Search and filter issues

Hi I just purchased Search and filter and I need to filter a list of letters divided by category and year of publication.
I thought about using article categories to categorize letters and tags to assign the year.
I did so and I created the form: http://demo.polimedia.net/federcasa/circolari/
The tag selector works but the category selector seems broken, can you please take a look at it and tell me what’s wrong with it.
Thanks, Carlo

The DIV / container for your logo is overlapping the first dropdown.

If you click on the very bottom of it, you can just about open it.

Hope that helps.

Best

Ooops, you are right! What about the search button, is there a way to let the search start only after I hit search? Otherwise the button is pretty useless.
Also is there a way to display a post excerpt on the list page? Now the full posts are displayed and they also pretty expanded.
Please let me know, thanks a lot!

In the settings for the form find the one called Auto Submit and switch it off. Now the search will only happen if you press the button. See it in this screenshot (but below where the red box is).

Which display method are you using? Is it the Shortcode method or another?

Thanks, Auto submit solved.
Regarding display method I used Shortcode, how can i produce more compact results on this page: http://demo.polimedia.net/federcasa/circolari/?_sft_category=link&_sft_post_tag=2016
Thanks

Instead, why not use a Visual Composer grid? Our plugin supports these. See this post:

There is a screenshot of the VC elements showing the grid elements.

It will make things easier for you, as I see you already use the VC Grid elsewhere in the site, yes?

Thanks, I downloaded and installed VC extension but it does not work, see this page: http://demo.polimedia.net/federcasa/circolari/
The addon has no options https://db.tt/KpU414Cnqv so I don’t understand what I am missing.
The page was working with the shortcode before.
I only want to make the result list cleaner and shorter, possibly with just the article titles, not the full article with a lot of space as it was before.
Thanks a lot for your patience.

That is for the form to display. You also need to add a VC Grid Element (and set that up) to display the results.

Thanks, but I don’t think I getting exactly what you mean.
I added a post grid https://goo.gl/MBHCdY but the result is worse than before http://demo.polimedia.net/federcasa/circolari/ all I want is plain old list of posts, possibily showing just the title in the list, but this does not seem an option in the post grid settings: https://goo.gl/FJIzEI
Can you please help me in getting such result?
Thanks a lot

You have to edit the grid and make one to your liking.
