This is not strictly related to toolset, but I have tried some fixes without success so....I thought I could ask for some pro help and see if I can get it sorted out, forgive my dullness.

I have a view and view filter in place, so there are some cases where there are some filter parameters in the url as query string variables. So I sometimes have hidden link .

I would like to add some 'pretty' urls to some of the most accessed result sets:

hidden link

I couldn't put to work any sampled custom coded rewite url in my htaccess file. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hi, the short answer is it's not possible. We don't get into .htaccess customizations here, or anything other than basic permalink structures. Furthermore, removing URL parameters from a View that is configured to use front-end filters will inevitably break the View's filters and pagination system. Since there's no JavaScript API for managing the selected filters, I don't have any code examples to share with you and I can't troubleshoot your own custom filter code. You would be completely on your own there.

If no front-end filters are used for these most popular result sets and you simply want to display the pre-filtered results, then you could create multiple Pages that contain different pre-filtered Views, or use shortcode attributes to filter the same View with different parameters. However, combining this approach with front-end filters isn't possible. Let me know if you have questions about that.
