We have a View set up with the legacy editor. We set up two filters in the top Query Filter section, but now would like to delete those. We found that it was done better in the Search and Pagination section. But now we can't see any way to delete them from the Query Filter section.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

In the "Query Filter" section of the view editor, usually buttons are available to either edit or delete the existing filters.
( example screenshot: hidden link )

In case, these options are missing from your view, you can share temporary admin login details, along with the name of the view.

Note: Your next reply will be private and making a complete backup copy is recommended before sharing the access details.

regards,
Waqar

When I first load the page, I see the Delete and Edit buttons, but while the page is loading, the Delete button disappears. The edit button remains.

But now I'm seeing that the filters I added in the Search and Pagination area now appear in this Query Filter area as well. So we no longer want to delete them. So no issue needed to solve now.

If you want to look at it to determine why the Delete button is disappearing, we can still do that, but I don't want you to feel like it is needed any more in case you'd rather not spend time on it on that basis. I'm OK with it either way. If you decide to not look at it and I run across the same issue later where I need to delete one and can't do it otherwise, then I'd refile another ticket and point to this one.

Thanks for the update and glad that the issue is sorted for now.

I'm going to mark this ticket as resolved, but, you're welcome to start a new one, in case, you need us to look into this disappearing button, in the future.
