Boom! That works perfectly and I learned a little bit in the process. The results are exactly as expected now for the Age filter. Thanks again!

Everything seems to be working pretty well now thanks to your assistance.

Q1. You caught me. I had tried blanking the field, but for some reason didn’t try 0.

Q2. That works great.

The slider age selector still wasn’t working quite right (or as expected) and sometimes wouldn’t display a result if the age was in the middle of an age range. I went a different direction with the way to select ages, and while it’s not quite what I envisioned, it does do the job. Thanks for all your help getting it up and running.

Thank you very much for the help.

#1 worked like a champ.

#2 Worked awesome. Thank you.

#3 Kind of works. I changed to using a custom field and a range field and also made the change you suggested. It displays nicely from a visual standpoint (rather than a ton of boxes) and kind of works. It seems to work okay when leaving one end of the slider or the other at the farthest point. So you could search for 0-12 and get results, but 7-12 doesn’t pull up what I would expect (well it pulls up “no results:). I’m not sure if there is anything else that can be done. This is probably the biggest thing that attracted me to your module so hopefully it can get working someday.

Here’s new questions…

I suddenly seem to be having trouble getting the search field and the filters working by instant search. I swear they were working and then stopped, but I’ve tried a million things. If I remove the search box completely, then the filters work instantly. If I have them both showing, the filters will only work if I first search for a word. Any ideas what I have done to myself?

Sort order question. I would like to be able to sort the items in the vertical list into a particular order. As of now, some of them appear in the correct order and some don’t on initial load. After a filter is applied, the sorting falls into place by the designated field. What is the best practice for getting the results to sort in a fixed order when the search page is initially loaded?

Thank you again for your support.

Actually, scratch that. I’m sure we can get this working, right? Let me throw some things out there and see if you can point me in the right direction…

I have this page: http://www.occra.com/class-finder/

It shows the Ajax Search and also a Visual Composer Post Grid that display the same data using the same custom post type and custom taxonomy.

Problem #1: The text on the search filters doesn’t show up. It only shows up if the filters are done as a drop-down.
Problem #2: I like the way the Visual Composer Post grid shows *everything* and then the filters reduce the result. I can only get the Ajax Search to show me 12 results with an arrow scroll. I want to show them all or at least be able to specify the amount. My users will never see those arrows.
Problem #3: The Ladies Only check box simply does not seem to work in Ajax Search. If you click “Ladies Only” in the bottom grid, it limits the results to 6. If you click the “Ladies Only” check box in the Ajax part, it does not limit the results. “Filter by Ages” doesn’t work either. I’m really not sure why neither of them work.

I have more, but I’ll start with those three as they are the three most important.

Thanks, Lauren
