Custom Post Type and Posts Together

[djmtype]

Using the following, a custom post type and posts together doesn't seem to work. It only works if I use one or the other.

[wp_live_search type="posts,festival-event" multi="true"]

[djmtype]

Also, I'm using WP Rest API v1.2.3 because v2 didn't work.

works fine here. same setup. make sure to use a correct post-type slug: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type special caracters are not allowed, so festival-event is wrong. make it festival_event or something like that.

@schliflo Whoops, the rewrite name is festival-event, but my slug is festival_event. Regardless, the issue persists when using [wp_live_search multi="true" type="festival_event,posts"].

Even using your example from the documentation fails, too, with the same kind of error.

[wp_live_search multi="true" type="page,posts"]

However, this works on its own: [wp_live_search type="festival_event"] So does this: [wp_live_search type="posts"]

The following also work as intended: [wp_live_search] and [wp_live_search type="page"].

For some reason it's unable to return more than 1 post type.

The are no other errors on my site, using WP 4.2.4 with WP Rest API v1.2.3

I'll set up a fresh install of WP, default theme, and test further if needed.

Actually, I have a local install of WP 4.3 with WP Rest API v1.2.3 and your plugin installed, no other plugins activated with TwentyFifteen theme.

From your doc's example, using, [wp_live_search multi="true" type="posts,page"]

http://spinline.dyndns.org:8888/sandbox/home-2/ Returns an error:

Make sure that you have custom permalinks enabled, which is required for wp api to work: https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/issues/69

[djmtype]

They are, always. Set to post name.

So i've set myself up a fresh wp instance to test it. ran into the same problem as you, because i copied your shortcode. [wp_live_search type="posts"] is simply wrong. It should be [wp_live_search type="post"] without the 's'. This probably works, because it defaults to 'post' somehow in single mode. In multi mode you get an incorrect string. Using [wp_live_search multi="true" type="festival_event,post"] should work ;)

Good to know! FYI, In your documentation, there are a couple places where 'posts' needs to be changed to 'post'. Sorry, I never thought to try that. I was so focused by example I wasn't thinking clearly. Thanks for your hard work! On Sep 14, 2015 3:33 AM, "schliflo" notifications@github.com wrote:

Regardless, thanks @schliflo for your time.
