Do I have to have Categories/Taxonomy?

I’m not sure to understand what you need, but if you want to search several Custom Post Types with the same form, I think you can override the /templates/acps-results_loop.php by adding something like :

$this->acps_args[‘post_type’] = array(‘customtype1’, ‘customtype2’, ‘customtype3’);

before this line : $acps_results = new WP_Query( $this->acps_args );

What I want is to NOT have the bottom drop-down of categories at all, but only the Search Box. And have it search all categories only.

Right now there’s a Search box above the “Select a Category” drop-down. I want to get rid of the Category drop-down.

Thanks

In the /core/widgets/acps_widgets.php or /core/shortcodes/acps_shortcodes.php file, comment the if( $acps_multiple_terms ){...}else{...} statement and it should only display the text search box ??

Thanks. That’s the same area I went in and changed the “value” for the default drop-down to read “Search All…]

I’ll test it out and let you know if I have any problems.

Thanks again.

(Might be a good option to add to a later release?)

You’re welcome!

Btw I’m not the plugin’s author, but Shane is currently working on ACPS 2.0 and the new version should be more customizable.

Thanks again Thomas! I am indeed working hard on 2.0 as fast as I possibly can. Let me know if you need anymore help in this thread and I’ll get back to you sooner next time =D 2.0 should have oodles more functionality which is why my support on the current version is lacking a bit!
