    Hi,

    I just bought this plugin in order to filter and sort “clients” on a page where clients are listed, (with localisation, type of client…) “clients” are an ACF custom post type.
    I absolutely don’t get how to make search and filter pro work with my ACF Fields and I didn’t find any page on the plugin website…
    I need some help and I don’t even know from where to start !

    Thanks in advance…

    ACF Custom fields are found in the Form UI. Add a ‘Post Meta’ object to the form, and then select the meta key name from the list. Make sure the name does NOT start with an underscore, it will appear a second time on the list without the underscore. Also select the ‘Is an ACF field’ option.

    Last question, display the results with my ACF custom fields (logo, type of client, and name) won’t work with shortcodes ?
    I displayed the result with shortcodes, filters are working, but the result only show the name of the client.
    Is there a specific display result method for ACF ?

    You want to display the content of these fields in the results? If you are using the Shortcode display results method then you need to follow the customising guide here:

    https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/search-results/using-a-shortcode/#customising-the-results

    There are elements that you do not need, so you can delete those. For ACF fields, you can output the contents of the fields to the page using PHP code like this (the example is for a field named test_price):

    $test_price = get_field('test_price');
if( $test_price ) echo $test_price;

    Your actual PHP may need to add HTML around what is echoed to the page.

    Thank you very much I’m gonna try this.
    And I was wondering, can we do some css on the filters ? There is no class on it, and I want to insert some icons, is this possible ?

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

    Can you show me one or more annotated screenshot(s) of the design change(s) you want? If you can do that, you would need to upload the screenshot image(s) to a file sharing site (like the WordPress Cloudup site) and share the link with me?

    Hi, I’m currently working on a local server so I won’t be able to send you a link right now but the website will be online tomorrow or on thursday so I’ll be back to you soon with the url. For now, here’s the design I need for the filters : https://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=20/28/6hfv.png
