Hey Christian,
Yeah I was able to figure it out last night. And you’re right...it’s because I was trying to apply it in excerpt. So I applied it to my archives template instead and changed some of the code and it works great now. Just have the change a couple of other things to clean it up a bit and we’re good to go.
I haven’t added any custom filtering in except. However, I was wondering how I can apply custom filtering in my sidebar menu where it auto-updates when any checkbox filters are clicked? Kinda like what you on the top of this page: hidden link . But I would like that to appear in the left sidebar instead (underneath the “Category” section). But I would like to keep the pagination on the top of the page though (just like how it is now)...and I would to also like to display the pagination on the bottom too if that’s possible (so it shows on top AND bottom). Is that something you could help me with here or would I have to open up a separate ticket?
Thanks,
James
I'm not sure how your sidebar is created, so the process for editing that content isn't clear to me. If you are able to add arbitrary content there, then you should be able to add filters. Normally when you insert a View in some template, you will see a popup that allows you to choose whether you want to display the filters and the results, just the filters, or just the results. So in your case, you would insert just the filters in the sidebar. Then insert just the results in the main content area.
You can add multiple sets of pagination, that's not a problem. You can copy the pagination shortcodes from the Search and Pagination editor and paste them in the Output editor just before the wpv-loop-end comment.
