Manually add S&F to an existing query

Hello,

I am trying to use S&F with Beaver Builder. I have a page using the Beaver Builder Posts module displaying a custom post type grid. I would like to add a dropdown at the top of the page to filter by and ACF field.

How can I add S&F to the query so the results show up on the same page.

Thanks for the help!

Does the query accept an array of arguments, like this:

$args = array( 
	'post_type'   => 'post',
	'post_status' => 'future'
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

Not in that same exact same way but similar. I can add the the $args array I just don’t know what to add.

In that example, let us say the form ID is 1234, then it would become:

$args = array( 
	'post_type'   => 'post',
	'search_filter_id' => 1234,
	'post_status' => 'future'
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

Using this method, it might be necessary to use the Custom Display method, you would have to test it out.

An alternative might be to find this part (or similar):

if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

We can use this:

For example:

do_action('search_filter_query_posts', 1234);

And put this in the line immediately preceding the if (have_posts()) ... line.
