 * The post types don’t seem to be displaying for the form. Here’s the code we’re
   using [searchandfilter taxonomies=”post_tag,post_type”]. You can see the example
   at [http://iwhc.wpengine.com/?s=global](http://iwhc.wpengine.com/?s=global)

 * Hi there, please make sure you are using the latest version.
 * Then in admin section of your wordpress install head to the `Search & Filter`
   menu, you will find documented there an option called `post_types` which you 
   are not using in your shortcode… The shortcode above modified would look something
   like:
 *     ```
       [searchandfilter taxonomies="post_tag,post_type" post_types="post,page,custom_post_type"]
       ```
   
 * Let me know if this works, thanks
