Thanks Ross! Appreciate your help! I just need a way of the only showing the results, categories and tags for the author of the page that the shortcode is placed in.

Hey Chris

Just got around to looking at this.

The plugin does not allow for this functionality – I’m having a look to see if you can hook in to the query to modify it yourself and add such parameters but really its out of scope of the plugin.

Thanks

Hey Chris

Although I don’t support it, you should be able to hook in to the query generated by the plugin and modify it using pre_get_posts

This is some sample code which may help (add this to functions.php of your theme) –

function modify_search_filter_query( $query )
{
    global $sf_form_data;
	global $wp_query;
	
    if ( $sf_form_data->is_valid_form() && $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin())
    {
		//we can add our modifications here:
		$authorID = 1;
		$query->set('author', implode(",", $authorID)); 

		//not necessary but we can match the search form ID in case we are using multiple search forms
		/*if($sf_form_data->form_id()==797)
		{
			
		}*/
		
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'modify_search_filter_query', 21 );

Thanks
