Search & Filter with Post Grid Plugin

Anonymous

#91016

Hi,

I’ve been trying to follow along with this discussion:
https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/topic/create-a-search-form-like-the-demo-movie-reviews/

…which led me to the Post Grid plugin that I’d like to use to display my results.

I tried adding this to my functions.php

function post_grid_filter_query_args_extra($query_args) {
  $extra_query = array (
    'search_filter_id' => 137,
  );
  return array_merge($query_args, $extra_query);
}
add_filter('post_grid_filter_query_args','post_grid_filter_query_args_extra');

…and then use the post grid code in my template:
<?php echo do_shortcode("[post_grid id='372']"); ?>

But the filter doesn’t seem to link up correctly. I feel like I’m missing something or the code above is specific to that previous customers theme.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Trevor

What display method are you using in search & Filter? I think it should be ‘As an Archive’.

Yes as an archive and have set the filename to my custom template.

HI Trevor, I was reading thoguh the documantation adn I didn’t have this code added to functions.php

add_filter('wp_title','search_form_title');

function search_form_title($title){
 
 global $searchandfilter;
 
 if ( $searchandfilter->active_sfid() == 35889)
 {
 return 'Search Results';
 }
 else
 {
 return $title;
 }

If I add it the website stops loading.

There is a final curly brace missing in that.

I had a quick look at the other thread and noticed that Ross said:

set S&F display mode to “post type archive” and then use the post grid plugin to format your post type archive too

So as an archive will not likely work.
