Tell us what you are trying to do?
I need a filter for my frontpage where the user is able to select a relationship in a dropdown and then the results will be shown.
I have created some many to many relationships. Now I want to display a dropdown select where the user can select one topic. When this topic is selected I want to display another dropdown underneath the first dropdwon where the user can choose between subtopics related to the first one. If he does so - i want to display the related posts as a search result.
On other pages (like the one mentiont below) I used wpv-post-param to filter the dropdown oprions and if the post-param was empty I wouldn´t display anything. But with the new blocks this seems not to be possible? Where can I find the "display search results on other page or display search results on other part of site options? I am totally confused here.

Is there any documentation that you are following? No. There are none for the new Blocks plugin

Is there a similar example that we can see? Yes:
hidden link

What is the link to your site?
Just working on that site so it´s protected. But can give you access if you want.

Best regards
Hannes

Hi Hannes,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Unfortunately with Blocks you aren't able to separate the search filter from the view and add it to another page using the typical editor.

What you will need to do is to add a Classic editor block to the page and then use the Fields and Views button to add your view that you've created in Blocks.

When done like this you'll be presented with the options add the Search and Results on different pages.

Thanks,
Shane
