SOLVED: Post Filter bug?

Bugs
1

Bricks version 1.3.7
Chrome

Hello,

I’m not sure if it’s a bug or if I’m doing something wrong, but I recorded a short video. Basically, if I add pagination to the post (posts per page 4, or any number), the filter doesn’t seem to work correctly. The category “Webdesign” should have 4 posts in it but displays only 1 while pagination is active. Without pagination, the filter functions normally.

Kind regards

Hi intovortex,

The filter filters only the currently available posts, so if there is only one “Webdesign” post on page one, it shows only this post.

The filter isn’t a query itself, it simply looks if there are posts with a .category class in the current markup, in your case .webdesign.

So this is not a bug.

Best regards,

Hello,
Sorry for the late reply. I thought the filter was a query itself. This was driving me nuts. Thank you for explaining.

Kind regards

Hi,

I just experienced the same issue before understanding it only filters displayed posts… which makes it quite useless on a paginated grid or at least misleading for the user.

I guess it has to be replaced by a facet filter to be effective, such as FacetWP, Search & Filter, WP GridBuilder… provided they work on a Bricks Posts grid(?)

I agree. I can’t imagine this being desired functionality for anyone. It becomes useless without the ability to filter ALL posts, not just the posts on the current page.
