Hi,

Currently if a custom field name is "Quantity" and i add a filter for this field in a view then after change in filter is show like this in url:
wpv-wpcf-quantity=20

I want to show it like this in url:-
quantity=20

Please help me to achieve this.

Edit your View and make sure that you can see the Query Filter section (using the Screen Options tab at the very top of the page, if needed).

For every filter control you add in the Search and Pagination editor, a corresponding Query Filter is added. The URL parameter specified in the filter control matches that in the Query Filter (see screenshot).

You can edit these to use an alternative string, they just need to match.

Okay, Thank you Nigel, I made the changes as you suggested and its working fine.

But there is something showing that is not in my filter fields

wpv_aux_current_post_id=65&wpv_view_count=91-TCPID65

Please let me know what is this and where this is coming from. Could we remove these if yes then how?

Those parameters are used when using custom search filters or pagination with ajax.

You can prevent them being shown by going to Toolset > Settings > Front-end Content and unchecking the options shown in the screenshot.

After unchecking the options shown in the screenshot there is nothing showing in url, it means custom fields in url are also removed.

I want to remove only wpv_aux_current_post_id=65&wpv_view_count=91-TCPID65 this, but keep the custom fields in url.

Please help me to get this.

It's either globally display the parameters or don't display them, they cannot be disabled individually, and those additional parameters cannot be customised, sorry.

Okay, Thank you Nigel.
