    Is there a way to have this sort projects by Category, Tag & Custom Tags? For instance, I have bands who may be: Top 40, Concert Style, for groups of 40+… since my category is Top 40, Tag is Concert Style and Custom Tag is groups of 40+… I don’t know how to add a search field for the custom tags.

    Do you want to be able to search using a text search box in a custom field?

    If yes, then our plugin does not directly allow you to do text searches of individual Post Meta (custom fields) and Taxonomy (Category, Tags and Taxonomies) data/terms. The Search & Filter Pro Text Search field uses the standard WordPress search, so looks only in the Post Title and Content. To help you control this better, on the form’s Advanced settings tab you will see 2 settings for Relevanssi.

    The documentation for this is here:

    You would need to install and activate the free Relevanssi plugin as well.

    Then set Relevanssi up and build its index (make sure it is indexing the desired post types AND the categories/tags/taxonomies/custom fields that you want to search).
