Currently building a website for customer. As such, link will remain private for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can PM it if required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lovely plugin. Any questions, let us know. We are keen to stick with it. I have screen dumps &#8211; but there doesn&#8217;t seem to be a way of attaching them here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Initial info<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PHP version: 8.3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress version: 6.8.1 version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Motors plugin version: 1.4.79<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pre-checks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plugins deactivate one by one: No change in behaviour<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All plugins deactivated: No change in behaviour<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recommended Theme: No change in behaviour<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using Desired theme: No change in behaviour<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Motors Plugin setup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Listings page assigned to page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Default Desktop Layout for Listings: set grid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use WordPress search for listings: set off<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Filter by features: set on<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Custom fields each have within their filter settings, (Sort custom field options) Multiple filter selected and Show in filters selected.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some listings created with previous version and some with latest version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running non-pro (free) version as a starter for customer.
