Problem: I would like to use a custom search View to display the search filters, then redirect the User to an archive page where the search results can be seen.
Solution: It's not currently possible to split up the search filters and results in a WordPress Archive. Use a custom search View or custom code.
Problem: I have a nested View structure that loops over post type A in a M2M relationship, and displays all the post type B related posts for each item in the loop of post type A. Since it's an M2M relationship, some post type B are shown multiple times. I would like to filter out the duplicate posts.
Solution: There is not an easy way to do this with nested Views. A JavaScript solution can work, but only without pagination in the View. In the Loop Editor:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
var seen = {};
jQuery('.remove-duplicate-stories').each(function() {
var txt = jQuery(this).text();
if (seen[txt])
jQuery(this).remove();
else
seen[txt] = true;
});
});
Problem: I would like to create a search results page that contains all custom post types, with results organized by post type.
Solution: You can create multiple Views, one for each post type, and insert them in the search results WordPress Archive. Add custom code that applies the search term to each View using the wpv_filter_query API.
Problem: I have a custom post type Destinations and a custom taxonomy Destination Types. I have another custom post type Stories that are child posts of Destinations.
On the Destination Type taxonomy archive page, I would like to show:
- A list of Destinations associated with this Destination Type
- A list of the child Stories of these Destinations
Solution:
- Create a WordPress Archive for the Destination Type taxonomy. Set this archive to only display Destination posts.
- In the Loop Output wpv-loop tags of this WordPress Archive, build the design that corresponds to the Destinations list
- Create a new View of Story posts (I will call this View #1), filtered by post relationship, where the post parent is the current post in the loop.
- In the Loop Output editor, you will build the design the corresponds to the Stories list. For now, you can simply insert a wpv-post-title shortcode in the wpv-loop tags to confirm things are working correctly.
- Create a new View of Destination posts, filtered by Destination Type taxonomy, where the taxonomy term is set by the current archive page. I will call this View #2.
- In the Loop Output editor of View #2, insert View #1 in the wpv-loop tags. Now you have nested View 1 inside View 2, resulting in a list of stories about each destination.
- Insert View #2 in the WordPress Archive, outside the wpv-loop tags, but still inside the wpv-items-found shortcode.
