Does not work in new WP 4.2

I’m also seeing this

It seems the “select” type is still working. “checkbox” won’t show.

As of now the only replacement I can find is “Ultimate WP Query Search Filter”. GUI instead of shortcode, and not 100% the same functionality like S&F.

Hopefully the S&F can be back soon. Nice plugin actually.

I did a littlebit of digging and there doenst seem to be a simple fix, the wp_list_categories function doenst seem to be accepting any custom parameters anymore. ‘name’ is being added for the plugin to work properly. Removing brings back the checkboxes but seems to break the Tax walker and so the filtering function.

If you want to debug yourself:

Add unset($args[‘name’]); to line 1699 in search-filter.php

$args['walker'] = new Taxonomy_Walker($type, $args['name']);

unset($args['name']);

$output = wp_list_categories($args);

Next I changed line 138 in of-taxonomy-walker.php

from:

$link = "<label><input type='".$this->type."' name='".$name."[]' value='".$cat_id."'".$checked." /> ".$cat_name;

to:

$link = "<label><input type='".$this->type."' name='".$this->defaults."[]' value='".$cat_id."'".$checked." /> ".$cat_name;

This brings back filtering on multiple fields but still does not support checking multiple checkboxes on 1 field.

Hope it helps someone debugging further!

This is getting worked on right now ?? Should be up an running again in next couple of days – martijnn94 is correct.

Thanks

Goodo ??

I actually thought S&F free was also not working, but I’ve just tested and seems to be fine,

Can you all confirm if you are using free or pro??

Thanks

– EDIt my bad, regular selects seem to work, other field types don’t…

Update available ??

Great, back to normal now, thanks for the update.

I’m having the same issue but I’m using the pro plugin (version 1.4.3). No taxonomies are shown when using radio, checkbox or multiselect. This happened after updating to WordPress 4.2

Hey Breon, as mentioned in both this version and pro, a patch has been applied to get these working again – if you’re still having issue theres likely something else at play.

Can you open a ticket on the pro support forums? (we don’t check these as often)

Everything works now. Thank you!
