    Hi Trevor,

    Can you please shed some light on why S&F isn’t picking up my altered permalink category base in Avada?

    So basically, I’m using shortcode to generate results, I’ve also ticked “Maintain Search Form State”.

    And whenever the search results comes back, the permalink is:

    http://www.domain.com/case-studies/post-name/?_sft_portfolio_category=category-name

    I’ve went into Settings > Permalinks and changed the ‘Avada Portfolio Category Base’ from portfolio_category to case-studies-category, but S&F doesn’t recognise it. So the permalink I want is:

    http://www.domain.com/case-studies/post-name/?_sft_case-studies-category=category-name

    Thank you in advance.

    At the moment (we intend to change this for the next major release I believe), the Results URL cannot have the form that you want.

    It can be, for example:

    http://www.domain.com/post-name/

    But not

    http://www.domain.com/case-studies/post-name/

    Ah sorry, I meant changing from:

    ?_sft_portfolio_category=

    To:

    ?_sft_case_studies_category=

    Ah. When you go to the form UI setup, it still shows as the old name?

    This is because there are two names for a taxonomy. The name, which you have changed, and the slug name, which cannot be changed. For example, when you try in CPT UI (a taxonomy plugin) to change the slug of a taxonomy, it warns you that doing so will actually create a new taxonomy, and asks you if you want to transfer the terms over?

    Doing this WOULD let S&F see them. So, instead of renaming the category thing, use CPT UI to make a completely new one with the correct slug, and then use the Taxonomy Switcher plugin to move the terms over.

    Ah yes, I figured that’d be a solution. But was just trying to see if there are other work arounds before having to create a new taxonomy 🙂

    Thanks Trevor!
