Inherit Native WP Template Hierarchy Structure?

Anonymous

#50380

Hello,

I was curious if there is a way to have the search results pull from the native WordPress template hierarchy structure without having to specify a page for results…much like the free version does.

The reason I ask this is because I am using a plugin called “ReOrder Post Within Categories” which reorders custom posts into a new order via drag and drop, regardless of what the orderby has been set to in the custom query (title, date, etc). The new order is inherited properly and shows correctly on the front end from my default taxonomy files just fine in the free version. But I cannot seem to get it to work on the pro version. I tried setting up an archive page, making sure it used the standard query, and then messed around with the “Default Order” settings to no avail.

Although the pro version is extremely robust and versatile, it seems that the new post orders are overridden by the pro version regardless of what settings I try messing around with. Basically, I want the plugin I’m using to still be able to override the query results correctly like the free version.

Any ideas?

Also, while I’m here asking…

On the free version, is there a way to have a redirect to a specified page on submit if the search results are empty?

The free version and pro versions are, essentially, VERY different plugins.

The pro version comes with the ability to sort posts in the third tab in the form setup (called posts). It is likely that S&F Pro will ignore your plugin.

Okay, yeah I started to figure that much as I started messing around with the settings and saw how differently things worked. But it’s all good. I think the free version more than suffices with what I’m trying to do.

Question though, if you are allowed to offer a quick support question regarding the free version…

When I hit submit, if there are no options selected, it uses the search.php template. Is there a way to redirect it to use a different search results page? Or if not, redirect it to a page?

Never mind. After digging through the code and docs from the free version I found that empty_search_url was built in as a shortcode attribute.

Hopefully that helps someone out there.
