Tell us what you are trying to do?

I am trying to add different search options per product categorie. Can you give me advise on how its best to achieve this?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

I have added the code to the archive of products. By selecting "Let me choose individual settings manually" under "How do you want to update the results?" i have almost achieved when I want to accomplish. The only problem with this is that it does not include a label above each search field

What is the link to your site?
I have tested here hidden link

Any advise would be highly appreciated.

Hi Troy

You could make a product category archive that includes all of the possible filter controls that you may want to appear on any one of the archives on the front-end.

Then wrap the markup for the filter controls in conditional statements to only display for certain categories.

You can use the shortcode wpv-archive-title to know the currently displayed archive: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-archive-title

Note that the format output is something like "Category: Hoodies". (This is from the demo content that comes with WooCommerce.)

So you can choose to only display a particular form control for such a category like so:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-archive-title]' eq 'Category: Hoodies' )"]
<div class="form-group">
	<label>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Product color[/wpml-string]</label>
	[wpv-control-post-taxonomy taxonomy="pa_color" type="select" url_param="wpv-pa_color"]
</div>
[/wpv-conditional]

You can also choose to display a filter control if the category is NOT the specified one, and you can combine conditions as required.

(See https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-html-output-in-views/ for details about using conditional shortcodes.)
