Is Products Filter adapting to current query?

First post here! Thanks for giving Bricks to world :grinning: :grinning:!

I’ve an issue with Product Filters and I can’t find an obvious way to overcome this.

I’ve created a shop template which has Products Filter on the left side. While being in Shop main page filters work just fine, but when I visit a product category the filter is not selected although products are displayed as they should.

Am I doing something wrong or is it an issue?

Thanks in advance

Same issue right now. It seems that it does not adapt at all, making it less ideal for live projects…

I’m having the same problem as you’ve reported here. And it seems to me that there’s something wrong with the product filter from bricks.

I’ve created a template for product archive, which is applied to both the “shop” page and on the various product categories pages.

On the shop page, the filter works fine, but in the product categories pages, the filter doesn’t work properly because, for example, it picks up all the attributes, tags and prices from all the products and not just from the products in that category.

Shouldn’t the filters only show data from the products in the current category? This way there is no sense to use it on product category pages!

I’ve been bumping all the similar posts about this issue. It’s still present in v.1.12.4

Can confirm that this is still an issue. Oxygen has had this working for years, and so has native WooCommerce

@timmse sorry for tagging you, but is there any update on this? We’ve been mentioning it for a year and a half now, and I think it’s pretty much a bug rather than the intended implementation?

I tried out the new’ish “Live Filter & Search” elements and they are correctly filtering on taxonomy archive pages. The only caveat is they’re still “beta” and have to be enabled in settings. I’m not comfortable with using beta features on production but this was the only way. I haven’t encountered any issues so far.

Hi guys,
With the query sort and filter elements introduced in Bricks 1.9.6, all your wishes should come true. The functionality of the “product filter” element remains unaffected. So if you need more complex filters, use the “new” filter elements.

This is not true. The “experimental” status was removed in 1.9.9, see:
