Search Results Loading on Page Load

I just purchased your plugin and am working in a dev environment using the JoinstWP theme. I have created a search to check pages based off of categories created using advanced custom fields.

I added the following shortcodes to my template and when I load the page it is listing the first 10 pages before a search has even happened.

`<?php echo do_shortcode(“[searchandfilter id=’3399′]”); ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode(“[searchandfilter id=’3399′]”); ?>

Also, the advanced custom field which I added to the search via post meta returns 0 results even though I have pages with that field checked.

If that is an ACF field, that meta key is wrong. Find the same name in the list without the underscore. Why is the shortcode echoed twice?

Hi Trevor,

I posted the snippet of code twice by accident. The other should have been the results snippet.

I tried the custom method for the results using $args[‘search_filter_id’] = 3399; in my custom query and that does not have the same bug of displaying results without hitting submit.

Your direction for the acf field worked, thank you!

I am using masonry for my template to load the items. Currently, using the custom query method I am getting the styling pulled through, how would I get the results to work with the masonry on the page?

The best advice I can give on Masonry is to read this post:
