Tell us what you are trying to do?
I want to use a shortcode on a page to display all all results from a specific taxanomy i.e. flooring, plumbing etc
Is there any documentation that you are following?
I have tried using [wpv-view name="search" wpvcategory="Flooring"] and I have tried using [wpv-view name="search" Service="Flooring"]
Is there a similar example that we can see?
Here is the page with all search functionality that we have successfully created:
hidden link
Dear Josh,
Yes, it is possible to pass parameter to Views with shortcode attribute, here are the documents:
1) You need to setup a filter based on the shortcode attribute:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/filtering-views-by-taxonomy/
Value set by View shortcode attribute
2) Then setup the Views shortcode, and pass parameter with shortcode attributes:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/passing-arguments-to-views/
section "Controlling the filter with shortcode attributes"
I have done it that way for other projects but it doesn't seem like it can be done for a search. There is no 'Query Filter' options for a search.
Please click link "Screen options", enable option "Query Filter", and test again
I have enabled this now, thanks. We have set this up but still the following shortcode doesn't work
[wpv-view name="view-name" service="cleaning"]
Please check these:
1) deactivate other plugins and switch to wordpress default theme, and test again
2) If the problem still persists, please provide a test site with the same problem, and fill below private detail box with login details, also point out the problem page URL and view URL, I need to test and debug it in a live website. thanks
Since you did not point out the problem page and view URL, so I assume we are talking about the view "Products", and I have done below modification in your website:
1) deactivate plugin "Password Protected", to test the result in your website
2) Create a page with below codes:
hidden link
Carry Bags:
[wpv-view name="Products" wpvcategory="Carry Bags"]
<hr />
Cellophane Rolls:
[wpv-view name="Products" wpvcategory="Cellophane Rolls"]
Test above page in front-end:
hidden link
It works fine, please check if it is what you want.
Sorry it like I sent you the details for the wrong website. Can you please resend that form?
Thanks for the details, I just checked the website you mentioned in post:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/showing-search-results-for-a-custom-taxanomy/#post-581424
For example this page:
hidden link
using below shortcodes:
[wpv-view name="Products" wpvcategory="Carry Bags"]
And it does work fine in front-end, see the result here: there are 6 items in the result
hidden link
Is this problem resolved? if you still need assistance for it, please point out where and how can I see the problem in your website, thanks
Are you serious? Yes it works fine on the jazzbags website but that is not the website we are currently working on. This was another site we previously built and are using that as an example
This is the website and an example of a problem page
hidden link
There is a misunderstand, the website you talking about:
hidden link
Which is different from the original website:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/showing-search-results-for-a-custom-taxanomy/#post-581424
For the new website, please check these:
1) deactivate other plugins and switch to wordpress default theme, and test again
2) If the problem still persists, please provide a database dump file (ZIP file) of your website in below private detail box, also point out the problem page URL and View URL, I need to test and debug it in my localhost, thanks
I have done below modification in your website:
1)Edit the view "search":
hidden link
in section "Query Filter", remove the taxonomy filter:
Select posts with taxonomy:
Categories in one of these:
It will return no posts in the result
2) Modify the post "Cleaning Services"
hidden link
In section "Content Template", choose option "None"
It will be able to output the post content directly.
Please test again, check if it is fixed or not. thanks
Sorry but I can;t follow that. I tried using the same shortcode for ht other pages but that doesn't work? Are you bale to provide any documentation or screenshots of what you're trying to explain? Anything to make it clearer would be helpful
I have already provided the document links in my first answer:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/showing-search-results-for-a-custom-taxanomy/#post-580970
I suggest you start with simple settings, with one filter in the view, if you still need assistance, please point out the problem page URL, where and how I can see the problem:
I tried using the same shortcode for ht other pages but that doesn't work
Can you provide screenshots so we can see where you're making these changes? We tried to follow the steps outlined and used the same shortcode but are unable to get the results you're getting form your shortcode.
