    When we have a Search & Filter form on a category archive page, how can make sure the filtering happens only on posts belonging to the current category?

    Any way of adding a hidden field that contains the category ID and have it submitted alongside the other filters via ajax?

    Example: https://www.nzytech.com/products-services/category/cazymes/glycoside-hydrolases/acetylgalactosaminidases/

    We only want to filter on products that belong to CAZymes > Glycoside Hydrolases > Acetylgalactosaminidases

    You can take a look in the tags, categories and taxonomies tab of your search form – and you can include / exclude any specific term there.

    If you want to do this dynamically, based on the current page being viewed, you can use a PHP hook to change the query arguments –

    Thanks

    We ended up by adding a product_cat field, activate “Detect defaults from current page” for “Tag, Category & Taxonomy Archives” and then hiding that field via CSS.

    Ah yes! That would work, easier solution 🙂

    Best

    Hi, Ross!!
    Can you post an example with the filter for the current category of the archive, please? It’s been 5 hours and still can’t achieve it 😟 . I’m using Elementor Pro. Thanks!
