Thanks to the help of stack overflow I was able to make my filter work(<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65347618/ajax-filter-for-wordpress">Ajax filter for wordpress</a>) but now I want to add a search input that search the titles of my posts (a custom post type called 'Contratistas').
So I have a few questions:
<ol>
<li>My form for my filter has POST, but the search (i've seen examples) always has GET, so, should I have two separete forms? If so, is there a way for submiting my search without a button? this is my code:</li>
</ol>
As you can see i have two buttons but i only want the last one ('Filtrar')
<ol start="2">
<li>I have no idea how to implement the search with the filters so that i can put my results in the same fashion as the one i get from the dropdowns.</li>
</ol>
Here is my filter:
<pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override">
And my JQuery:
Any help or guidance will be very appreciated. Thanks
