In reply to: how to dynamically create custom xml sitemapWhoa, Thats a little confusing to me. I’m very new to xml. do you know of any pages with a documention and some examples that I can learn from, to achieve this?
Alright I’ll try that. but won’t get_query_var() return a slug and not the actual term name?
Okay, what I’m trying to achieve are correct titles for filtered results. for example I Have urls like these
www.example/vehicles/location/london/model/BMWright. but then the title would show asLondon archves - sitename. I need it to returnBMW used cars for sale in London on sitenameBasically I’m doing this to avoid duplicate titles showing on search engines, cause I have these urls hooked in a sitemap
How would I just get the terms and not the posts?

Hi Csloisel,
Well the code does work when there are posts. What do you suggest?
Aha! You’re a genius. it works perfectly. thanks alot man.
just one last newbie question. last one I promise. I know having a pretty permalink like this is good for seo right, but how exactly do these get indexed on google and bing? is it through a sitemap or url parameter or something else?
Hi again Jonathan,
alright. let me see if I understand what you’re saying.
The BTF plugin integrates perfectly on the theme. all features are displaying where they should be (thanks to automagic). no issues there.
The only issue is with the filter results. let me try to show you using my actual urls, with BTF and the default filter.
BTF search url on address bar:
https://localhost/autoclub/vehicles/vehicle-type/sedan/model/alfa-romeo/ -> This returns 404default filter search url on address bar:
https://localhost/autoclub/search-results/?main_cat=34&tax_vehicle_model=&range_1=0%3B10000000&tax_vehicle_type=sedan&tax_vehicle_status=&price_min=0&price_max=10000000&wpas=1 -> This worksNotice how the default filter uses a different search template (Templates/template-search-results.php) . I want to change that. I’m going to deactivate the default filter, and use BTF
So my thoughts are to copy
tax_queryfrom the search template to the cpt-archive.php. could this work?this is templates/template-search-results.php
<?php /* Template Name: Search Results */ get_header(); // Enable to see default query posted by the form define('WPAS_DEBUG', false); $args = tdp_search_fields(); $my_search = new WP_Advanced_Search($args);

Hello Jonathan,
Oh I see. My goal really is to get the plugin to function. It doesn’t matter which template it uses. I’ve just tried the
do_actioncall before the loop but it still returns a 404this is how my actual search url looks like
I just can’t seem to find a solution
Thanks
Hi Sultan,
I also want to show search results in my template. Please share with me on how did you achieve this?

In reply to: [Beautiful taxonomy filters] 404 page not found on filterHi Chris,
Thanks for commenting. I think the issue could that my theme outputs search results on a different paged template, I mean like https://mysite.com/search/tax/term/tax/term when the plugin outputs like this https://mysite.com/posttype/tax/term/tax/term. do you have any idea how I could change the plugin using my archives for search results, to using my search template like theme does?
