Reset categories when using the search field

[art2media]

Hi,

I have a search set up like in the image attached.
Now if I deselect most categories and then search for a term that is part of the deselected categories I get no results. Which is to be expected.

But we need the categories to reset to “all selected” when the user types something in the search field. Is that possible? I guess there is a way using the API. Something like “if search term not empty reset filter”. I didn’t find anything, can you help?

We use live trigger with Minimal character count 0. Just in case it’s important.

Thanks!

Hi,

Well, actually this might be possible via a minor custom code snippet. There is an API function to reset the filters, so ideally I would trigger that when the search input gets focused.

Try adding this code to the functions.php file in your theme/child theme directory – make sure to have a full server back-up first for safety. For more details you can check the safe coding guidelines.

add_action('wp_footer', 'asp_footer_custom_script', 999999);
function asp_footer_custom_script() {
	?>
	<script>
	document.querySelectorAll('input.orig').forEach(function(el){
		el.addEventListener('focus', function(){
			ASP.api(el.closest('.asp_m').dataset['id'], 'resetSearchFilters');
		});
	});
	</script>
	<?php
}
