I have a wordpress archive set up with a taxonomy filter select dropdown named "wpv-product-category". When navigating to the page, I want to preset the taxonomy select option to "household". I have the following JQuery added to the JS of the filter section:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
jQuery("select[name^='wpv-product-category'] option[value='household']").attr("selected","selected");
});

It changes the select value just fine, but does not update the results on the page. Is there some event I need to trigger to get Views to update the displayed results?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

I assume you are using AJAX search option: AJAX results update when visitors change any filter values
You can try to modify your JS codes as below:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
	jQuery("select[name^='wpv-product-category']").val("household");
	jQuery("select[name^='wpv-product-category']").trigger("change");;
});
