Flex loop filters – multiple bugs

Hello,

There are multiple bugs with the flex loop filters:

(1) the filters work fine when we activate the “multi” option, but if we deactivate it, then the filters don’t work anymore.

For instance, I use the pa_lang as taxonomy:
– when the “multi” option is activated, then url shows the right condition : ?tdb_tax_pa_lang=english
– but if the “multi” option is deactivated, it writes an incorrect condition in the url : ?taxonomy=pa_lang&term=anglais (instead of tdb_tax_pa_lang=english)

(2) Filters can be displayed through 5 options (button, dropdown, dropdown search, color, image).
– if color or image are selected they don’t show.

(3) The headers of the filters cannot be edited. A wrong text is displayed as the post type is automatically added to the name filter.
– For instance, if I add the language filters (pa_lang from woocommerce), the header reads “Product Language” instead of “Language” alone, and there is no way to edit this.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Bettina,

Thank you for your reply.

(1) According to colors and images: Please read back my message… colors and images are already set correctly for the taxonomies but they do not display. Do the test on your end with the pa_lang taxonomy from woocommerce. The image doesn’t show. But it works fine in the woocommerce filters in the store. So there is a bug with the flex loop filters

(2) No, we cannot use inline text when there are more than 1 filter. The numerous headers are within the block for each filter. So the inline texts cannot be added inside the block. Please have the “post_type” name removed from the header… it makes no sense. Or add the ability to attach a header title for each filter.

(3) You wrote “Normally, if you have more than one filter, you should check the option “Multi.””. Allow me to disagree with you. This is not the way it should work as it is not logical. You can check how other filters work (ie. woocommerce). It is not logicial to consider that filters have to add up. Most of the time it is not case and it messes the results returned. Please consider fixing this. Report to the developers, I’m sure they will agree.

Regards.

Hi,

Actually it doesn’t even work for any custom taxonomy. Please fix this for woocommerce taxonomies but also for custom ones.

Could you also report the bug regarding the condition added to the url when filters are not on « multi mode »?

And what about the header titles, will you fix it ?

Regards.

Hi,

Any chance that at least the header title problem and the change in the url for the « non multi mode » could be fixed in the next release? The flex loop filters is not functional and it prevents us to using it even though it is essential to us.

Regards.
