Hi Trevor,

https://staging.revento.io

When you write down let’s say “marketing” then it redirects to results / filter, but on the results page I want marketing checkbox to be pre-checked. What exactly should I tweak inside of php code? Appreciate your time! Thank you.

Because it is being sent as a search string, we cannot transpose that to a term filter, but you should add a search box to that form in the sidebar so the search term can be pre-populated in the search box.

A problem would otherwise arise if a user searched for a term not exactly matched in the terms listed in the filter on that page. For example, if they were to search for market.

Thank you, Trevor, for your reply!

But if for example, we can do on the client-side via Javascript, that if word marketing equals URL string marketing, then it just adds class marketing sf-option-active?

Because people who will be using the search form, we are not going to give them the ability to write whatever they want, only basically categories that are in the filter on the result page

Ah, I see. You would need to set up a WordPress rewrite to do this. There are a few examples in this forum, but yours would need to be specially written. Here is an example:
