 * Hello. Very nice plugin even if I can’t completely use it with all options. I’m
   using [Avada theme ](https://themeforest.net/item/avada-responsive-multipurpose-theme/2833226?s_rank=1)
   and it has a portfolio section. I tried all settings but BTF filters don’t automatically
   show in the portfolio page, but only if added with the widget. I deactivated 
   the Avada portfolio filter widget option when creating the page, but no luck.
   I hope it is only for a simple option I’m mistaking, so I’m sending you some 
   screenshots to let you see how I set it all. My site is actually on a temporary
   hosting installation so the new site version is not public. If the screenshots
   are not sufficient, please let me know, and I will send you privately the IP 
   for adding to your hosts file, so you can see the site too. Thank you so much.

 * Hi Kriss,
 * Unfortunately I’m not able to help out with theme specifik implementations since
   this is a free plugin I just develop during spare time 🙂
 * However I’m guessing Avada does not use the regular post loop. The automagic 
   insertion option relies on a hook that WordPress fires when a query loop is run.
   In the case of BTF it checks if the query loop is also the default post archive
   loop (to make sure it’s not inserting itself in the wrong loops).
 * So I think you have to either use the widget or place the do_action snippet yourself
   in the template file in your theme.
    `<?php do_action( 'show_beautiful_filters');?
   >`

 * Hi Jonathan. Thank you for your answer. I thought this issue was already solved
   for others, as Avada has 370,000 users. I tried to add the snippet but don’t 
   know exactly in which file it has to be added, so it broke my site. Could you
   suggest me how to use it? I’d like to use it so much! 😉

 * Well, it’s not impossible that there are others using Avada and BTF but I’ve 
   not come across anyone requesting help for it 😉
 * Have you read the Help section in the plugin settings?
    It should be added above
   the loop in archive.php or archive-cptslug.php (cptslug would be the slug of 
   the post type you want the filter on). It’s also possible to set the cptslug 
   manually in the call `<?php do_action( 'show_beautiful_filters', 'cptslug' );?
   >`
 * Just placing this in your theme would not be able to break your site. Unless 
   you place `<?php do_action( 'show_beautiful_filters' ); ?>` inside already existing
   <?php ?> tags. If so you should just paste `do_action( 'show_beautiful_filters');`.

 * Avada: you lucky guy…
    So hard to add the do_action in Avada theme, as templates
   structures are not so clear and I can’t detect which one is the right one, that’s
   what I already tried with no luck. But probably there’s a simply way to get this,
   [please have a look to this image](https://www.dropbox.com/s/6dufynwn3jng60k/SS-BTF-HORIZONTAL.jpg?dl=0)
   and that’s exactly what I need: I’m using a page builder so I can create a top
   section above the single portfolio content and add there your filter as a widget.
   What I’m asking you is some css rules to display it horizontally. Thank you very
   much for your help. [portfolio page](http://www.cante.it/bibliotecante/)

 * Haha.. I don’t do purchased themes. Always develop from a barebone theme and 
   use curated plugins and code our own if needed. 🙂
 * Ok so, I’m not sure what/if you need any more help? Seems you got it working 
   with the widget? I was thinking of adding a shortcode to BTF but with Gutenberg
   knocking on the door it feels like a dumb idea.

 * Hi Jonathan.
    The image with horizontal filter I sent you in my previous mail
   is made with Photoshop … to let you see what I mean. I can create a section with
   Elementor and add your plugin as a widget, but it will display vertically, while
   I need it horizontally. Could you suggest me how to reach this with some css 
   rules? I’m not so advanced and can’t do it myself. As the shortcode it would 
   be sooooooooo useful 😉 always if horizontal layout would be possible too. Not
   sure if Gutenberg is so close, considering all the problems encountered, while
   surely many users are already using Elementor, Visual Composer, Site Origin, 
   King Composer, Beaver Builder and many other pages builders and could actually
   enjoy your “horizontal” filter. Please let me know if I could use your plugin
   horizontally in some way, it would be precious for my site. Thanx a lot

 * Hi,
 * You can get this done with some basic CSS really.
    Something like this might 
   do the trick:
 *     ```
       .beautiful-taxonomy-filters-select-wrap {
       display:flex;
       }
       .beautiful-taxonomy-filters-widget.widget .beautiful-taxonomy-filters-tax {
       width: auto;
       }
       ```

    Thank you very much
   for your help: that code did the trick! but the filters wrapper is not responsive
   and the search button should be in the same row of the other elements, I tried
   to get it but no luck. Could you help me again? Thanx a lot
 * [@jonathan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonathan/): so are you going 
   to create the shortcode? even if Gutenberg will arrive, the shortcode would allow
   so many ways to use it. Thanx
