Wp Gridbuilder cwicly quiry filter

General

Hi
1- I’m trying to set wp gridbuilder to filter cwicly post query .
according to there documentation.

we need to add the query argument wp_grid_builder set to wpgb-content as following

$the_query_1 = new WP_Query(
	[
		'post_type'       => 'post',
		'posts_per_page'  => 10,
		'wp_grid_builder' => 'wpgb-content',
	]
);

the problem that the code tab in query editor is read only so I can’t add the query argument .

how can I solve the issue please , a hook or a if no ability to hook by a function then where to find the code in cwicly to edit .

2- I couldn’t find a way to exclude child taxonomy from taxonomy term block or even the query block while loop the taxoomies .
is there an option or a trick to do that.
thanks

any help please, or should I contact the support directly.

Hi

Why do you want to use WP Grid? Is there any specific reason? cwicly has in built Filter block.

Hello @battarov,

I’ve seen your post and will be taking a closer look in the coming days with - hopefully - a solution in the coming updates.

Please bear with me and thanks for your patience.

there is no date picker filter in cwicly and it is important for my project to filter by date .

I have asked to add the date filter in cwicly a month ago but maybe its not that easy or there are some more urgent features to implement by the team.

Solved by Gridbuilder support as following by adding [wpgb_query id=“wpgb-content”] shortcode in a shortcode block exactly above the query block , that will eliminate the need of adding ‘wp_grid_builder’ => ‘wpgb-content’, to the query argument in php.

also we must add “wpgb-content” as a css class for the query template element , and the grid name in facet shortcode to be the same wpgb-content.

it may help if anyone search the forum for wp gridbuilder integration with cwicly .
thanks.

Did you get this to work? I am actually looking for this same solution as we speak. It did not work on my install.

I also went with Gridbuilder after 2 weeks of trying to set up Cwicly filters to work how I needed. I try to resist feeling like it was wasted time, although my client would disagree. I see it more as testing to limits of what’s possible now. And, for my needs, it was too big of a compromise.

Gridbuilder does one thing (well, maybe 2-3 things) really well. They allow you to build robust filters for WP queries. I’ve never been a fan of wanting to be all things to all people. Cwicly is an amazing tool and Louis has been unbelievably ambitious, but I don’t want Cwicly to try to build all manner of complex functionality within it.

The filters can use some refinement, and I’ll be making a separate post with some feature requests, but it’s a lot of work to get all these things right, and the inevitable support issues that will arise if/when it causes conflicts elsewhere.

yes it worked with no issues , I will list the process:

1- add “wpgb-content” with no qoutes as a css class of the query template element.
2- in the facet shortcode change the grid number to wpgb-content , the facet short code shal be ```
[wpgb_facet id=“2” grid=“wpgb-content”] , exactly the same , just the id of the facet in this shortcode to be changed , or you can use the facet gutenberg block and add wpgb-content in the second field ( the grid name ).
3- add this shortcode [wpgb_query id=“wpgb-content”] above the query block you need to filter.
4- you must disable any pagination in cwicly query block , and instead add a wp gridbuilder paginatuon facet out of the query template element .
5- now just enable the option to detect custom queries in wp gridbuilder setting.

6- in case your page have accordion element you may face issue where accordion not working after adding gridbuilder facets to the page , to solve that add this to your custom css:
body .cc-acdc {
display: flex;
}
