I am trying to: we have a page with a filter set, page loads with the correct content for the filter, but the ajax pagination gets results as though there were no filter settings.

Link to my site: hidden link

I expected to see: Less duplicate posts, posts only from the filter category

Instead, I got: Duplicate Student results after "Load More"

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

well - I checked the URL you shared with us and I do not see any results is duplicating - am I missing any steps/trick here?

[Kristen Estes]

Strange, it doesn't seem to be duplicating them anymore, but I do see a lot of results that don't seem to be coming up. You can see ALL the testimonials for the filter here: hidden link

For instance: I don't see any video posts at all anymore, when previously they would come up!

Well - I can see one video post at top of the page with the red background.

As your original issue is resolved - could you please try to open a new ticket with your each new question. This will help other users searching on the forum.

Thank you for understanding.

I wouldn't call this resolved as the filter isn't even working correctly, clear by all the results that aren't showing. This is the only remaining issue holding up this site launch, so I'd appreciate some conclusive, helpful support.

Well - I would love to help you further.

Sorry but I do not see any filter on the page here:
=> hidden link

Am I missing anything? If yes, could you please tell me which filter you are talking about and for which view and page and what is your expected output?

It was an interesting case and the mistake was you have added taxonomy filter using shortcode and that is your own custom way.

I've modified the shortcode that displays the taxonomy filter as given under:

function custom_categories(){
$args = array('type' => 'category',  'hide_empty'       => 0);
$categories = get_categories($args);
$echo ='';
 
  if(isset($_GET['wpv-category'])) {
    $selected = $_GET['wpv-category'];
   }
 
foreach($categories as $category) {
  if($category->slug === 'uncategorized')continue;
  $checked = '';
  foreach($selected as $k=>$v):
      if($category->slug==$v){ $checked = "checked=checked"; }
  endforeach;
  
  $echo .= '<div class="checkbox new_style" style="background-image:url('.z_taxonomy_image_url($category->term_id).'); "><label class="absolute_hover" for="post_category-'.$category->slug.'"><input id="post_category-'. $category->slug.'" class="js-wpv-filter-trigger" name="wpv-category[]" '.$checked.' value="'. $category->slug.'" type="checkbox">'. $category->description.'</label></div>';

  
 }
  
  return $echo;
}

add_shortcode('custom_categories','custom_categories');

Could you please check and confirm that now infinite scroll pagination works as expected and do not load all the results.

The pagination seems to be working now, but the issue of them not filtering anymore persists! I think it's just pulling up the same category over and over but in a different order. For instance, none of our video posts at all are showing up when previously they were!

Well - I can see there are 11 results for first category "fear-of-change". The pagination set to display 4 results per page.

So go to the following link or click on the first category "fear-of-change":
=> hidden link
=> scroll down to fire infinite scroll
=> again scroll down to fire infinite scroll
=> You will see now video posts

Seems to work now, thank you!
