Searched/filtered posts are unformatted

I’m just a user (not Ross), but from http://www.designsandcode.com/wordpress-plugins/search-filter-pro/docs/

If you wish to customise the display of your results, a template file is included in the Search & Filter folder.

1) Create a folder in your theme folder called search-filter.

2) Copy the file wp-content\plugins\search-filter\templates\results.php from the templates folder in to your newly created folder wp-content\themes\your-theme-name-\search-filter\results.php

Search & Filter will now use this template to display your results 🙂

I had to dig into php code to make it render the way I wanted it. I just found the template that renedered my posts originally, and replace the section in results.php with that one.

Hey Tim (and thanks Gregory)

Yeah you can control the formatting by using a custom template, if using a shortcode follow the steps above if not check the docs as you can still use a custom template

Unfortunately our site needs a bit of upgrading, but the search widget for searching support can be found on this page:

Thank you Gregory and Russ. I created the new directory and copied the results.php file to the folder. Once I did that, I expected to find the new template file displayed in my WP control panel, under Search & Filter (such that I could edit in the UI), but I’m not seeing it. Do I have to edit the results.php file directly, in order to configure how my search/filter results are rendered on the page?

Thanks,
Tim

Actually, when I select to edit my search and filter form, I see a disabled region in the UI that appears to be where I would define the template filename for my form. But that region is disabled and I cannot define the template file name there. My form id=86. My template filepath is: wp-content\themes\responsive\search-filter\86.php. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I’m having the same issue as Tim. I have followed the above instructions and the “page template” area of the admin is disable. Any leads?

Hey both, any chance one of you can send me login details so I can take a look? (and give me precise steps to recreate?)

Thanks
