Refine results, not add to them

Having trouble getting my recipe to behave. Looking for this behavior:
http://www.professionalroofconsultants.com/portfolio

Currently I have 2 category entries in my search. My desired result is:
Block 1: Select Category A or B, see all contents of selection
Block 2: Next block has checkboxes that refine everything *only within* Category A.

Currently, Block 2 shows posts from Cat A *or* B, PLUS the contents of the selection in Block 1. They don’t seem to be aware of each other.

Hi there

In the general tab, change the Field relationships: to “AND” – which I think will do what you need.

Either that, or inside your category field change the search operator to “AND”

Thanks

Do you offer any configuration services for a fee? I’ve tried every possible combination and have been banging my head on this thing for weeks. I need to wrap it.

I see the issue, you are using a category field multiple times.

You cannot do this. You should use custom taxonomies (behave just the same as categories) for each additional field you want to create.

Read teh notes here under “some restrictions” and also further down on how to create custom taxonomies:

BOOOM! I can’t thank you enough, Ross!
And of course, the answer was in the documentation.
Thanks again!
