I have had a quick look. Two things I observe. One is that you have used Product Category four times in the form. This is not allowed, but I am unsure if that would cause the problem. I can see that Relevanssi IS indexing the products.

The other potential issue is that you are using Divi. When I have seen WooCommerce in other Divi sites, the shop page has been built using Divi Builder and the Shop module.

Read this post abut the multiple use of the same taxonomy:

The issue with Divi is that I cannot make a proper search page. I mean no criteria no nothing.

Now what I am doing is using the storefront theme and the divi plugin for the homepage since divi is more visual and easier to make a more “beautiful” landing page. I do not know if you remember but I had posted another request for divi and search and it was going through specific modules of theirs and had awful appearance etc.

Anyways just to recap what I have to do:
– Disable blogging (since I clearly am not using it for blogging purposes)
– I will have to make custom post types (any known conflicts with storefront, Divi functionality?)
– Do custom meta fields
– And then enable auto count at S&F in order for it to work.

Am i correct? (I was so ignorantly happy hoping that with the 4 categories’ dropdowns S&F could just figure what in maths is called a set intersection)

That about sums it up. I wouldn’t have used Divi for the home page, but, if you have it …

There is a disable blogging plugin. I use it sometimes. I usually use CPT UI for CPTs and Taxonomies and ACF for Custom Fields.

Thanks for the input Trevor. A quick two points (sorry be asking so many questions I just want to find the easiest solution for my case)

1) Why you wouldn’t have used Divi? Any better alternatives or downsides for doing that?
2) Would it be possible to alter S&F or add some code where each of the 4 dropdowns would represent one tag (in total 4 tags) and then show the products with those 4 tags? That way we could replicate the functionality of the search that I mentioned above.

Once again thank you for the time devoted in helping!!

Good evening Trevor!

Following our conversation yesterday, I think I found a solution to my issue from yesterday.
If you remember I have 4 categories that I would like to filter the results. In the website there are two main categories Sea careers and shore careers. I was thinking to create two different searches that each one of them would have one drop down that would have the product categories and one more that would have product tag. The tricky part is to disable/enable the corresponding search and eventually make it visible/hidden each and every time someone is browsing the subcategories/products of one of the main categories.

Any ideas, inputs on that???

Thanksss
