Hi,
I’m have a couple of issues using Search and Filter Pro on an archive template created in Beaver Themer. This is used to create templates in the Beaver Builder page builder that can be assigned to particular posts. I’ve created a Custom Post Type with Custom Fields in Pods and am trying to create a kind of Library for my client’s website. The template is a grid that displays the featured image of my Custom Posts. I am trying to add the functionality to be able to search and filter these. It’s almost working without Ajax. It kind of half works with Ajax but sometimes it wouldn’t seem to reset.
OK, enough of the waffle… here’s the problem: If I type a search item in to the search box that isn’t found, then I’m directed to a blank page with the message “Sorry, no content matched your criteria”. I want it to stay in the same template, as it does if you select an item from the drop down that doesn’t exist.
My second problem is not so urgent. At the moment I can search for the name of the company and it will single out the image associated with it. I’m not sure if it’s finding it in the filename, alt text or title of the post. When I was testing with the free version, I tested on standard posts and the search would find any content with the post. This would be very useful, because you could, for example, search for the other company in the deal, the people involved, maybe the tv programs made by the company. Is it possible to search within the post when it is a custom post type?
The URL to see the work in progress is here:

Type any random word into the search box to see the first problem.
Try typing in the name of the second company shown on the image, as it is mentioned in the text of the post.
Many thanks for any help you can give.
p.s. I’m a bit of a newbie at all this, as you may gather, so please forgive any dumb questions 😀
