Hi, it’s a site of a costumer. So I can’t give you the login. Isn’t there another way you can figure this out? The only thing I did is copy the form and used that shortcode on a different spot. So in my opinion it should work.

Don’t worry, just mentioning it so you can solve it! Thought it would be useful.

Well, the styling was changed all of the sudden, because the html structure was changed. Also, now every file isn’t uploading, because the file size is “too big”. But I’ve set the file size to 20mb.

I found this out when I created a new tag in another form. It suddenly was completely different from the forms that actually worked with this plugin. Don’t know where it went wrong.

My current functions.php looks like this:

function misha_filter_function(){

  if ( ! array_key_exists('newsfilter', $_POST)) exit;
  $tag_id = (int) $_POST['newsfilter'];

  $tax_query = array(
   array(
      'taxonomy' => 'post_tag',
      'field' => 'term_id',
      'terms' => $tag_id,
     ),
  );

  $args = array(
    // any other query criteria here
    'tax_query' => $tax_query,
  );

	$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

	if( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
		while( $the_query->have_posts() ): $the_query->the_post(); ?>
    <!-- post -->
    <div class="news col-md-6">
      <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>">
        <?php $thumb = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'full' );?>
        <div class="featered" style="background-image:url('<?php echo $thumb['0'];?>');"></div>
        <div class="title">
          <p class="date"><?php echo get_the_date();?></p>
          <?php add_filter( 'the_title', 'max_title_length');?>
          <h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
        </div>
      </a>
    </div>

		<?php endwhile;
		wp_reset_postdata(); else :
  		echo 'Geen resultaten, probeer het opnieuw.';
  	endif;
  	die();
  }

add_action('wp_ajax_myfilter', 'misha_filter_function');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_myfilter', 'misha_filter_function');

Thank you for your reply. My php knowledge is quite minimal. Often I apply “simpler” code to my WordPress websites. So it sounds quite silly from me if I say I do not get what you are explaining. Any chance there is another way so a php noob like me can understand?

My current form selection looks like this:

<form action="<?php echo site_url() ?>/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" method="POST" id="newsfilter">
  <?php
		if( $terms = $terms = get_terms( array('term_taxonomy_id' => array(87, 88, 89), 'post_type' => 'post' ) ) ): // to make it simple I use default categories
			echo '<select name="newsfilter"><option>Filteren op:</option>';
			foreach ( $terms as $term ) :
				echo '<option value="' . $term->term_id . '">' . $term->name . '</option>'; // ID of the category as the value of an option
			endforeach;
			echo '</select>';
		endif;
	?>
	<button id="filterbutton">Filter</button>
	<input type="hidden" name="action" value="myfilter">
</form>

Yeah I’m aware of that.

I’m sorry I respond this late, because I fixed the problem.
I followed a tutorial and swapped the order of the comments and the textarea. Swapping them back did the trick. Thanks anyway!
