Custom search filters

Hi!

I have a question regarding the following.

I get the price range slider to work, as it makes sense, in ACF I have filled in for example “10.000”, and when that value is in between the sliders (so for example between 8000 and 15.000), it shows, as it falls “in the range”.

I have trouble setting up other filters. I am making a website where people can find wedding venues.

One part of the filter is the capacity of a wedding venue in terms of people that can come.

A venue could have a max capacity of for example:
Wedding ceremony: max capacity “60” people.
Diner: max capacity of “80” people
Party: max capacity of “150” people.

Where in the brackets number, that number is storedd in ACF.

But when I try to do a slider, where people put in how many people they expect at the ceremony / diner / party, I am not getting it to work. I tried playing with the “less then” and “less and equal” operators, but I think i’m “thinking” wrong about it.

What I do not get to work is that any value below “max capacity” is allowed / valid to show as a result.

So in the example above, the max capacity of the party is 150, but when someone puts in 80 as their party group, the 150 is “valid”, as 80 people fit in a 150 capacity venue.

Can you help me on my way? Because right now, when people put in 80, it does not show the locations that have more than enough capacity.

Thanks 🙂 !

Hi,

Sure!

Okay, so in this case the best option is to use a “MORE OR EQUALS THEN” operator, as you want to show venues which have more capacity as the user input: https://i.imgur.com/fyA4MMr.png

So say they input 100 and the capacity of a venue is 180, then it passes as 180 is more or equals than 100.

Ahhh…… So I was thinking exactly the wrong way with that it should be less.

Thank you! Working great now 🙂 It’s fun to learn new things haha, thanks!

It’s all right, it is easy to get confused 🙂
