Filter and Search

Question

I am working on my site which is a WordPress based site. It is a sweepstakes site well winprizesonline.com is the site which inspired me most. Now I want a dynamic search like that site on my site but I have no idea how and where to add code.

Like here; http://www.winprizesonline.com/new/contests/ you can see the 3 search boxs, Sort By:, Entry:, Next Entry: I want same search box with same function of filtering and search. Anyone know its code and can tell me where to put it on my site. I am using DirectoryPress theme for my site. Please I need its answer urgently.

Answer 1

I don't believe there's anything automatic for what you're looking for, no. I built a similar functionality for sorting products with dimensions, but this was all custom as I did not find anything that suited my needs. You'd need to look into pre_get_posts using $_GET requests.

Answer 2

Query Multiple Taxonomies can do this for you. You'd need to organize your posts into taxonomies and then use the widget to display the UI for filtering.
