Search not querying results on EDD

Anonymous

I’ve added the shortcode and the action filter to the archive template, but it seems that the search isn’t querying the results. What am I doing wrong?

Downloads page with search – http://market.priority-software.com/downloads/
Thank you

I cannot see anything obviously wrong from the front end. You have the two shortcodes (the form and the “prep-query” on the page? For example, on my shop page (using the standard WP twentyfifteen theme) I have these shortcodes (inside some HTML to make the page look nice):

<div class="edd-search-form">[searchandfilter id="42"]</div>
<div class="edd-search-results">
[searchandfilter id="42" action="prep_query"]
[downloads columns="2"]
</div>

You don’t use any of those 3 shortcodes I used/show? The critical one is the downloads one, because without this the page isn’t really an EDD page any more, but merely a Post type Archive or an archives page.

Yes, it is a regular archives page. Did you use the As an archive option?

One of the beauties of the EDD plugin is that it needs no special templates. You simply make a page and put the shortcodes on that page.

What do you mean when you say ‘I needed to have a custom query’? I am trying to get a handle on what it is you want to achieve. You want to use EDD but don’t want to use the S&F EDD display results methods and shortcodes?

Hi Efraim

I will have to ask Ross, the developer, if the way you have implemented it will work. Hopefully I will be able to speak to him on Monday.
