[Assigned] Filters in an archive not working

I have created a View which displays and allows users to filter results on my website. The filters in the view work well. However, they do not work in a parallel WP archive. The two should be pretty much identical, allowing users to seamlessly go to the Search page (View) and then click on any category, keyword, etc., and still filter results in the same way.

It applies to four filters:
- Year
- Medium
- Difficulty
- Recommended Use

The Topics, Languages and Traditions filters seem to work just fine.

hidden link - you can see the View here, click on any taxonomy to see the archive.
Can you please help me work out what's up with those filters in the Archive? Thanks!

Hi,

I'm not sure if I see any difference between the pages.

I went to hidden link

Clicked "vegetarianism" and redirected to:

hidden link

Expanded "Value Theory" category and selected Value and it shows the results:

Would you please give me the steps on what to do to see the issue?

Thanks.

Thanks for looking into this. Sounds like you're just accessing the archives without using the filters. Click on 'FIlters' next to the Search button to expand the filters. That's where you'll see what I described. Also, Minesh was helping me with this before, perhaps he'd know.

Just to ensure we are on same page.

Can you please tell me for what taxonomy archives you want to apply the filter. Can you please tell me what taxonomy archive you are using? Do you only want to apply on taxonomy archive or post type archive?

Do you want to apply the same filter for use and difficulty as I shared solution before?

Hi Minesh,

I want to filter by the following taxonomies:
- Topics
- Traditions
- Languages

And the following custom fields:
- Publication Year
- Medium
- Difficulty
- Recommended Use

I want all those filters to be available on the following taxonomy archives
- Topics
- Traditions
- Languages
- Figures
- Keywords

The Archive I am using is FilterArchives.
The View where all of this is working fine is FilterSearch.

I am not using different post types, so only apply to posts.

Yes, please use with the same custom code for Difficulty and Recommended Use you created.

The login credentials for the site are the same as before.

I hope that helps. Thank you!
