No results, no message appears

Hi,
I’m developing a page by filtering a search with 3 dropdowns and a submit button and apparently it’s working correctly, but when there are no results to show, nothing appears. It’s normal? Is it possible to display a message like “there are no results for this search”?

Hi

Could you give me a live page/URL/link to look at?

Apologies for the delay in responding. Your last reply arrived after we closed our support for the weekend (our normal support hours are Monday – Friday 10am – 5pm GMT) and Monday was a national holiday in the UK.

You appear to have 3 different forms on the page. ID numbers 1901, 1904, 1905 and 1906.

Why do you not have these all in one form? As it is, in separate forms, it will not work.

Is it because you want the fields horizontal? In which case Custom CSS like this would perhaps start to make this for you:

.searchandfilter > ul > li {
  display: inline-block;
  margin-right: 20px;
  float: left;
}
.searchandfilter > ul > li:last-child {
  margin-right: 0;
}
.search-filter-results {clear: both;}

Also, I see that you are using Visual Composer. We have a beta addon for Visual Composer. You can download and install this free addon plugin:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/t4gnvhr8mj7e52d/search-filter-pro-vc-beta-2.zip?dl=0

Then, in the Search & Filter form settings, for Display Results method, select Visual Composer Grid.

In the page, use Visual Composer to design the page. You will find a new element for our Search Form (it has a blue icon).

For the results, select one of the Visual Composer grids, such as the (orange icon) Post Grid.

In the settings for that, as the Data Source select Search & Filter

Then select the form in the next option box. Then select grid type (posts per row) and Pagination.

In the design part, either select a pre-defined grid, or design/build one of your own with the grid builder.

No problem, Trevor. I already noticed the error. I did so to be able to fit each field in the grid of the visual composer, but I already inserted the CSS that you sent with some adjustments. Can you see the behavior of the search now? When there are no results, the search should return a message stating that it did not find any results. Can you help?

Thank you very much

The results appear to be a VC grid, so did you install the VC addon and change the data source in the grid?

Yes, I installed the addon and changed the data source.
