   Hello,

   I would like to have a search page similar to that one http://www.bermudarentals.com/search/
   I tried to use few plug-in, but it doesn't work as they search only post .

   I am trying to get a similar search page which search tags or category in portfolio only.

   I you have any idea how to sort it out....in that way or suggest me with another way to get a similar result .

   Thanks
   Fred

   A very big Thanks to the support team.

   I really appreciate you took few seconds of your precious time to inform me that you have a look to my question, but unfortunately cannot help.

   I will follow your advice and learn about php, css and other things I do not have a clue about and come back to you with more technical terms.

   My sincere apologies for being a such rude dumbass

   Warm Regards
   Fred

   Hi Fred,

   My sincere apologies. The site you are mentioned above uses this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-custom-fields-search/ However, that plugin isn't updated for 2 years now. I'm not sure with its compatability with the theme and I don't know how to use it, but you might want to try to use that plugin.

   Hi Ismael

   Thanks for your answer

   That issue is really important to me so please let's try once more and if no solution I give up.

   By default tags for portfolio does not exist on this theme so thanks to Dude:
   I open up includes\admin\register-portfolio.php and replace:

   'show_in_nav_menus'=> false,

   with

   'show_in_nav_menus'=> false,
   'taxonomies'=> array('post_tag'),

   At that point I can add tags to portfolio. I also used a plug-in to add tag to pages.

   I add 1 post, 1 page and 1 portfolio with the tag 'fred' . Then I tried different plug-in include the one you mentioned and also few tag cloud plug-in. I also tried with different version of wp, disable other plug in....

   Most work fine and show result for page and post, but no one show result for portfolio, that is the real problem !

   Regards

   Fred
