Hi David,
Thanks very much, that worked perfectly. I’ll re-visit the php option eventually, but I’m really happy with how it’s working at the moment. I’ve tagged over 2000 photos with your plugin so far and have thousands more to go! I’ll be taking the site live in the next couple of weeks hopefully, so will forward you the link when it’s done!

Cheers!
Chris

Hi again David,
I’m finally getting a chance to re-visit this project. Thanks again for your ongoing support!

At some stage I hope to sit down and learn php, but for now it’s a bit daunting to do what you suggest above. Instead, is it possible to simply have my search form on one page, and the search results displayed on another? So when I someone clicks ‘go’ it takes them to the new page with the gallery of selected photos. I’m sure I read how to do this somewhere but can’t find it for the life of me!

I managed to solve this…as simple as disabling the Redirection plugin.

Thanks for your reply.

I’m doing a major upgrade to the site so have it in maintenance mode at the moment. If entirely necessary I can lift this temporarily, though I’d prefer no too.

I’ve restored the original permalink and re-ticked the parent page. That didn’t fix it however.

I’m using the Yoast WordPress SEO plugin. That could be affecting things possibly? I’d be reluctant to disable it as my business relies entirely on my good search engine ranking!

How do I clear server cache (using bluehost)? Clearing browser cache didn’t fix it.

I noticed that in Chrome when I click reload, it alternates between the urls sitename/photos/portfolio and sitename/portfolio. Not sure why it does that.

Thanks again! It’s working nicely for me now. I look forward to the multiple selection implementation too.

One other quick question…
I’ve got two galleries on one page, the first, ‘Latest Photos’ is a paginated gallery of all photos, sorted by date descending. The second gallery, ‘Search Photos’, has the search form as above, and is initially blank as I’ve used the ‘AND’ tax_operator to only retrieve photos that match the selected tags.

Is it at all possible to combine these into a single gallery? So all photos are shown initially, and are then filtered by certain tags. Essentially, I’d like all photos (or all tags) to be shown for a start, before being filtered by tags using the ‘AND’ tax_operator.

If it’s not possible, is there any way to hide pagination on the search gallery until the results are returned?

Cheers!

Brilliant, that looks like it will work perfectly.

One more quick question, is it possible to select multiple tags from different drop-down boxes? Is it as simple as repeating that select loop? Or repeating the form and somehow placing the ‘submit’ bit after it?

Thanks very much for your quick and detailed response. It looks like a great plugin.
