Strange multilingual behaviour

Ok

I added a plugin which detects which template is being used to display the current page…

So now on (in the admin bar):

http://www.talan.fr/en/?sfid=4668

You can see it is using the correct template for your results.

The problem is that the results are not being styled correctly or how you want them to – this is likely because of some conditional CSS or something in your theme or the template – I would ask your theme developer how to use this template/layout in other locations in your site and it maintain the two column layout.

Just to be clear – it seems as though S&F is working fine – the problem you are having is getting the results to look how you want – I’ve listed the pros & cons of this here and what options you have available:

http://www.designsandcode.com/wordpress-plugins/search-filter-pro/docs/display-results/

Some themes make this easy and follow WP standards in this regard – so its as simple as putting in the filename and you’re good to go. But some themes like Avada have their own layout builders and internal templating systems – which will need some custom development to get setup.

Modifying your theme and creating a two column layout is out of the realm of support – I cannot offer our users this level of customisation.

I created these two tests to show that S&F is actually working correctly:

http://www.talan.fr/sf-test/
http://www.talan.fr/en/sf-test/

There is one issue you mention about the URL updating – it is not updating on the French side – this is a bug I’m looking into but could be a conflict with another plugin – I would advise to disable all other plugins to isolate the issue – in the meantime I will test for this bug once S&F 2.0 is released.

Thanks

Ross, many thanks for your time and your precise answer. The reason why I can use the shortcode method is because it breaks the content shortcode. As you can see in the result of your test pages, it shows “content name=…” instead of replacing the content shortcode.
Do you think I’ll overcome this problem creating or adapting my own template ?

Hey Xavier

I’ve just had someone mention this to me so it may be a bug – I thought it might have been the particular plugin you are using…

I’m just finishing off S&F 2.0, so I will make sure to look in this also before the release – and if its a bug, include the fix in the release.

Thanks

Hey Xavier

I realised that after talking with another user, if you put the shortcode in “the excerpt” it seems to work ok, can you try?

This is certainly a bug I need to look into.

Thanks

Ross, I have a content replacement shortcode in both, the body and the excerpt.
See here : https://www.dropbox.com/s/o095pmm1wfiq0ay/Capture%20d%27%C3%A9cran%202015-06-12%2012.21.26.png?dl=0

Oups, sorry, are you talking about S&F shortcode or the “content shortcode” ?

Ah yes like that – try to make the normal “post edit box” empty and only leave the shortcode in the excerpt and see if that works?

No it does not change anything for me : with the post content totally empty and the content shortcode only in the excerpt, the shortcode is still “broken” in the filtered list.

Ah ok this is not the same experience as another user – I will need to investigate further – what I’m having difficulty doing is setting up an environment that has this issue in the first place which leads me to believe there is a conflict somewhere with your theme or another plugin…

I will continue to look for answers.

Thanks

Ross, I’ve just tried to desactivate the Avada theme, it did not change the content shortcode replacement bug in the s&f filtered excerpts.

Hi Xavier

Just to update – there is a bug here – which I will address with the S&F 2.0 update – I am no longer working on the older versions of S&F so will add a fix with this release.

Thanks
