I have now found a workaround (php edits) to enable me to have the following:
1. A search view that doesnt show results on pageLoad
2. When you eneter a search term it creates (ajax) results below the search box
3. When using reset it will clear results
Next question:
I have setup taxonomies with categories and child categories. In the results I want to display the Speakers category which I can do using [wpv-post-taxonomy type="speaker-categories" format="name"]
What shortcode do I need to use for Sub Categories?
Great to hear that you have found the solution for search results.
Please kindly mark this current ticket as resolved if all is good now and open a new ticket for this additional problem regarding taxonomies and we will help you to resolve this issue as well. This will help other users with similar problems to find solutions when searching the forum, I am not allowed to handle multiple issues in the same ticket. If this is OK with you?
This is driving me crazy - Above I found a solution on my testing server. I then moved it over to a dev site and the only difference is that it uses a different theme. I am not using Layouts plugin so there should be no integration problems but it doesnt work again - I need to get this resolved today
Sorry to hear that you are having problem in your live site. Which specific problem you are referring to now? We have worked on couple of issues in this ticket. And this ticket is marked as resolved which means I can't see it in my tickets queue and to work further we are required to open a new one.
So please kindly open a new ticket for this additional problem and we will help you to resolve the issue as well.
Further, it would be great if you can share your Live site login access? To debug this issue further, we will need to take a look at your setup and investigate further on site, because the problem is only appearing on live site and not the test site.
