Flex Block Filtering Issue: (Current Taxonomy Term) AND (Specific Category ID)

Hello tagDiv Support Team,

I am building a generic Taxonomy Archive Template using the tagDiv Cloud Library/Composer. This template is assigned to a Custom Taxonomy (e.g., prompts) and needs to load correctly for all terms within that taxonomy (e.g., /prompts/term-A, /prompts/term-B, etc.).

My goal is to display content in two separate Flex Blocks, each filtered by the current taxonomy term AND a specific Category ID.

1. Goal (Desired Query Logic):
I need to enforce the following AND logic within each Flex Block, dynamically, without hardcoding the current Taxonomy Term ID:

Section 1 (Text Posts): Posts must belong to (Current Taxonomy Term) AND (Category ID 87).

Section 2 (Image Posts): Posts must belong to (Current Taxonomy Term) AND (Category ID 88).

2. Current Setup (Flex Block Filter Settings):
I am using a Flex Block and configuring the Filter tab as follows (for Section 1, Category ID 87):

Category filter: Taxonomy – Current (Used to inherit the current term)

Multiple terms filter: 87 (Hardcoded ID of the specific category)

Posts(cpts) must belong to all terms: Checked (Intended to force the AND logic)

3. Issue/Failure Point:
Despite setting the Posts(cpts) must belong to all terms checkbox, the Flex Block query is incorrectly executed.

Observed Result: The block is showing posts that belong to Category ID 87 but are associated with OTHER, unrelated taxonomies or terms outside of the current archive page.

Example: When viewing /prompts/term-A, the block is showing posts tagged with Category ID 87, but whose main taxonomy term is from a different, unrelated taxonomy (e.g., from the guides taxonomy or another custom taxonomy).

4. Request:
Could you please advise on the correct combination of settings within the tagDiv Flex Block or provide a precise workaround to generate a strict, generic WP_Query that enforces the dynamic (Current Taxonomy Term) AND (Specific Category ID) relationship?

If this combination is not possible via the standard UI, please provide a filter or shortcode parameter that achieves this specific tax_query requirement.

Thank you for your time and assistance!

This is one such Taxonomy page – https://stealprompt.com/industry/marketing/

I am trying to show two sections on taxonomy pages,

Section 1 – Posts which belong to both ( ‘Current Taxonomy’ and ‘Text Category’)
Section 2 – Posts which belong to both ( ‘Current Taxonomy’ and ‘Image Category’)

Hi, Thanks for your quick response,

That is not the issue,

If you check, in the first & second sections, it is showing few other posts which are not related to the current taxonomy itself. In both the sections, it is showing the correct category posts, but it is also showing other taxonomy posts also (but these are related to the category which we mentioned in ).

Please check the screenshot – https://jumpshare.com/s/B5ttQdmkmGv3p0RBfUlD

In this sample page,
First section should show – only Marketing Industry posts, within that marketing Industry taxonomy it should show Text posts

Similarly, second section should show, only Marketing Industry posts, within that marketing Industry taxonomy it should show Image posts

So, it is losing ‘Current Taxonomy’ logic in those sections, and showing all the posts related to category ‘text’ and ‘image’

Hi Calin, sorry for the trouble.

So if we mention category id in ‘Multiple terms filter’, and select option ‘Posts(cpts) must belong to all terms’,
will it loses the logic ‘Current Taxonomy’ only ?

Because it shouldn’t have shown unrelated/other taxonomy posts right?

Any luck?

I understand, I already tried search our complete forum, seems the AND logic is not there for us.

So it shows the posts which are related to both Current Taxonomy and category id mentioned in ‘Multiple Terms Filter’ input field with OR logic.

It would be great if we have one more input filed to achieve AND logic.

if have any other plugins as extension to achieve and compatible with our theme, please help me know. If we have any code snippets to customize, would help me,.

Hi All, I made a custom plugin to achieve this, and it is working fine. If you guys want to try it out, let me know, I can share it.

Can you share the custom plugin code?
