    Hi,

    I am trying to asynchronously update an Elementor post grid in my theme.

    The grid can be seen on this page: http://3.21.159.200/classes/

    Under “Display & Results” for the plugin configuration I have selected “Custom” and specified the class
    .elementor-widget-container in the “Ajax container” field.

    When I try to use the filter the results come back as jibberish.

    I’d greatly appreciate your support on this as I’m really close to having this all setup!

    That sounds like our old integration method. We have now introduced an extension for Elementor, and a new guide on how to use it. Both are to be found here:

    https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/3rd-party/elementor/

    Make sure that you are using the 2.5.1 version of our plugin.

    I am using a custom Elementor widget that comes with my theme and it does not have a “Query” field.

    There is only an option to enable “WP_Query”

    In that WP Query field, what does it allow you to enter?

    Although, it may be that the Custom Post Widget may not be supportable.

    It doesn’t allow me to enter anything in that field. It’s just a toggle that allows you to enable WP Query on the component.

    Do you not support any other integration methods?

    Your documentation suggests that there are other ways to attach Search & Filter.

    I really want to support your plugin but it’s not of much use to me if I can’t get it to output results to my native theme post components.

    Please take a look at this URL.

    It looks like the filter is working when you do a full page refresh but Ajax is not working.

    I got it working by taking these steps

    1. Switched the results display mode to Custom
    2. Added the following shortcode inside the row containing my theme’s unique Elementor blog widget

    [searchandfilter id=”ID of search & filter form” action=”filter_next_query”]

    3. Added a unique ID to the Elementor blog widget called #results
    4. Specified the #results div id in the “Ajax container” configuration option

    Great to hear and thanks for getting back to me. I will close this thread for now.
