Hi,

I had install S&F plugin and used it as a widget in sidebar,
but when selecting an option to filter, it fail to search. (please refer to the printscreen)

I had tried set the template as search.php / archive-product.php / taxonomy-product_cat.php but it still not work.
Theme used: Une boutique
Can you please guide me how to fix it?
Thanks.

Hi there

Are you displaying your results as archive?

If so there are a few things you can try

First check the docs on how to setup properly:
http://www.designsandcode.com/wordpress-plugins/search-filter-pro/docs/display-results/as-an-archive/

Here is a common issue with theme compatibility:

You must try to see if your theme is creating custom queries and overwriting the global WP_Query – and if possible remove it.

If you are comfortable editing html & CSS then displaying your results using a shortcode might be a better way to get setup:

Hi Tai

Please can you follow the instructions above:

http://www.designsandcode.com/wordpress-plugins/search-filter-pro/docs/display-results/with-a-shortcode/

And follow the steps “a quick tutorial” as a test.

I assume this will be working, but if not please provide a link to this test page.

This is a separate page we need to build just for testing – the link you provided was to your shop and not this test page.

Thanks
