[Resolved] Widget Views Filter – Target Page: drop down does not work

Hello,

I'm using your Types and Views plugin on this Jobs Recruitment site and I've created a parametric search that works on the search page here: hidden link

I've then created a widget on the home page that displays only the form: hidden link

That widget is the WP Views Filter widget and it should normally have a working 'target page' drop down list. However the dropdown list isn't working. Yes I do have several sets of pages and created a dedicated search page as referenced above.

I cannot get the search form to forward the search to the appropriate search page.

What can I do to fix this issue?

I'm using:

Wordpress 3.9.1
Types: 1.5.7
Views: 1.6.1

Thank you.
Cathie.

Hi Cathie,

Please try this:
1) deactivate other plugins and switch to wordpress default theme,
2) enable wordpress debug mode, repeat the actions you mentioned above, and post the debug logs here.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/debugging-types-and-views/
Also check if there is any javascript errors

and you can add a text widget, put Views filter form shortcode into it, like this:
[wpv-form-view name="my view name" target_id="123"]
123 is the target page ID

I haven't tried the debug but did use your text widget example and it works a dream.
Thank you.
Cathie.
