Hi there,

Thank you for the response. I’m a little disappointed though, I would have assumed this was a core function. At this point, I cannot use standard wordpress categories as there is no way for the user to filter them. On the other hand, I cannot use search terms as categories as this would be terrible for SEO. Google will not index search result pages, I need actual categories.

Currently, if the user visits a category, they can only start an entirely new search and then filter those results. I want the user to be able to visit a category and filter the results within that category. I feel that’s a fairly standard feature for any website. A customer does not go into a category and do an entirely new search.

Thanks very much,
Paul

Hi there,

I just wanted to let you know that I’ve resolved the issue. It seems to have been a theme based search bar within the main menu that was causing all the problems. All is now fine having since removed this.

Thanks for the help,

Paul

Hi there,

Thank you for the response. I tried the shortcode you provided but it’s simply not working as expected. I’ve tried every possible combination but there is a different issue each time. As soon as I set ”Search settings position” to block and set them to ”visible by default” it breaks. It also does not display correctly on mobile.

I simply want to put the settings on the left hand side of the search bar but it’s proving to be impossible. It seems to be an issue with the shortcode, it does not work correctly when ”block” is set rather than hover.

Thanks very much,
Paul
