[Resolved] Elementor Toolset View is not showing the “Custom Search” panel option

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to separate their search bar from the results but keeping them both on the same page

Solution:

To do this you will need to use the 2 shortcodes below. 1 for the search and 1 for the results.

[wpv-form-view name="rfg-search-for-cars" target_id="self"]

The above is for the search bar.

The code below would be for the results itself.
[wpv-view name="rfg-search-for-cars" view_display="layout"]

You can place these 2 shortcodes anywhere on the same page and it will work, however please remember to change the name of the view to the slugs of your search view.

I'm following to the letter this tutorial :
hidden link

It's working except the part when I can split the search box and the result box. In the video it's in the "Custom Search" panel option inside the Elementor Sidebar. But I don't have this panel.

Any idea how I can have this panel?
I'm coding on a local virtual machine, so I can't share a link.

(BTW, I can't upload an image, the button is not working for me)

Hi Alix,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Could you send a screenshot of what you are seeing in elementor when you are trying to insert the view ?

You can upload the screenshot to google drive or dropbox and share it with me here.

Thanks,
Shane

Hello Shane,

It is in French, I tried to switch to English but I can't.

First panel is "View the selection"
Second "Ignore the basic settings of the view"
Third "Secondary sorting"

My render (just a test)

(And with a search (its working))

Hi Alix,

Once you select the parametric search view, the option should appear.

Are you able to have the site uploaded so that I can have a look for you ?

Thanks,
Shane

Hey Shane,

Thank you for your reply.
I'm not sure about what I should select.

Is it something wrong with my view?

Unfortunately, I don't have time to put it online yet. I need to move quickly on these points.

Hi Alix,

As a workaround what you can do is to use insert the view shortcodes manually into the elementor text editors like this.

[wpv-form-view name="rfg-search-for-cars" target_id="self"]

The above is for the search bar.

The code below would be for the results itself.
[wpv-view name="rfg-search-for-cars" view_display="layout"]

You can place these 2 shortcodes anywhere on the same page and it will work, however please remember to change the name of the view to the slugs of your search view.

Thanks,
Shane
