So, if you change the form to As an Archive and set the product archives template as the template to use, does that work? (leaving the results URL empty, with just the sf id in?)

yes it works

maybe the problem is that when I use it on archive / category pages the form already gets a parameter of the current category as the defualt selected option and that causes some issues?

Maybe. Is this issue in a position you can take it from here?

Some things cannot be. You cannot have three forms set to Post Type Archive. This cannot be worked around. Given that your theme is custom coded, this makes it hard for me to dig into your code to suggest how to integrate the form to the theme to get the correct results. We do not accept paid coding work, you would need to source this from a site like codeable.io

I suggested that the As an Archive method would be best, and I think you said it worked, but was there an issue? I now see the form is back to Post Type Archive, and not working.

The as an archive method will work with one form on many pages. It is necessary to have Ajax enabled and set the Only use Ajax on the results page setting to OFF (in the Ajax settings).

The pages also need to use the same template file.

but those are not wordpress regular pages, those are category and taxonomies pages

Yes, and the form should work fine on them. This is why I suggested using Skype, we can avoid the inevitable delays and misunderstandings common in emails and forum postings.

You want different forms on different taxonomies? By ‘form’ I mean the collection of fields and other controls.
