    When I select more than 1 checkbox, I get no results. I am displaying results by shortcode and filtering by specific categories. How do I fix this?

    Also how do I get my posts to display in more than one column and exclude meta data?

    Thanks

    If you want to be able to select more than one checkbox and get more results, you may need to set the Search Operator to OR:

    The display of results is determined by the choice of Display Results Method. Which are you using?

    Are you able to send me a live link/URL to your search page so I can take a look?

    Auto Submit is shown here:

    I have shown it switched off.

    What do you want to change about the appearance/layout/content of the results? Remember, what you see is because the template being used, results.php, is somewhat basic, but deliberately so to allow the site owner to customize it. Do you have a page elsewhere in your site that has the appearance you want?

    To modify the output of the results.php template file (I have done this for myself on projects, and even some using Avada), I have examined the output HTML on a sample page and reverse engineered that into a combination of HTML and PHP for a custom template. For Avada, it used to typically take 4-8 hours to do though.

    An alternative solution (and what I now do if I am having to use Avada) is to use a plugin that works in a similar way to our shortcode method:

    https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/3rd-party/post-grid/

    In the Post Grid plugin, you determine the number of columns by using the post width setting.
