    We want users to be able to search for events by “Age”. I have experimented by using custom fields which certainly feels like it could do the job, but users can’t then filter by a custom field. What would be the best way to go about this?

    Hi James,

    Great question!

    Might it be viable for you to use categories or tags for this purpose?

    If not you might need to consider a custom filter implementation: thankfully, Filter Bar has been built in a way that facilitates all kinds of customizations including the addition of completely new filters, so doing so is readily achievable.

    That said, such a customization is something we’d really need to leave in your hands (if you find categories and tags are unsuitable for the task) and you would definitely need a fairly good grounding in WordPress development to drive it forward.

    I hope that helps!

    HI Barry,

    is there any documentation on customizing the Filter Bar, similar to the Themer’s Guide perhaps?

    thanks!

    Hi Peter – you might want to start by checking out the following:

    They don’t quite parallel the Themer’s Guide, but may give you a few insights (and of course if you want to suggest other areas we should cover, please do post a request on UserVoice 🙂 ).

    As a sidenote, if you have any further questions please do create a new topic of your own – wherever possible we try to stick to one user and one issue per forum topic, even if your question/interest seems very close to that of the original poster.

    Thanks!
