I am not sure. We DID change how our current plugin works with EDD, where it isn’t the standard method, so you can use the filter_next_query shortcode. These changes are in this revised guide:

Hi Trevor,
I know these changes in your last update, but a few month ago you told me, that my theme does not use the EDD shortcodes. So I had to do a workaround

Do you think my theme will work with the new edd guide?
Thanks

Ah, my bad. It is this that I think you might now need to use (so setting the display type to ‘Custom’):

The last method, here:

Hi Trevor,
don’t get me wrong. At the moment everything is working fine on my page.
I just want to prevent that V3 is causing problems.

Aat the moment I’m using
[searchandfilter id="426455" action="prep_query"]

Should I change it to
[searchandfilter id="426455" action="filter_next_query"]

At the moment my template includes just
$args['search_filter_id'] = 426455;

Should I change it to

$args = array('post_type' => 'post');
$args['search_filter_id'] = 123;
$query = new WP_Query($args);

If what you have is working, don’t change it. If it stops working, then you may need to change it. We made some changes to our plugin support for EDD because EDD changed the way their plugin works.
