How to Make Custom Search Filters in EMD?

Example 1: Make Gender as Custom Filter

Use this in your shortcode: emd_gender="Gender,radio"

The first part is the label that appears and presents your new filter, the 2nd part “radio” will make the filter choices as radio buttons.

Example 2: Make Country as Custom Filter

Use this in your shortcode: emd_country="Country,dropdown"

This example makes Country as custom filter and output the filter as “dropdown” choices.

Example 3: Make City Custom Field as Filter

Use this in your shortcode: emd_city="City"

If you do not set radio or dropdown for filter, it will be a default search input/text. You can make unlimited custom search filters using this method, including custom fields you created by using this pattern. emd_{custom_field}=”Label,type” in your emd shortcode.
