This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The Views filters worked first but but suddenly stopped working
Solution:
The filter URL parameter name should be same as your shortcode attribute "url_param":
[wpv-control-post-taxonomy taxonomy="category" type="radio" url_param="wpv-category" output="legacy"]
I am trying to: create a basic category filtering with radio buttons
Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link
The filters worked first but but suddenly stopped working. The url has this ending stuck:
.../?wpv_aux_current_post_id=756&wpv_view_count=817-TCPID756
What ever I click the url stays the same. I have tried disabling AJAX, no help.
Also I have uninstalled all the plugins and tried with default theme, no help there either.
The filtering view is done following:
- Query section has the custom post type selected, query options "don't include current page in..."
- query filter is: Select posts with taxonomy: Categories slug in one of those set by the URL parameter wpvcategory
eg. hidden link
- filter section: no pagination, AJAX results update when visitors change any filter values
and in "Search and Pagination":
Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Well - with the information you shared regarding how the filter is setup, it looks like OK to me.
Is it possible for you to send me access details so I can check whats going wrong with your setup?
*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.
I would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. If you agree to this, please use the form fields I have enabled below to provide temporary access details (wp-admin and FTP).
I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
First of all - After checking debug information you shared with us, I found that you are using outdated Toolset plugins. We always recommend to run your site with latest stable release plugin version.
*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
Could you please update ALL Toolset plugins to it's latest official released version. You can download latest plugin release from your accounts page:

Regarding the issue now - I checked on my local test install with minimum setup (only Toolset plugins + default theme) and I do not able to see this issue.
What I've done:
-> assigned default taxonomy category to XYZ post type
-> created a new view and set this view to display XYZ post type filter by category (displayed as radio button) and set view to filter as AJAX
-> I click on radio button and it filters the posts correctly.
Am I missing anything here? If no:
In order to minimize the cause of the issue:
Could you please try to resolve your issue by deactivating all third-party plugins as well as the default theme to check for any possible conflicts with any of the plugins or themes?
Ok, I hadn't got any notification of plugin updates. Now they are updated, but no help there.
And these steps you mentioned:
"What I've done:
-> assigned default taxonomy category to XYZ post type
-> created a new view and set this view to display XYZ post type filter by category (displayed as radio button) and set view to filter as AJAX
-> I click on radio button and it filters the posts correctly."
Sure, IMHO that's toolset basic functioning 🙂 and that's how it worked in my site too in the beginning. I just don't understand what happened and why it stopped working.
And as I said, I already changed to default template and deactivated all the other than toolset plugins. It didn't help, I did it now again, same thing.
I think there is something now oddly corrupted perhaps, but I don't know how to correct and where to search the solution.
Minesh isn't available, I will take care this thread.
I have checked it in your website, and have done below modification:
Edit the view "reseptit-filttereillä", in section "Query Filter", change the filter URL parameter name from:
wpvcategory
To:
wpv-category
It should be same as your shortcode attribute "url_param":
[wpv-control-post-taxonomy taxonomy="category" type="radio" url_param="wpv-category" output="legacy"]
Please test again, check if it is fixed or not, thanks
