2 - Is it possible to make no results show up first? The absolutely best would be if the results appear (preferably by ajax) only when someone clicks Søk (Search) - and then pushing everything below down.

If this is possible, you'll need the login credentials. I have provided them earlier here:

Thanks,

PS Minesh has helped me on a similar (block based) home page (in the thread above) but do not know when it can be finished since several issues remain. Hopefully the effort to fix this existing home page is very limited

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Do you mean that with the following page: hidden link
- Do you want to display results only when user change the filter from the top header?

Hi, Minesh
Sorry for my bad explanation. You are almost correct:
a - No results displayed until user has (changed filters and) clicked Søk/Search.
b - Less important: Results displayed using ajax/ without full page reload.
(The idea is to make more elements visible when opening the page, while results will fill it after an actual search 🙂

And:
c - Is it possible to make the selectors show only options with actual hits, dynamically?
For instance, if you select region (velg område) > Sardinia there are only hotels available. Anyway, in the house type (velg boligtype) selector, all house types are available.
(No problem with eg. Sardinia for now, but when we've added many houses to one region, the user easily will have no results.
If this is possible, the user instead can easily check what house types are actually available in one specific region)

Thanks again
Kjetil

I would need FTP access details to add some code as I do not have permission on edit the fiels on your site.

Can you please send me FTP access details.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Can you please check: hidden link
- Now you can see the results only when you select the filter and click on the search button.

i've added the following code to your active theme's functions.php file:

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'func_no_results_on_load', 101, 3 );
function func_no_results_on_load( $query_args, $view_settings, $view_id ) {
     
    if ( $view_id == 56602 ) { // edit the id
		if(!isset($_GET['wpv_filter_submit'])) {
			
			$query_args['post__in']=0;
		}  
}
 
    return $query_args;
}

Beautiful, Minesh!
Thanks a lot
This is a brilliant solution - which makes the page useful in a much better way, since many other elements can be visible on first load. Maybe an option to include in a future update of Views?

The only detail I could wish for, to make the visit more intuitive, is if it is possible to alter the text first displayed, instead of results:
"No items found"
...to something like "Adjust filters and click search to see places perfect for you" (in Norwegian, of course)
Where can I edit it?

Thanks you,
Kjetil

To change that message, please try to follow the steps shown with the following screenshot and replace the "No items found" message with your custom required text.
