In an archive page, I would like that no post is displayed below the custom search form until a search is performed by a user.
In other words, when the archive page is loaded for the first time user should only see the search form.
Same thing when the user resets the search.
Great in a case like this you will need to wrap your entire archive loop in a conditional block and using the advanced editor set the conditional to the following.
( ( '[wpv-search-term param='wpv_view_count' ]' ne '' ) )
Also see my screenshot for the advanced editor. Once you've done this, only when a search is performed will the results display. Otherwise it will be blank.
We are going to have to check the filter against another URL parameter that is added. The main issue is because the "wpv_view_count" parameter is always there it is guaranteed to ensure that your results display.
However with the AJAX refresh the parameter isn't removed when you click the reset button. Is there another field that you can guarantee that the users will search for ?
We can use this instead since all the custom fields get removed from the URL when the reset button is clicked. If so can you let me have a look at the search page and I can provide the correct parameter to be used.
