[Resolved] Change url for view filters?

I have a view built in the block editor, with search filters to change the results. Each time I add a new filter the url updates however it is really long, for example

pagetitle/?wpv-wpcf-active-regions=Europe&wpv_aux_current_post_id=3041&wpv_aux_parent_post_id=3041&wpv_view_count=3049

Is there any way to update this to something more friendly like pagetitle/?wpv-wpcf-active-regions=Europe?

Thanks!

Hi Mary

Are you updating your View results via ajax?

If so you can go to Toolset > Settings > Front-end Content and disable the option "Enable history management setttings for AJAX custom search" (likewise for pagination), and then no URL parameters will be shown in the address bar at all.

If you are not using ajax and instead updating results via page reload, then the URL parameters cannot be hidden, and there aren't any options for modifying them.

Hi, I'm not sure this solution will work as I need unique urls for each filtered view so I can link to them separately.

Hi, as Nigel mentioned the additional parameters added by the system, like &wpv_aux_current_post_id=3041&wpv_aux_parent_post_id=3041&wpv_view_count=3049, are not modifiable from the Block Editor. They are in place to help Views know which filter options should be selected in which View on the page, and for best results should not be removed from the URL.
