When we add a menu item for a toolset category view in the WordPress menu

It should give us a link like this:
hidden link

Instead, it is creating a link like this:
hidden link

It is leaving out the /?loccat= portion of the address. Which of course is the filter. And so no matter what category we click on in the menu we are getting ALL items instead of the filtered search result.

I do not want to have to create custom link menu item for every single category. This will make it very difficult for my client to update the menu in the future.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Would you mind providing me with admin access to the website so that I can have a look at this for you ?

You only want this to display the current taxonomy archive correct?

Thanks,
Shane

Hello,

Thank you for the credentials.

I was able to identify the issue and it was that you were using the wrong filter.

Since you are linking directly to the taxonomy page itself. All that is needed is this filter here .

See Screenshot.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
