The issue from the start is that the “category” of the archive page used to hold the selection in the filters. After version 1.2.7 the filtering kept looking at all categories and returned all results. It wouldn’t just limit itself to the archived category selected. Pointing directly to the URL forces the category to be selected when the user first gets to that page. Then any other filtering adheres to that category.

Don’t get me wrong, love the plugin, love how it works with Divi, and the options. This one change affected all of our category pages negatively. Now, this is the only option while keeping the plugin updated.

I updated the URL of the product category links to include the filtering of each category as the plugin dev never provided a good fix for the situation and I wanted the plugin updated. The plugin was also updated again to include more primary filtering so I changed the URLs again to work around the situation.

This works on version 1.2.7 if you build an archive page. The archive page holds the current category. We updated to the most current version of the plugin and now none of that works. The developer has been working on a fix for weeks. Hoping that a new version will remedy this. Otherwise, I’ll have to find a different way or plugin. I really like how it’s set up, not sure why the change that now will not show any filtering besides all products.
