Taxonomies not being appended to search url

Hi – I just installed the Pro version with a new license key here: http://testnews.eesea.com/

When searching from the search form, if I select a category or tag, its not being appended to the search URL – so I keep getting a search page with all results.

Please help!

Thanks!

Hi Amy,

I’m not sure what terms you’re searching on, and I wasn’t sure what to try either since your content is still in development, so I searched on the word “Comedy”, and this is the URL displayed after the search is performed.

http://testnews.eesea.com/?s=comedy&sfid=7

So you see it is actually appending the search term, and I did get just a few posts returned.

Did you figure out and fix your problem already?

It does work correctly if you enter the keyword you wish to search, however, if you don’t enter a keyword, and select only the Comedy category from the menu, then search, the item chosen from the menu will not be appended to the search.

The resulting URL will be: http://testnews.eesea.com/?sfid=7

Instead of:
http://testnews.eesea.com/?sfid=7&_sft_category=comedy

I’m unable to activate my new license key too – but I did go into my account here and manually add the site URL, so I guess it should be working?

Hi Amy

I think I see the problem – the JavaScript files for Search & Filter are not being loaded.

If you look in the source code you should see a reference to search-filter-build.js but this does not exist.

You will then need to add the following to functions.php:

wp_register_script( 'search-filter-plugin-build', home_url("/wp-content/plugins/search-filter-pro/search-filter-build.js"), array('jquery', 'jquery-ui-datepicker'), '1.4.3' );
wp_localize_script('search-filter-plugin-build', 'SF_LDATA', array( 'ajax_url' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ), 'home_url' => (home_url('/')), 'sfid' => '' ));

wp_register_script( 'search-filter-chosen-script', home_url("/wp-content/plugins/search-filter-pro/chosen.jquery.min.js"), array( 'jquery' ), '1.4.3' );

wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-ui-datepicker' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'search-filter-plugin-build' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'search-filter-chosen-script' );

Thanks

Ross you rock man! Solved all my problems! Just an FYI for others having this problem, the scripts were not loading correctly. I had to change the path of where the scripts are located to /public/assets/js/.

wp_register_script( 'search-filter-plugin-build', home_url("/wp-content/plugins/search-filter-pro/public/assets/js/search-filter-build.js"), array('jquery', 'jquery-ui-datepicker'), '1.4.3' );
wp_localize_script('search-filter-plugin-build', 'SF_LDATA', array( 'ajax_url' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ), 'home_url' => (home_url('/')), 'sfid' => '' ));

wp_register_script( 'search-filter-chosen-script', home_url("/wp-content/plugins/search-filter-pro/public/assets/js/chosen.jquery.min.js"), array( 'jquery' ), '1.4.3' );

wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-ui-datepicker' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'search-filter-plugin-build' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'search-filter-chosen-script' );
