    Hi,

    I have multiple post-types but i am using default categories on the website. I am using post type, category and search to filter the results on the same page. Post type works and filters the multiple post types and the search bar works as it should. Im having an issue with the categories filter. it displays all relevant categories that are in the backed but it doesn’t show any of the relevant post within the categories. I have enabled auto count and the categories are displaying that there a (0) posts when they have been selected in the back end. I have disabled all plugins except for search & filter Pro and the categories posts still didn’t display. I am using the shortcode to populate the filter & results on the same page. Is it likely I have missed a setting somewhere or does it sound like a scripting confliction?

    Thanks

    Hmmm, in many cases in WordPress, plugins and themes use something called Custom Taxonomies.

    These Custom taxonomies behave in nearly identical ways to WordPress Tags and Categories.

    In addition to this, many plugins/themes create custom taxonomies for you to use, but actually only call them “Categories” or “Tags” – which is even more confusing because they are not true WP tags/categories.

    Try to take a look at adding a Taxonomy field and let me know how you get on?

    Thanks
