Update: I found that the $dm_settings[‘left_sidebar’] is set in admin>appearance>devdmoptions when you select “show left sidebar”. However, when I do this, it gives sidebars to ALL the pages. Is there a way to modify this setting so only the correct page has a sidebar? 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

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

Thanks for your reply. Just to make sure I understand: When you say the “right” section, do you mean the entire right section including all the other taxonomies, or do you mean the “right” section as in “copy only the section containing the research focus taxonomy”
