Search filtering by post category

  • Hey Mikko,

    I just can’t get this piece of code the work like I want to:

    <?php
         $url = get_bloginfo('url');
  	 $docs = esc_attr(add_query_arg(array('s' => get_search_query(), 'cat' => 61), $url));
  	 $news = esc_attr(add_query_arg(array('s' => get_search_query(), 'cat' => 81), $url));
?>

<aside class="sidenav" role="navigation">
	<ul class="sidebar-menu">
		<li><strong><?php  _e('Filter your results', 'amer-sports') ?></strong></li>
		<li><?php echo '<a href="' . get_bloginfo('url') . '?s=' . get_search_query() . '&showposts=-1" rel="nofollow">All</a>'; ?></li>
		<li><?php echo "<a href='$docs'>Documents</a>"; ?></li>
		<li><?php echo "<a href='$news'>News</a>"; ?></li>
	</ul>
</aside>

    The body class changes to right category, but still gives the same results.

    The problem seems to be Polylang. Filters work fine when Relevanssi is deactivated or when Polylang is deactivated. No clue what’s causing this.

    Polylang shouldn’t affect the category filter in any way. Polylang does add an additional level of filtering that weeds out the results in the wrong language, but it should work fine with the category filtering.

    Does the filtering work better, if you change the cat to cats when Relevanssi is enabled?

    That just changes body class and it still gives the same results.

    Sorry, can’t help much more without being able to debug the code myself.
