    I am using two checkboxes in my searchform:

    <input type="checkbox" name="cat" value="8" /><label>Category 8</label>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input type="checkbox" name="cat" value="9" /><label>Category 9</label>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

    When I submit search, url looks this way:

    /??s=searchedterm&cat=8&cat=9

    But I need to search in 8 AND 9 categories, so I need this omma separated values in url:

    /??s=searchedterm&cat=8,9

    How can I change amperstand type of url to comma separated?

    Thanks

    First, you have to rename the second checkbox, it can’t be ‘cat’. Name them ‘cat1’ and ‘cat2’. 

    add_filter('query_vars', 'more_cats');
function more_cats($qv) {
    $qv[] = 'cat1';
    $qv[] = 'cat2';
    return $qv;
}

add_filter('relevanssi_modify_wp_query', 'organize_cats');
function organize_cats($query) {
    $cats = array();
    if (isset($query->query_vars['cat1'])) $cats[] = $query->query_vars['cat1'];
    if (isset($query->query_vars['cat2'])) $cats[] = $query->query_vars['cat2'];
    $cats = implode(',', $cats);
    $query->query_vars['cats'] = $cats;
    return $query;
}

    Notice I’m using ‘cats’ instead of ‘cat’ there – that works better with Relevanssi.
