“OR” filter gives a 404 when selecting multiple options

    I have a set of filters for a custom post type list. Each of the filters works fine when one term is selected, and they also combine fine if one term is selected from each. But when I select multiple terms from a single filter, the page 404s. All the filters are set to OR, so selecting multiple terms should add more results – and anyway it doesn’t give an empty list but an actual 404 page.

    What’s going wrong here?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    If I disable Filter Everything and manually enter the query URL with comma-separated values (e.g. https://tradescantia.uk/checklist/?availability=locally-produced,mass-produced), it works as intended.

    But with Filter Everything enabled, the same URL gives a 404. Actually using the filter widget to create the same query generates the URL with semicolon-separated values instead, but still 404s.

    Hi @stepasyuk, do you have any ideas about this?

    Hi @averixus

    Sorry for the late response. It looks like you used the same word for your URL var name as for original taxonomy for this filter. In general I have to forbid this in the plugin code or even show notice that it is not allowed, but in some cases it works normally so I stil didn’t do that. In your case it does not work so try please to change filter URL Var Names in Filters -> Settings -> URL Var Names and this should fix the problem.

    Thanks for the response, that’s done the trick. It would be good information to have up front when making new filter sets ??
