Better Search possibilities mit filter and taxonomie search

[Stephan]

Hello,

my Website http://www.seminar-finder.online is fucoused on events. Usually every eventportal has a searchbar with filter functionality.

In my case I got 4 differnet eventtypes (city, date, categorie and speaker)

As a final result I would like to have a searchbar on the frontpage, directly inside the image where the user can type in something but also have to possibility to filter through these 4 eventtyps.

I already tried out a plugin (search & filter) but there I cant filter the sub-eventtypes like the date or the city

So I thought I first should ask the developers, there might have a good idea for a solution 🙂

So I hope you know what I mean and looking forward to hear your answer.

Kind regards, Stephan

Hi Stephen, being doing some investigation on this topic in order to provide a good answer.

First of all, the top of the top would be having a custom plugin ad-hoc for your site, which would provide speed and effectiveness, but this would of course cost some extra cash for a developer.

Therefore the second alternative would be going by plugins.
I checked out the plugin you mentioned and it doesn’t have support for custom fields (post-metas).
Therefore is not the best for you.

A good solution seems to be the combination of 2 plugins: Taxonomy Picker + Relevanssi.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/taxonomy-picker/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/relevanssi/

Another one that supports post metas, otherwise, is this one:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-extended-search/

So I’d suggest to check them out as it seems you can achieve what you need following this path, eventually may require some reading and testing but it may save you quite some money.

If you need any more suggestions along your path we are here.
Thanks

Thanks for your fast reply. Ok thanks I will test these plugins first.

How much would the custom pluing cost me?

Hello Stephan,
currently we do not offer custom code developing but I can point you on https://codeable.io/ where you could ask for it.

All the best,
