Second Search comes up blank

On the Display Results settings tab you have the Ajax Container set to #main. It needs to be set to .fl-post-grid for your plugin/theme.

Thanks for your reply! I’ve made that change for the Ajax Container, but am still coming up blank for the second search. Any other ideas? Or have I missed something?

cheers,
JB

WP Engine ????

This post may be relevant (I suspect):

If you could try that code in your wp-config.php file?

Thanks for this tip. I am using WP Engine – and added that line of code to the wp-config.php file. Regrettably, the problem still seems to occur.

My instinct is that the problem still lies with Beaver Themer. The search works brilliantly on a normal page (http://tsas4.wpengine.com/affiliate-results/) but when I try the search on a Beaver Themer template (http://tsas4.wpengine.com/affiliate/ – which isn’t listed as a page on the backend of WordPress), the search goes blank.

thanks for your help,
JB

OK, I will look again in the morning. There is an alternative method I can use with Beaver Builder.

I took a look at the Page Builder and I am not familiar enough with it to try my idea. It was to use the Custom Display Results Method and either hook in the PHP template, or use the filter_next_query shortcode [e.g. [searchandfilter id="1428" action="filter_next_query"]]immediately before the grid). However, I can see that it is using Masonry to arrange the posts, and it may be that this will need re-triggering to re-arrange the posts each time a search is done.

Using a different theme (Beaver Themer), one user (@Ash) has very kindly posted how he did it:

Other than that, you may need to talk to the (very nice and helpful) guys at Beaver Builder.

The javascript method required to be able to re-trigger Masonry (not specific to Beaver Builder) uses code like this:

<script>(function ( $ ) {
  "use strict";
  $(document).on("sf:ajaxfinish", ".searchandfilter", function(){
    console.log("ajax complete");
// load your Masonry trigger code here
  });
}(jQuery));</script>

I edited that last reply to add more detail.

Trevor,
Thanks for looking into this. Reviewing the links you sent, I noticed that the problem may have to do with the Ajax loading. When I turned “Load results using Ajax” off, the Beaver Themer template (http://tsas4.wpengine.com/affiliate/) worked as expected. Yes! It’s fixed.

Two follow-ups: on all pages with S&F, I’m now getting a slight scroll when loading the page. Not a deal breaker, but I do have the “Scroll window to” shaded out as I’m not using Ajax. Any ideas why this still happens?

Second, when I tried to create a similar type of search for the other Custom Post Type on the site (Working Papers), again using Beaver Themer and the “Post Type Archive” for results – it didn’t filter the results. The full list comes up with every search. Feel free to have a look: http://tsas4.wpengine.com/working-paper/

The only difference with this Working Paper custom post type search is that I have the Working Papers arranged by year, rather than all in one group (as with the fixed Affilates search). Would that make a difference?

Thanks for your help…
