Sometimes there is necessary to hack/hook native theme OR any plugin code to make it works (filterable) with MDTF, as that shortcode uses its own WP_Query request. To make any shortcode works with MDTF do next steps:
- create page and drop your portfolio shortcode (for example) there
- in MDTF widget/shortcode options set "Results output page link" link to that new page (created above) with your folio shortcode inside
- find the file where your portfolio shortcode PHP code placed
- find the code where that folio shortcode do WP_Query and after that founded code drop next PHP code:123456789if(class_exists('MetaDataFilter') AND MetaDataFilter::is_page_mdf_data()){$_REQUEST['mdf_do_not_render_shortcode_tpl'] = true;$_REQUEST['mdf_get_query_args_only'] = true;do_shortcode('[meta_data_filter_results]');$args = $_REQUEST['meta_data_filter_args'];global $wp_query;$wp_query=new WP_Query($args);$_REQUEST['meta_data_filter_found_posts']=$wp_query->found_posts;}
If you not understood or simply not familiar with the code, I can do this - but it is a custom work.
If you do not know where to look it and as it working with code - you can order custom work for hooking your wp theme code for fee 20 USD (its will be necessary your PayPal email for invoice + ftp access to the site with short description which shortcode you want to hook/hack)
