Custom Taxonomy Clean URL

    I see that this plugin generates clean urls such as

    www.yourdomain.com/category/uncategorized/?s=searchterm&tag=shoes&customtaxonomy=customvalue

    I have several custom taxonomy filters in my archive page. According to the example above, the url I should get when I select customtax = val should be

    www.mydomain.com/myArchive/?customtax=val

    However, I think my custom taxonomies are being treated as categories, because the redirect takes me to

    www.mydomain.com/customtax/val/

    So I guess there are two problems that I am having trouble with here. First, myArchive disappears from the url. Second, instead of ?customtax=val I get /customtax/val

    I think it might be helpful to say that under Permalink Settings > Common Settings I have the “Post name” option selected. Their example looks like this
    https://www.mydomain.com/dev/sample-post/

    But I’m talking about an archive, not posts.

    Thanks

    Update:

    I am now able to generate a clean url. This is an example of filtering by multiple custom taxonomies:
    https://mydomain.com/research/?research_focus=aging+smoking&population=female&platform=on-line-learning+web-based&status=current

    This is indeed the correct format, right? The issue now is that the selections for the drop down fields disappear after they are searched. For example, I have a drop down custom taxonomy called Funder. If I select Whatever Institute from the drop-down and submit, then the new url is:
    https://mydomain.com/research/?funder=whatever
    which is good and the archive correctly filters the content by this funder, but Whatever Institute is no longer selected for the Funder field drop-down, so adding new filter criteria and re-submitting loses the Whatever Institute selection.

    Thanks

    Another update:

    This thing with the drop-downs only happens when the drop down selection has no other filters before it. I.e. if Funders is the first and only drop-down selection, then everything works perfectly, but if there are any other facets before it, drop-down or otherwise, then it does as described in the above comment

    I don’t have a great answer or you and this issue, to be honest. CPTUI covers the registration of the post types and at least the majority of the parameters available for registration, we don’t touch how they’re used at all. Same with taxonomies.
