In reply to: [WP Query Search Filter] plugin doesnot workBINGO! I can’t thank you enough for that advice – your plugin works just as I wanted it to now I have added the recommended one by yourself.
I can’t stress how happy I am at this moment. Thanks again!

Thanks for the quick reply once again. I have had a look at your comments and gone back to amending the site.
I believe your plug in is what I require – I feel that I am almost there with it.
Right, I have created four categories (Parent categories) – Boat Size, Boat Style, Boat Price and Boat Location. I then created more categories, generating the hierarchy such as 10 feet, 20 feet, 30 feet which went below Boat Size and so on…
I then created a boat listing post (copying the same text and images from the previously created page), I checked the categories which related to the listing – location, size, cost and style.
Once that was sorted I created four category taxonomies using the plug in – Boat Size, Boat Style, Boat Price and Boat Location.
However, when I refreshed the site – the four taxonomies (drop down filters) I had created had all of the categories listed under each section, rather than the specific categories for the titles.
The search worked fine, I just assumed that as I created a hierarchy of categories with the parent ones having the same name as the taxonomy, the drop down options would have paired up some how. Basically I require the category hierarchy to match up top the search filters created – four main sections, with separate drop downs, not having all of the same options.
Is there any way of doing that, I assume there is, as that’s how I originally had it looking using the custom meta option – even though that would not have worked. I have also seen that way of filtering options on other websites.
I look forward to your advice on the above.
Hi Sofia (and Marco),
I have previously been using a header image slider in twenty eleven, which is unable to add hyperlinks to images – and now my client requires them, so I have come across this excellent plug in.
I have installed the plugin, adding the desired images and information however it doesn’t seem to be working. I can see that Sofia got the plugin working exactly how I require it to (but with different hyperlinks on each image), but struggled in the first instance. The complete code from the plugin is below:
<div id="cimy_div_id_0">Loading images...</div> <div class="cimy_div_id_0_caption"></div> <style type="text/css"> #cimy_div_id_0 { float: left; margin: 1em auto; border: 0px solid #000000; width: 1000px; height: 288px; } div.cimy_div_id_0_caption { position: absolute; margin-top: 175px; margin-left: -75px; width: 150px; text-align: center; left: 50%; padding: 5px 10px; background: black; color: white; font-family: sans-serif; border-radius: 10px; display: none; z-index: 2; } </style> <noscript> <div id="cimy_div_id_0_nojs"> <img id="cimy_img_id" src="http://mywebsite/wp-content/Cimy_Header_Images/0/chessboard.jpg" alt="" /> </div> </noscript>I tried copying all of the code into the header.php, copying just the style information into my css child theme etc and nothing. Looking at the css on http://bleketsbastu.se/ I can see the cimy_div_id_0 style is there, so I think I just need some advice on what code/where to copy the php information into my header.php file.
Are you able to point me in the right direction please? I look forward to hearing from someone very soon. Thanks in advance.

In reply to: [WP Query Search Filter] plugin doesnot workThanks for your swift response.
If you drop done size it’s in feet, style is the different style names, price starts at £30,000 then moves up by £10,000 each time up to £60,000 and location is just the two locations. As mentioned previously each boat will have it’s own listing with images and describing text. The idea would be the user could look for a 40 foot boat, cruiser style, priced at £40,000 at one of the locations. Each boat listing will have information relating to each category.
Would I need to create four categories – size, style, price and location? Then using your plugin create a meta tag for each, such as boatsize, boatstyle, boatprice and boatlocation? Once I’ve done that create a post for each boat listing making sure it has all four meta tags attached? Then do I add the hyperlink for each post to the thumbnails on their respective pages?
Can you please confirm if that’s what I need to do next. Again, I really appreciate your help on this matter.

In reply to: [WP Query Search Filter] plugin doesnot workFirstly, the plugin looks great and is just what I need. However, I am having similar issues getting it to filter through my items and work correctly.
I am currently working on a website which sells narrowboats. The end user will simply use the website to search for a suitable boat, then email/phone to purchase/view the boat.
The search criteria is categorised in four sections – size, style, price and location. The owner has two locations where they sell the narrowboats from, which I have added in my menu anyway as a drop down from ‘Boats For Sale’. I was the planning on creating a simple thumbnail button for each boat, which would go to the specific page listing size, style, price etc and also show some images in a gallery. I have done all of that in pages, rather than posts/categories.
Search by keyword works correctly – but that’s only if you know what you are looking for. When I use the drop downs for each category there is never a search result, even if I leave each one as ‘All’ for each.
Are you able to give me some advice on this matter please and point me in the right direction.
I look forward to a reply.
