Hi,

Please send more details about the issue, which fields would you like to add to the form? There’s no booking functionality in ExpertHive by default, so there are no from/to fields, but if you have the Bookings extension, you can enable the Dates search field in settings.

Hi,

All these fields are currently available in the search bar. I can see them in your screenshot as well. As for the Date, you can add it using this doc: How to enable the date availability search - HivePress Help Center. Also, you can add all other custom fields using listing attributes and marking them as Searchable, please check this doc: How to add listing attributes - HivePress Help Center

​I hope this is helpful to you.

Hi

Thank you for your answer,

i don t understand where you can see all this attribute on my searchbar.
please check my website. jiimara.com and the screenshot attached

i can add only these attribute on the searchbar, there is no others option to add more. see attached.

i created two others attributes and marked them as searchable

but they don t appear in the search bar

i want to have a search bar with 4 felds. i sent an image last time. i can attache it as well here.
for the attribute date, if i understand your last message properly, i have to buy a new extension “booking”, please clarify it for me.
Thank you

Hi,

In your screenshot, Location is the Destination, All Categories is the Categories. As for the Date field, you need the Bookings extension for this, as it is a function of this extension. As for other fields, please disable third-party plugins and customizations (if there are any) and check if this issue persists. If you use a caching plugin, make sure that caching is disabled for logged-in users.

Hi,

As I have already clarified in previous posts, your site currently has 2 fields in the search bar Awesome Screenshot :

1. Location.
2. All Categories.

You can add another destination field, but note that it will not work with the location field; it will be a separate field. You don’t see these fields because they are linked to categories, and they are marked filterable, not searchable as shown on the screenshot: Awesome Screenshot. Select one of the categories and click search, then they will be displayed in the filter form, or go to Listings > Attributes > and uncheck all categories on the right sidebar.

Regarding the searching by dates, as I clarified in the previous post, you need the Bookings extension for this, and then everything will work correctly. Without the Bookings extension, this will require a custom implementation.
