Filter controls not visible

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

Problem: I have a custom search View with several front-end filters, but the filters do not appear on the page. I can see the results, but no filters.

Solution: Check to be sure "Disable the wrapping DIV around the View" checkbox is unchecked. If checked, this will hide the filter controls.

I am trying to add filter controls to a view, but they are not showing up.

Custom Search Settings - AJAX results update when visitors change any filter values

Search and Pagination

[wpv-filter-start hide="false"]
Filter start /* This is visible */
[wpv-filter-controls hide="false"]
Filter controls /* This is not visible */
<div class="form-group">
	<label>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Kategorier[/wpml-string]</label>
	[wpv-control-post-taxonomy taxonomy="category" type="multi-select" url_param="wpv-category"]
</div>
[wpv-sort-orderby type="select" options="post_title" label_for_post_title="Sorter etter navn" orderby_ascending_for="post_title"]
<div class="form-group">
	<label>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Kategorier[/wpml-string]</label>
	[wpv-control-post-taxonomy taxonomy="page_category" type="multi-select" url_param="wpv-page_category"]
</div>
[/wpv-filter-controls]
[wpv-filter-end]

Loop Editor

[wpv-layout-start]
	[wpv-items-found]
	<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
	<ul class="wpv-loop js-wpv-loop selskaper">
		<wpv-loop>
			<li>[wpv-post-body view_template="loop-item-in-view-3"]</li>
		</wpv-loop>
	</ul>
	<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
	[/wpv-items-found]
	[wpv-no-items-found]
		<strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong>
	[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]

Output Editor

Output editor /* This is visible */
[wpv-filter-meta-html]
[wpv-layout-meta-html]

Any ideas?

Hi, please edit the View and ensure the "Disable the wrapping DIV around the View" checkbox is unchecked. If checked, this will hide the filter controls. If this does not resolve the problem, tell me how you added the View to your site. Is it a shortcode, or a block in the block editor, etc? Please show me a screenshot in wp-admin.
