    Hello,

    I have a custom post type to add projects to a company. So the user adds a company and then adds projects connected to their company as a custom post type which works perfectly.

    The issue is that the users are having a hard time searching for their companies — especially on mobile devices. For example if you search, the company comes up but you can’t see it. You have to know to select the “Select Business” or then you won’t see the company.

    If there is a spacing error then you won’t see it. For example: “Ryken Construction Company” and “Rykenconstructioncompany” won’t come up unless the word is perfect.

    Solutions?
    1) Is there a way to auto fill this field based on the user??

    2) If I turn off “Link your company” what is going to happen to all the projects we have already linked to the companies?

    Thank you,

    Matt

    Hi,

    the name must be spelled correctly… and to achieve something like that, you’d need a customization.
    That’s really not possible out of the box.

    I’m not 100% sure how to answer the second question, so I asked to a developer to double check and let us know.

    Thanks

    If you just type “Ryken” then it should fill it in.

    #2 I think it will just stop showing it but the DB info remains, i’ll double check with Giri.

    Hi Matt,

    Stiofan is correct. It will stop showing in the frontend. But the data would still remain in the DB. So if you turn on that feature again, data will be visible in the frontend.

    Hope that helps

    Thanks
