Tell us what you are trying to do?
The site was working fine but the toolset and other plugins were way out of date. So I've updated all of WP, plugins and also renewed my subscription for toolset and updated the toolset plugins.
All is fine apart from the fact that the views that I have at the bottom of certain pages are supposed to only show Projects (a custom post type) from a certain Project Type (a custom taxonomy for that custom post type). E.g. On the Petroleum page, the view at the bottom of that page used to only show the latest 2 Petroleum projects.
It's now showing the latest 2 projects from all of the projects (not just the Petroleum taxonomy).
Here's the link to that page: hidden link
Is there any documentation that you are following?
I can't find a tutorial for setting these up, but I had done a few years ago when I set it up originally. It has all be working fine (apart from the software being out of date). It's only been today when I've updated Toolset, that the views aren't showing the right Project Type.
when I look at the Views and edit one, in the Query Filter section it says Taxonomy Filter and in there says Select posts with taxonomy: (but there is no taxonomy showing). When I edit this filter it doesn't give me the chance to choose the taxonomy.
What is the link to your site?
The site is here: hidden link
I've got a full backup from last night, so it's safe for you to make changes.
The problem is the same with all the views where it's showing only on taxonomy. So these views:
Commercial
EV Charger
Industrial
Petroleum
Many thanks for your help,

Hello, I will be glad to help restore the previous Query Filter functionality. Please keep in mind this is a public forum, and you should only share login credentials in private communication fields. For your security, I have removed the login credentials from the public post and saved them in a private area. Please stand by, I will take a closer look at the Views you mentioned and give you an update shortly.
I can see that these 4 Views were created with front-end search filters for the Project Types taxonomy, but instead of showing the filters and results, only the results are displayed on the front-end using the view_display option like so:
[wpv-view name="petroleum" view_display="layout" limit="2" orderby="date"]
If you look in the Search and Pagination panel of the View editor screen, you can see code for the front-end filter like this:
[wpv-filter-start hide="false"]
[wpv-filter-controls]
<div class="form-group">
<label>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Project Types[/wpml-string]</label>
[wpv-control-post-taxonomy taxonomy="project-type" type="radios" url_param="wpv-project-type"]
</div>
[/wpv-filter-controls]
[wpv-filter-end]
Similar front-end search control code exists in all 4 Views:
hidden link
hidden link
hidden link
hidden link
In previous versions of the software, the front-end controls code did not directly impact the Query Filter editor, but in recent versions these components are more tightly coupled. I suggest deleting the filter code from the wpv-filter-controls shortcode first. After deleting the filter controls, the Search and Pagination panels in each View should contain only the following code in each View:
[wpv-filter-start hide="false"]
[wpv-filter-controls][/wpv-filter-controls]
[wpv-filter-end]
After you delete these codes, you should then have the ability to edit the Project Type taxonomy Query Filters and select the correct term filter for each View. I can make these changes for you if you'd like, but I wanted to confirm first because I am not entirely sure whether these Views are used anywhere else on the site. Changing the filter configurations here could break those other locations unexpectedly. Let me know how you would like to proceed.
Ah that's it! Thanks very much for your help and also for your detailed explanation. That was perfect. Thanks so much,
Matt
