    Hi there

    We are seeing an issue on Pro using Elementor.

    We are filtering on 3 post categories but if I select options from 2 or more only the last category selected is “sticking” in the drop down and being searched on.

    So for example this is possible –

    ?_sft_category=retail

    But multiple query strings are not being generated by the form.

    What am I missing? Presumably the filtering can filter on multiple categories at once and I am sure this was originally working.

    Am I missing a config setting?

    Are you able to send me a live link/URL to your search page so I can take a look?

    Sorry they are all drop-downs.

    We are using Author and then 3 post categories.

    That’s correct with Keywords first and Submit + Reset at the end.

    I suspect that I understand the problem. You appear to be using Category more than once.

    If you are, please read this post, which is relevant to your situation:
