    Hello Trevor, sorry for the late reply.

    I do not understand your answer, sorry for that.

    I had a plugin developed for the custom post I use. The same developer made the loop-files for me. He did not store them in the plugin folder, but followed the instructions an made a custom loop inside the shortcode that the plugin provides.

    Then about the theme calling that loop file. Why is there an option on the plugin settings to specify a file to be used when it is the theme calling it?

    The strangest thing is though, that the loop-files do work while stored in the child theme’s folder but only partially (see pdf in the previous message). So why does it fall back to some default options?

    I know it is not doable to oversee all complexity and mistakes we’ve maybe made by building the website, it is often a matter of little details. So I don’t ask to troubleshoot it, but I would like to understand how this works, just because I want to use your plugin on more websites.

    Thanks for replying,
    Elly

    Hello Ross,

    This is an addition to my former reply.

    Take a look at the file on: https://poolwest.nl/searchresults.pdf
    I think this explains what happens.
    The custom loop.php is working, but has some css issues/bugs it was not having while it was on the includes of the themes’ folder.

    That can be corrected, but then my question about how to proceed when an child-theme cannot be used is a question I would love to get an answer on.

    Thanks, Elly

    Hello Ross,

    I don’t know if complicated is the word, but it isn’t straightforward, you are correct on that.

    Will explain a bit what we did.

    On the website we have, we import two feeds from an external database.
    Those feeds go via ACF to two different Custom Post Types.
    We use your plugin to search and filter the data from both the feeds.
    We made a different loop.php-files for each of the CPT.
    The files are stored together with the default loop.php in the folder includes in the theme folder.

    So far so good, working smooth!

    But everytime the theme gets an update, the two custom loop-files disappear.
    And I re-upload them to have it all working again.

    I would like to store the loop-files in another folder, while I prefer not to use a child-theme.

    I therefor put the files in the wp-content folder.
    (I put the location in the filename for template options, something like “../../wp-content/loop-vacature.php”. I know that this is not for that purpose, but I mention it to give you the complete information.)
    When I hit search, I only saw one item. Not on a page, not multiple, just one item.
    It looks like those files did work (?) but some extra functionality can find a needed function when the files are on wp-includes but on on the wp-content.

    I opened this question on your forum and got the answer of Trever to use the child-theme.
    Although I don’t want to use a child-theme (will explain that later), I wanted to see what happens. I made the child-theme, put a folder includes in it and in that folder the loop.php-files.
    This did not have the result I was expecting.
    We can go debugging the issue of course, but what more important is to me, is the question if the custom loop.php can function when it is in the wp-content or other ‘safe’ location.
    The reason therefor is that this external database will not only be used on ‘my’ website, but also on other partner-websites. I would like to use the S&F-plugin on those websites as well, but I really cannot ask the partners to all have their themes changed to a child-theme. I simply can’t do that.

    So, the real question is: how can I store the custom loop.php-files in a ‘safe’ folder without losing the functionality?

    Hope you can help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Elly

    Thank for answering. The title of this post is not correct. Sorry for the confusion.

    I’ve replaced the custumized loop.php to the child themes includes-folder.
    But I see that the files are not being used.
    Why is that?
    Do I need to refer to the loop.php from within the S&Fplugin? If yes, how?

    The problem I am trying to solve here is that the loop.php is being deleted when it is inside the themes includes-folder.
