but whatever you use, it should store the scores etc. in the postmeta table in order that our filtering system will see the data.

I had auto-count disabled. That solved it. Thanks!

For posterity “GD Rating System” has an addon called: Sync Meta
“Automatically synchronize rating data into the WordPress postmeta table. You can select rating methods and even use rules”

The author told me that’s what would do what’s needed.

I guess the topic is resolved thank you!
