Hi,
My search criteria has several options.
1. Search by company
2. Filter by category
3. Search by stateHow can I join the search options by an AND condition? I am especially interested in being able to join the checkboxes with the search by state dropdown.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Hi,
Sure!
By default all criteria must match, so they are connected via an AND logic, but there are a few things that can affect that.
I recommend this exact configuration: https://i.imgur.com/4v5Bxzg.png
This will ensure that all criteria must match, as well as no matches from unset field values are allowed. (posts without taxonomy terms, or any missing custom field values)Hi,
I don’t think this is the correct configuration. Here’s why.If I only check Annuals there are no results but there should be approximately 14.
If I check Annuals and select the state of Utah there is one result which is correct
If I only select the state of Utah there is one result which is correct.
I need to be able to use all fields in an AND relationship but show results when only one is used.
Okay, in that case I think it’s still the correct one, aside from one minor change: https://i.imgur.com/94p5OO5.png
This will ignore the unchecked values from the checkbox, and will force to match at least one of the checkboxes.From looking at the front-end I think it might be the “Search by state”
The first value is set to “none” – which does not match anything. The filter value should be emtpy, and my guess is that currently it looks something like
none||Select a state. On the custom field filter setting, edit the “Search by state” and make sure the first value is changed to this:||Select a state
