Show basic search filters, hide advanced filters behind button click

[nickchomey18]

Is there any way to show some basic filters (e.g. post type) using the block position, but the other filters (e.g. author, date, etc…) are only accessible by clicking the settings button?

Hi,

I’m afraid this is not possible unfortuantely.

I figured not. Is it possible to add some radio buttons using HTML to serve as the basic/permanently showing filters, pass the values to ASP, and then use the hidden/collapsible filters for the other settings?

Well, it is not that simple. The settings have to be within the settings form element in order for the plugin to be able to serialize and send the information to the server.
You could do some customization by hiding some items, and perhaps using javascript to show them forcefully – but each filter needs to stay as it is in the HTML structure, otherwise it may not work. I usually suggest a custom code where I can, but this is more complicated than that.

Ok thanks anyway! Please close the ticket
