Results Page

After a visitor completes the last step, the guide shows a filtered list of matching content. The Results tab in the Guide Editor controls what this page looks like — layout, content display, pagination, and messaging. Click the Results icon in the left menu to configure it.

Target post type

Before configuring results, make sure you’ve set the correct post type in the Settings tab under Basic Settings. The Target Post Type dropdown lists all public post types registered on your site — Posts, Pages, WooCommerce Products, and any custom post types. This determines which content the guide filters and displays. If you use the AAWP plugin, Amazon Products also appear as an option.

The Filter Combination setting (also in Settings) controls how multiple filters interact: AND means all filters must match (intersection), OR means any filter can match (union). Defaults to AND.

Layout

Two layout modes are available:

  • Grid (default) — Results displayed as cards in a multi-column grid. You can set the number of columns per breakpoint:
    • Desktop: 2, 3 (default), or 4 columns
    • Tablet: 1, 2 (default), or 3 columns
    • Mobile: 1 (default) or 2 columns
  • List — Results stacked vertically in a single-column list. Column settings are hidden in this mode.

Results per page

How many results to show before pagination kicks in. Accepts any number from 1 to 100. Defaults to 12.

Pagination style

  • Load More Button (default) — A button below the results that appends the next batch when clicked. Text changes to “Loading…” during the request.
  • Numbered Pages — Classic pagination with Previous / “Page X of Y” / Next buttons. Replaces the current results with the new page.
  • Infinite Scroll — Automatically loads more results as the visitor scrolls down.

Content

Featured image

Enabled by default. When active, each result card shows the post’s featured image at the top. Choose an aspect ratio to control the image shape:

  • Square (1:1) — Best for product photos or icons.
  • Standard (4:3) (default) — A balanced, versatile ratio.
  • Wide (16:9) — Landscape-oriented, good for blog posts or banners.
  • Photo (3:2) — The classic photo proportion.

Disable the checkbox to hide images entirely — useful when your content doesn’t have featured images set.

Meta data

Off by default. Enable Show meta data to display custom fields below each result’s title. Click Add Meta Field to configure which fields to show. Each field has:

  • Label — The text shown to visitors (e.g. “Price”, “Rating”, “Brand”).
  • Source — Which data field to pull from. The dropdown is grouped by type: Post Fields, Taxonomies, WooCommerce, ACF, AAWP, and Custom Meta. It uses the same filter sources available in step configuration.

You can add as many meta fields as needed. Each one renders as a label–value row below the result title. Boolean values are formatted as “Yes”/”No”, arrays are comma-separated, and empty values are hidden automatically.

Call to action

Every result has a clickable element that links to the full post. Configure how it appears:

  • CTA Label — The button or link text. Defaults to “View Details”.
  • CTA Style:
    • Button (default) — A styled button at the bottom of the card.
    • Link — A text link instead of a button.
    • Whole Card Clickable — The entire result card becomes a link. No separate button is shown.

For WooCommerce products, the link goes to the product page. For AAWP products, the link opens the Amazon URL in a new tab.

Summary & messages

Selection summary

Enabled by default. Shows a recap of the visitor’s selections above the results — so they can see what they chose without scrolling back through the steps.

No results message

The text shown when no posts match the visitor’s filters. Defaults to “No results match your criteria.” Customize it to match your site’s tone or suggest actions (e.g. “Try broadening your selections”).

Start Over button

Enabled by default. Adds a button below the results that resets the guide back to step 1 so the visitor can try different selections. You can customize the button label (defaults to “Start Over”) or disable it entirely.

What each result card shows

On the frontend, each result renders with these elements (from top to bottom):

  1. Featured image — If enabled, displayed at the configured aspect ratio.
  2. Title — The post title, always shown.
  3. Price — For WooCommerce products, shows sale price and original price if applicable.
  4. Meta fields — If enabled, a grid of label–value rows for each configured field.
  5. CTA — A button, link, or the card itself, linking to the full post.

Above the results, a header shows the total count (e.g. “24 Results Found”). Below them, the pagination control and Start Over button appear.
