WP Bakery and Search & Filter Pro problems – not showing through

Hi Ross

I added this to Thorsen’s ticket but realised there are five pages of conversation in that so thought it might be simpler to post a separate ticket. I am also having similar issues to Thorsen.

My existing S&F WP Bakery searches are fine in production and I have left these well alone. Cloning existing pages seems to create a working page too but when I try to create a fresh form and attach it to a page it doesn’t work.

I have ensured the results URL are correct and there is data to display. (I even switched it to a shortcode on the page to prove that the posts were there are working fine without the WP Bakery bridge).

One odd anomaly is that when you go into existing pages and look at the post grid element the name of the old search and filter forms are no longer there. You need to reselect them.

I haven’t had any errors when switching on DEBUG either.

I am running on the following versions:

WP Version: 5.2.2
WP Memory Limit: 256 MB
PHP Version: 7.2.20
PHP Max Input Vars: 10000
MySQL Version: 5.5.5
Search & Filter Pro – WP Bakery Page Builder by Code Amp – 0.1.0
Search & Filter Pro by Code Amp – 2.4.6
WPBakery Page Builder by Michael M – WPBakery.com – 6.0.5

Strangely the page with the new search and filter form looks like it is trying to load something but doesn’t ever show the data. Three small dots keeping rotating instead where the posts should be.

I have switched off my caching (WP Rocket) to no avail too.

Here is the page in question

https://hub.dbis.edu.hk/operational-information/uniform-stationery/#uniform

There should be a list of titles under the text:

“….in a school bulletin see below:”

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Trevor

I did a bit more digging and found the problem – I figured it had to do with the anomaly where if you go into existing VC pages and look at the post grid element, the name of the old search and filter forms are no longer there.

If you look at the new S&F VC code in the normal editor, the search_filter_slug now has an extra parameter compared to the old versions.

NOT WORKING VERSION
[vc_basic_grid post_type=”search_filter” search_filter_slug=”?search-filter-widget=bulletins-uniform” element_width=”12″ gap=”0″ orderby=”title” order=”ASC” item=”39647″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1563592838113-15ad3d1e-1284-9″][searchandfilter slug=”?search-filter-widget=bulletins-uniform”]

I removed

?search-filter-widget=

in two places and it now works.

This might be of use to the developer and anyone else having issues.

Best regards

Sheila
