 * I was working with the support for Search & Filter PRO on my client’s website
   and asked the following: Is there a way to show the # of results for the search
   at the top of the results page? It’s already like that on the live site but is
   not doing it anymore on the dev site.
 * Their Answer: At the moment, it is not possible with the Custom Layouts integrations.
   However, this is on our to-do lists and our developers might add this feature
   in the future.
 * ————–
 * Do you have any idea why this is not possible using the Custom Layout for the
   search results page?

 * Hey [@emgb_520](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emgb_520/)
 * Essentially we need to create an element that displays the number of results 
   as text / a sentence.
 * So it’s a feature we need to add (that S&F would hook into).
 * There might be a way to get this info to display if you’re happy with a bit of
   PHP coding? I’ll start having a think about this to make sure it is possible…!
 * Thanks

 * I am comfortable placing some PHP somewhere, if that is what you mean. 🙂
 * Just let me know what to place and where.
 * Thank you in advance!

 * Hey [@emgb_520](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emgb_520/)
 * I didn’t get a chance to look at this yet – hopefully will be able to do over
   the course of this week.

 * We’ve found some code we’ve written for the Elementor posts widget so we’re just
   trying to repurpose that.
 * As this is a bit of custom coding its got pushed below a few other priorities
   for our support team but we’ll hopefully provide a solution today / tomorrow.
 * Thanks

 * Hey [@emgb_520](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emgb_520/)
 * So to update, not great news unfortunately – we couldn’t get the other code we
   had written working with Custom Layouts (which we were hoping to use, to save
   time).
 * We need to make some changes to this plugin to even enable a “hacky” workaround.
 * This needs a good bit more time to figure out and some planning – something I’ll
   need to do myself – however I’m officially away from tomorrow for a couple of
   weeks.
 * After that, it will be a case of prioritising our workload – and I’m afraid I
   can’t guarantee a swift turnaround on this one…
 * Sorry the news is not better right now – a full implementation of this feature
   has been added to the roadmap.
 * Thanks
