link to dropdown item

[jholder]

would it be possible to link to a page that selects an item in the dropdown category list?

we’d like to link from our menu to the shop page but with a specific category selected

https://sitelabsdirect.com/shop/

Hi,

Actually yes – with some additional argumetns in the URL. It requires some fiddling, but it is possible. Please check this knowledge base, it will explain how.

does this apply to category selection?

[Ernest Marcinko]

Yes – it applies to any filter within ajax search pro, including taxonomy terms, categories, custom fields etc..

hello,

could you look at this link:

it is linking to the dropdown selection but you’ll notice the selection is not correctly filtering. it actually is displaying all products still despite the dropdown being changed

https://sitelabsdirect.com/shop/?p_asid=4&p_asp_data=1&termset%5Bproduct_cat%5D%5B%5D=36&customset%5B%5D=product&asp_gen%5B%5D=excerpt&asp_gen%5B%5D=content&asp_gen%5B%5D=title&filters_initial=0&filters_changed=1&qtranslate_lang=0&woo_currency=USD&current_page_id=38

you can test this by going to sitelabsdirect.com/shop and selecting a category, (it will show correctly) however if you use that link or click a link in the menu it will change the category but not the products in the category.

Can you please update to version 4.22.1? There were improvements made in this area, and the URL should automatically update when using the Elementor filters. (no option needs to be changed)
Let me know if anything changes in this behavior. It is a fairly new feature, so it is possible some issues may occur.

Ernest,

I found that we used the wrong portion of code and not the elementor one.

Now it is working!

You cannot access this content.
