Low Search to filter entries by relationship field
We would like to filter a list of entries by a relationship field. The entries are related to an "author" channel. We would like to display only entries by that author when visiting a url such as: http://domain.com/entries/author/auth...
In our case the "author-name" is the same as the url_title for the authors channel entry. Here is our code now:
{exp:low_search:results channel="activities" query="{segment_3}" child:activity_author="{segment_3}" orderby="entry_date"}
{title}
{/exp:low_search:results}
When I remove the child:activity_author...all the entries are displayed. When I add it back, nothing shows up. What are we missing here?

If {segment_3} is not an encoded query, then remove the query="{segment_3}" parameter.
Otherwise, try and turn on template debugging and copy/paste all lines that mention Low Search here. That can provide you with some insight.

It looks like it is coming up with entries, but they arent showing up for some reason:

Then the entries are probably negated by default parameters like status (which defaults to 'open' only) or show_expired/show_future_entries (which both default to 'no').

I ensured the status was included in the tag, and made sure the entries weren't expired or future entries. I also removed the stash wrapper template in case that could be causing problems. Still no results are showing, but it appears its finding the correct entry_id's just not displaying the entries. What else can we do to troubleshoot?

Just figured it out, I needed to add dynamic="no" to the results tag.

Okay! Just wondering, what version of EE and LS are you using?
