S&F and Elementor Pro

Hi,

I’m trying to set up an archive page for my projects with a search and filter bar at the top, filtering mainly on categories.
I have followed the steps for Elementor Pro from your documentation, as far as I could get, but it’s not working.
For instance, Elementor Post/Product/Portfolio Widget is not displaying in the display method, Search & Filter Query is not in the Source dropdown list…

Can you help me out, please?

Thanks,

Kurt

As an afterthought, did you download (the big blue button at the top of the page), install and activate the addon plugin from this page:

Hi Kurt, I managed to do this, took me quite a while to figure it out :-).

* I created a page to display my search results.
* I installed an extra plugin, Ele Custom Skin, in which I created a loop function.

I created a menu in Search & Filter pro.
In the Search & Filter options –
* Display Results I choose Elementor Posts/Portfolio/Products
* In template options I choose the created search results page

Then in the search results page I add the “Posts” widget to display my post list
In the “Posts” widget – query source I select Search & Filter Query
In the “Posts” widget – layout I choose custom and my loop created by Ele Custom skin

This method worked for me!
Good luck 🙂

I have the same issue. I have downloaded, installed and activated the elementor addon plugin. Elementor Post/Product/Portfolio Widget is not displaying in the display method, Search & Filter Query is not in the Source dropdown list, when I try to create an archive template with elementor pro. Please help!

thanks

I am also having the same problem. I installed the elementor plugin and while I can see the search and filter option in the post query I do not see Elementor Post/Product/Portfolio Widget in the display method. I wish I had seen this before paying for the plugin. I hope you get this fixed quickly.

Hey Evan,
Finally, I found a workaround using shortcodes. I used the steps in this documentation – https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/getting-started/creating-your-first-search-form/
Still have trouble auto submitting the search form. I have to hit refresh every time for the results to load.

Hope you manage to solve your issue.

I would appreciate a reply to this as I need to start working on this project and can’t do so until this is remedied.

Rasika, that’s not really a solution to this problem. We shouldn’t have to come up with workarounds for a feature that doesn’t work as promised. I just paid for S&F Pro in part because of the horrendous support of FacetWP. I really hope this doesn’t prove to be a repeat of that.
