Hi,

Thanks for the plugin. Works nicely.
Just one question. I have 5 main categories and some of those categories have subcategories. How make a drop down for those 5 main categories but still have search results returned for the subcategories of that main category. For instance, Property for Sale is main category. Villa/House is sub category of Property for Sale. Now the drop down will show Property for sale and the search should return ALL results for property for sale, even if the post is in a subcategory Villa/House.

Help is appreciated.

Boboc: The release I put out yesterday had a bug in it which has broken custom fields search. Hopefully if you get today’s version you should be okay.

Hello Don,
Congratulations on your plugin, i put this on a travel site http://www.abctours.ro and when i try to search custom fields for prices i get no result , can you tell me if i’m doing something wrong ?

all i get is “Keyword not found, please try a new search.” if i select any from the combobox, i receive all the results as expected

Thank you for your time

Don,
Scratch that last reply. If there’s more than one value in the drop-down menu, it only returns posts for the first value. Any value after the first comma returns no search results.

Thanks,
Pete

Don,
Thanks for the reply. I downloaded, installed, and tested the plug-in from the link you provided and unfortunately, it did not work. I did however come across something interesting…

If I only place one value in the drop down box, the search returns the proper posts. If I place more than one value (each separated by a comma), the search returns no results.

I found that interesting and hope it may be something that can be resolved in the near future. Thanks for your help and I look forward to your next reply!

Pete,
I think the plugin should work with wordpress 2.8, I’ve certainly got it working on a few sites although obviously it’s not as thoroughly tested on this setup as it is on the more mature releases. Could you try this version http://www.don-benjamin.co.uk/files/wp-custom-search-categories.zip and let me know if that helps?

Thanks,
Don

Does this plug-in work with Wordpress 2.8? I am unable to get it to return any post results.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
