    Hi,

    Is it possible to save filter/search selection per user?

    For example, I have a Blog/News site where readers can select which categories they want to read from (using your filters), but can they save these selected by them categories as they preference (they of course will have to sign up to have an account I guess). But is it possible in general?

    Thank you.

    This is not currently possible, as the search query is currently represented by a query string in the URL.

    However, V3 will allow (I think) for the search query to be stored as a transient, which you might be able to save/access. That would require some coding on your part though.

    Another issue is that the query details you save would likely be saved as custom fields in the user table (unless your members are stored as posts?). You would also have to find a way to access that data and use it.

    V3 is due around June 2020.
