    Hello,
    I’m using the Search & Filter Pro plugin here. I have set the “Field relationships” field to “OR”. When I try to filter the search result page by “Data Privacy” under ISSUE category/taxonomy on the sidebar and then check “Frederic” under the Author, it shows “Nothing Found”. But I believe it should show posts either from “Data Privacy” taxonomy or from the author “Frederic”.

    Can you please help to fix it? Thanks!

    The problem that I see is that the initial search page link is a theme search and not a search and filter search.

    Can you test by setting this up (or make copy forms) on a new page using our shortcode display results method?

    Thanks for the reply. So I need two different S&F forms? One in the header to search a typed query and then another one in the sidebar for Taxonomy/Author filters? Please advice.

    I have used the shortcode display results method here. But still it’s not showing any result.

    I need to check with the developer whether the Author field is included in the OR field relationship setting, or whether this settings affects on taxonomies (including tags and categories) and post meta (custom fields).

    I have a feeling it is not included. If that is the case, you would have to set up a custom field on each post have have the author saved in that, and use a Post Meta form field object instead.

    Just checking the form now, I see it says:

    “The relationship between tag, category, taxonomy & post meta (choice) fields”

    Not author.
