OK I THINK I understand but it’s a bit over my head.
Again, thank you SO VERY MUCH for your help.
So can I use Advanced Custom Fields On the subsite stores for the attributes so they can be filtered? I did try and set this up but your plugin couldn’t find the custom fields so I figured I was doing something wrong. I watched your YouTube video and it looked like I did things correctly but maybe Ajax Search Pro can’t find custom fields in a multisite setup??
2nd question (and I think it might be related as to why the attribute search won’t work):
I have pages set up to view artwork with specific category names (things like “Abstract”, “Scenic”, “Urban”, etc.). Each product on the subsite store is in one or more or these categories. But how do I set the filter to show ONLY those categories in the results? Currently it shows everything from which I can filter by price but I just wanted it to show only a specific category.Possible?
Regards and thank you again.
This is what I don’t understand though, Ernest.
If I use the ‘search’ bar for an attribute (for example, I have an image size attribute of “8 x 10” and “6000 x 6000”), and use those attributes, it finds the images. So I figure if it’s finding the attributes (because the plugin I’m using is a multisite indexer), then why is it I can’t filter those attributes?I could understand it the search bar found nothing but the fact that it’s showing results is what’s confusing me.
Thank you for your help so far. Amazing. And amazing plugin too!

Sorry to spam and edit but I’ve got the multisite filter working (kind of).
We spoke earlier about this and you said it couldn’t work because it can’t fetch data across the network. However, I have another plugin that does this so your filter works! …almost.The searchbar works fine on the HOME page and I’ve set up a filter on a sub-page and it’s working with the price slider.
However, the other filter options do not show a check box and the search area doesn’t work even though the search bar on the HOME page does. Huh?Could you look at it for me and see if you can work out why? The settings I have are almost identical to the filter on the staging site so I don’t get why this is failing.
EDIT: this MIGHT be a clue(??). Once the filter has completed loading and you see the images, clicking ANYWHERE else on the page kills it.
Weird huh?Home page (search bar near the top): https://artwaiter.com/
Sub-page with the half-working filter: https://artwaiter.com/scenic/
Staging site test filter: https://artwaiter.redsquirreldesigns.com/Thank you again and so SO sorry for the triple-post.

You know what, I forgot 2 more questions (and one of them is a REAL issue!)
5. How to get rid of the outside box around the images? I got rid of the line by reducing the opacity but there still seems to be a container box?
6. The filtering is a bit odd and I can’t work it out. If I have a product in 2 categories, if I only include one option in the search, it doesn’t show up.Forget this one…I found the answer.
Let me give a live example: in my staging site, you’ll see a drawing of a woman in red in Paris. This image is in the categories of ‘Drawings’ and ‘Sets’. If I have both of these options checked, the image displays. If I have only one option checked, it doesn’t. I need the filter to be set so that if just one condition is met, the image will show. Possible?PS…the staging slight is VERY slow. I’m aware of this…it’s garbage. Sorry.
Troy.
Hi Ernest.
I really REALLY appreciate your help and I’m about 98% of the way to getting it how I want.
I’ll find a solution to the filter on the main site so let’s forget that for now.
On each subsite though, I’ll use your filter.So, to test this, I’ve built a staging site and I’d love you to have a look as there are a couple of things I cannot figure out.
Link is here: https://artwaiter.redsquirreldesigns.com/Obviously you’ll see how I’ve set things up but can you help with the following:
1. Is there a way of removing the “Settings Icon” and leaving the filter box open at all times (I don’t need it to be expandable)?
2. Is there a way of magnifying the resulting images when they’re hovered over? (let’s say by 30%). If so, it’s fine if the resulting ‘zoom’ overlaps the other images…that’d look cool).
3. How to increase the font size of the headings like “Filter by category”
4. Is there a way of adding a “Add To Cart” option within the image box?I’ve a feeling that questions 1 and 3 will be easy for you, question 3 maybe a bit of custom css and question 4 might be impossible.
Looking forward to hearing from you and, once again, thank you for an amazing product!

Amazing. I’ve followed your tutorials….thank YOU!!
But I’m not sure what step I’m missing as it’s still not working quite right.Two possible reasons:
1. I’ve misunderstood completely how your filter works.
2. I’m an idiot (<—this is the likely reason)I have a page that’s showing the fetched results of various woocommerce stores from multisites.
I have your filter all set up.
But it’s not showing the product ‘attributes’ as I expected (in this case, the dimensions and orientation of artwork)…it’s just showing the “select all”button.
And if I just use the price filter, it’s not filtering the images I have on screen (this is where ‘option 2: idiot’ comes in as I suspect it’s not designed to work like this.Could you have a look at this link and you’ll see what I mean?
https://artwaiter.com/scenic/#link_tab-1684649715933-2Thank you so much for all your help…I’m using your plugin elsewhere on the site and it’s incredible. I bought the ‘pro’ version for this filter and I’m VERY excited by it.
Troy.
