    Hi everyone,

    In order for Search & Filter Pro to work like we would like, we have to make a archive.php for our custom post type. We have experience in making archive.php templates for custom post types but in this case we have to create it using a loop.

    We’ve got a custom post type named ‘catalogus’ and made a archive.php for it using these instructions http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-a-custom-post-types-archive-page-in-wordpress/ but unfortunately we’re seeing no results on that archive page.

    Could you please point us in the right direction with getting the right archive page?

    What name did you give the file?

    Have you tried the Custom method on WP_Query?

    You can then add the search form to the arguments in your template file:

    Hi Trevor,

    We’ve tried the Custom method on WP_Query. We have also added the search form arguments but the archive page doesn’t show any results.

    You can find the code from archive-catalogus.php here: https://gist.github.com/Bjornftw/399679b0dc23004c3645c6976d86689c

    The strange thing is, as soon as we add the code ‘search_filter_id’ we won’t see any results anymore. If we delete that line (‘search_filter_id’) we do see results.

    Best regards,
    Robin

    Hi Trevor,

    Thanks. We’ve removed it. Now we do see the archive page on http://staging.lunaworx.nl/catalogus but somehow the filters don’t seem to work. Whatever we do (select a price range with the slider or search on a specific term) we always get all of the results.

    Best regards,
    Robin

    Can you find the Ajax Container setting on the Display Results settings tab, currently set to #main, and change this to #left-area?
