Hello all. Great plugin, but I have one problem.

test demo
https://shop.biz2web.ru/shop/

I’d like to create 2 or more widgets filter form with different woocommerce categories.

So, I create first with include product categories 1,2,3
and second with include product categories but 3,4,5

the problem is: working and sorting only one (women’s) from 2 filters. If select checkbox in 2-nd (men’s) I receive message: items not found and selected items or all items on shop page disappears.

use Field relationships = OR and Search Operator = OR
try different parameters = same result, not working

working ONLY LATEST created filter.

Please help, thanks

Hi, using two forms on the page like this will not work. I suspect that there might also be a warning about this in the admin form design page.

Most clothing shops have a product-category custom taxonomy (as you have and also how WooCommerce is set by default), with a second custom taxonomy for gender-category, which allows the user to choose from male, female or unisex. If you want them separated as you show, without the gender-category, then you must have separate custom taxonomies for all the male product categories, female product categories, etc.

This is not just a matter of the look and feel of the search, but one of practicality. As most WordPress based e-commerce physical product stores use WooCommerce, the former option (using a gender-category) is more commonly seen, and thus more familiar to users.

Ok, I all understand that I can’t use 2 search filter at one page. Clothing store it’s just example, because if client have to much sorting categories like computer store or sell kitchen cabinets with many variations it will be more easily for client just select checkbox of categories for filtering.

But now I see that I need use something like Advanced Custom Fields and Custom Post Type UI.

Anyway, thanks for help Trevor!
