Hey there, thanks for the kind words.

I think what you are looking for is to display your results using a shortcode – which you can then embed in a page – check the docs here:

Thanks

thanks for the reply. No, that isn’t what I am after.

I am essentially looking to show particular products/results based on a KNOWN filter (as per my example). I do not want users to need to perform a search. They just visit Page X and it will list the products/results. Similar to using a woocommerce shortcode to display a particular product ID or category. I want the bring in particular products/results, as per my example URL above (but without performing the search). Does that make sense?

Hey there

I’m afraid this is not an option really.

The closest thing that exists in S&F is to:

1) Create a search form,
2) configure defaults, and include/exclude options
3) set display mode to “shortcode”
4) use the results shortcode to display the posts

I think what you are looking for is something more dynamic.

There is 1 way to achieve something similar using code. There is a fairly undocumented filter which means you can change the filter that gets applied to hte results.

Please see here:

http://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/2-0-upgrade-notes/#No_more_pre_get_posts

This filter allows you to change most of the regular parameters that are passed to to WP_Query – which may do what you want (you would need to combine it with the results shortcode method described above).

Hope that helps?

Thanks
