    Hi Everyone,

    I’ve trying to do a wordpress migration of our current drupal site.

    On our page we have a search query that searches a specific type of content and returns search results within the same page.This was done using drupal views (simpleviewer) by the previous web student. Link below

    Each of the content types under the drop-down menu(Catalogue) on our drupal site has been exported then imported onto a WP site as content type “Books”

    I was thinking to use query wrangler to somehow implement this search query.However, im not too sure how to approach this issue. Please any advice would be helpful.

    Current WP test page

    Hi redarrow,

    I can’t see your current test page, and I’m not sure if QW can get you all the way there, but you can try exposed filters.

    The search filter exposes nicely. The tag and category filters expose fine as select boxes, but at a glance i see a small bug with the select field not retaining its value. I’m not sure what your Publisher data is.

    I’ll look at the select box selected value after submission. Let me know what issues you run into and I’ll try to get them resolved.

    Thanks,
    Jonathan
