Hi Andrew

Please see the 2 ways of displaying your results to get an idea of how they work:

As you are using the archive method you’ll want to head here to see how to modify the layout of your results:

What you likely need to do is create a new page template with the search form at the top, and then if your results are still not updating then possibly see here:

Some themes/plugins overwrite the main query so the S&F query is not used for the results.

Thanks

Hi Andrew

I’ve noticed your issue – you are using a category field 3 times.

You cannot use a category field more than once, for each dropdown you must create a separate taxonomy and assign them to your posts.

You can setup a taxonomy yourself to behave in just the same way as your categories:

I recommend creating them via a plugin which is incredibly easy (https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/) but you can also do it by adding code to your functions.php.

See a similar related post here – where the same problem occurs when using a tag field multiple times:
