Help with showing correct posts on load

Hi,

Try turning on the auto-populate feature with these settings (empty phrase): https://i.imgur.com/g7Sl4NE.png
That should very likely do the trick, by triggering the search with the selected default options.

Thanks! I just tried that page, and it works on my end, the search triggers and enables with the default filters configuration, see video: https://youtu.be/tq619ASHYRY

Oh, I see what you mean now.

The only way to do that is via custom coding. The filter value needs to be conditionally set via the API.

Try adding this custom code to the functions.php in your theme/child theme directory. Before editing, please make sure to have a full site back-up just in case!

add_filter('asp_pre_get_front_filters', 'asp_change_tax_filter', 10, 2);
function asp_change_tax_filter($filters, $type) {
  $taxonomies = 'qld_regions'; // Comma separated list of taxonomies

  // --- DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BELOW ---
  if ( is_archive() ) {
      $taxonomies = explode(',', $taxonomies);
      foreach ( $taxonomies as $taxonomy ) {
          $taxonomy = trim($taxonomy);
          foreach ($filters as $k => &$filter) {
              $term_id = get_queried_object()->term_id;
              if ($type == 'taxonomy' && $filter->data['taxonomy'] == $taxonomy) {
                  $filter->unselect();
                  $filter->select($term_id);
              }
          }
      }
  }
  return $filters;
}

Unfortunately I cannot guarantee that this is going to work at all, but it should be a good start.

You are very welcome, and thanks for the kind words 🙂
