I have a page with a block view (hidden link) and want to insert a custom search with a dropdown, which contains a posts field to choose from. Each of my custom posts contain a field "Canton", and I need, that a visitor can choose the avilable Cantons and then all the posts from this Canton are showing up. When I add a new search field, I can't find the post fields to choose from. What am I missing?
Hello. It's hard to explain :).
I have a custom post type with a field "Canton" (marked in screenshot1).
In the search, I want a dropdown menu where a visitor can select the Canton he would like and then all the posts for this entries are shown. Like on this page: hidden link (also made with Toolset).
Can you please send me admin access details and also share on what page you added your view.
*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.
I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
I checked and the strange thing is that with the view block the custom field name is not available when you try to add the new filter but if you create a view in legacy mode from Toolset => Views and try to create a new view and select your post type as source of the view and try to add a new search filter - I can see the custom field available to add as a search filter.
