Hi,

I was just defining a very simple search on a custom post type called "products".
Each time I try to add a filter and/or a submit button : those are hidden.

the results are visible though. Just the filters and submit button are hidden.
It seems (when inspecting on Chrome) that the html element "form" has a inline style with a display:none;

Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch.

This normally occurs when you've added the view and set it to display only the results. Can you let me know the exact shortcode that you're using to display the view or if you're using blocks ?

Whenever the view is told to display only the search results then the search bar will be hidden. This is generally done by using the shortcode parameter view_display="layout"

Please check your view to ensure that this parameter has not been added to the shortcode.

Thanks,
Shane

OK. I removed the 'view_display="layout" ' and now it displays the filters and buttons. ok.

Now two additional related questions because it is still not exactly good :
when we first access the page, all "products" are displayed (a lot), whereas no choice has been made yet concerning the filters and I think I'd prefer not to display any products yet.
(FYI : I am using the good old Toolset Views legacy since when I upgrade to Toolset blocks, some of my shortcodes (conditional, and others are not working anymore) and I'll like to stay as such if possible).
thanks

Hello,

You can do this by using our Conditional shortcode to hide the results.
Wrap your view output information inside this shortcode

[wpv-conditional if="('[wpv-search-term param='wpv_view_count']' ne '' )" ]
<wpv-loop>
My loop content here
</wpv-loop>
[/wpv-conditional]

Please let me know if thi shelps..
Thanks,
Shane
