Hi Charles

I’ve just emailed you a fix – let me know it works ok.

Make sure to “rebuild” cache after updating the plugin.

Thanks

Hi Charles

I sent this fix to 4 people yesterday and all have come back that it is now working…

Can you double check that you uploaded the latest version I sent and rebuild cache again?

If still not working I will dive in again – your logins will be enough for now no need to send files etc.

Thanks

Hi Ross,

You are absolutely right, I must have accidentally installed the files Trevor sent me as they were both on my desktop. This issue seems to be fixed now.

Thank you so so much, your and Trevor have been absolutely amazing in troubleshooting for this issue. I shall do my bit now and do a positive review on the plugin.

Lastly, I just have a couple of questions I’d like to ask:

– Since this fix was sent to us individually, what happens if there’s a new version of S&F, do I update the plugin then? Will it overwrite the fix that you implemented?

– Should I be worried or cautious for plugin/theme/WP core updates in the future with compatibility with S&F?

– Is there a way to show default ticked checkboxes? For example, if on the News page, I just want someone to see a certain category on default when they land on that page?

Thanks guys!

Sorry, one more question.

I’ve just made an attempt to test out the results by Archive setting with Avada v5, but haven’t had any success, maybe the theme has changed since the information was posted in FAQ? Anyway, I don’t 100% need the results to show as Archive, but I just want to know how I can add Masonry to the default search-filter.php (which I just edited it a little).

Thank you

Trevor

Ah, so many questions …

Since this fix was sent to us individually, what happens if there’s a new version of S&F, do I update the plugin then? Will it overwrite the fix that you implemented?

Any fixes done in development versions are rolled into the next (and subsequent) official release, so no worries there.

Should I be worried or cautious for plugin/theme/WP core updates in the future with compatibility with S&F?

Worried? No. As long as you have a current support/updates license, we will continue to support you. any issues that do arise (and inevitably do), do so because the third party theme author/plugin does not follow the protocols laid down in the official WordPress Codex.

Whilst the presence of a theme/plugin on the wordpress.org repositories will tend to indicate that the authors of those plugins/themes have adhered (in the main) to the Codex, many themes and plugins are commercially sold and, as selling is not permitted on wordpress.org, do not always have such a strict adherence to the Codex. This makes our task much harder.

As such, we are in their hands.

Is there a way to show default ticked checkboxes? For example, if on the News page, I just want someone to see a certain category on default when they land on that page?

There are filters that you can use, in S&F Pro, such as the Edit Query Arguments filter. In your child theme functions.php file, you would make a conditional function that checks for the page (name or ID) and checks to see if that field has any settings yet, and if not then you could set it accordingly.

If you search this forum for the key term sf_edit_query_args you may find others that have done this, and code snippets might also be in those threads.

As to your follow up post. The authors of Avada have indeed changed it and the FAQ detail about Avada (v4) may not be comparable with v5. There are many threads that discuss using Masonry and how to re-trigger it after Ajax has fired. It should be easy to do, but sometimes is not. Other users have achieved it, but I have not seen this myself.

Hi Trevor, I’ve just worked around the whole default selection issue. Got it all working now.

Now I just need some assistance in making my search results to show in Masonry.

Using Avada, is it better to display the Masonry results as an Archive Page or Shortcodes?

Trevor

Gosh, you leaped through those hoops rather fast 🙂

Generally, with Avada, it is best to use either a Visual Composer grid or our shortcode method.

However, I am getting ahead of myself. Did you try the As an Archive method and did it work?

Getting masonry to work after using our Ajax refresh is always the hard part, and not something I have personally managed with Avada (but others may well have).
