Search Form format after update

Thanks for posting this @factchecker. You’re right about the setting causing form items to get hidden, which is due to some changes made to the form elements themselves to become ADA compliant.

This has been corrected and is fixed in the update 5.6.6.1 which was released just now.

Hello,

I have the opposite problem now. Category will not display in my search form without the Styling Options (Advanced) (Beta) and click NO. I have added code to my Template files to show Tags as detailed below.

Event Page: https://www.workforcesoftware.com/newsroom/events/

events-list.php

$args = apply_filters('em_content_events_args', $args);
if ( !empty($_REQUEST['search-tag']) ){
                $args['tag'] = $_REQUEST['search-tag'];
        }
  $args = apply_filters('em_content_events_args', $args);
if( get_option('dbem_css_evlist') ) echo "<div class='css-events-list'>";
echo EM_Events::output( $args );
if( get_option('dbem_css_evlist') ) echo "</div>";

events-search.php
…

//categories
if( !empty($args['search_categories']) ) em_locate_template('templates/search/categories.php',true,array('args'=>$args));
			
//tags
$selected = !empty($_REQUEST['search-tag']) ? $_REQUEST['search-tag'] : 0;
wp_dropdown_categories(array( 'hide_empty' => 0, 'name' => 'search-tag', 'hierarchical' => true, 'taxonomy' => EM_TAXONOMY_TAG, 'selected' => $selected, 'show_option_none' => 'All Regions', 'class'=>'em-events-search-tag'));

Can you help me get the Categories back in the Search?

Thank you for a great plugin and support it is greatly appreciated:)

Hello,

My Category field does not show anymore. I have updated and chose Styling Options (Advanced) (Beta) > Yes as indicated in the previous post.

I appreciate your help and guidance. Thank you.

I’ve tested it out again and categories show up for either Styling Options turned on or off, so it’s likely your changes that are hiding the form now.

Have you tried removing your templates for now (e.g. rename your wp-content/themes/theme_name/plugins/events-manager folder) and seeing if our default ones work?

just checked your theme, it’s in your style.css file:

div.css-search div.em-search-advanced label {
    display: none;
}

You’d need to remove that sort of line.

Thank you! It must have changed with the update. I added “span” to the declaration and it hides the label and provides the dropdown menu.

Yup, that’ll work ??
