I have an issue with filters. I have a widget sidebar set – this has several 8theme Swatch Filters in there – but when I am on the main SHOP Page – all of them show despite me having the shop page set to only show Category and NOT PRODUCTS. Sure at this first level it should not show attribute swatches until I am phsically on that archive page?
If I click a filter at this point it pulls in products – which I guess is okay – however it still shows all the other possible filter options which when clicked – clash with the first selection showing that there are no relevant products.
I understand the Clear All Filters widget can be used – but customers do just click further filters anyway and so will always get clashing data/no results.
What would be good is if the results presented – then dictated which filters would show based on the results that were shown only and not the original set of filter options that were available at the start before for the first filter.
I dont want to use a 3rd party complex filer and add load onto site – so hoping that you guys will look at making this better as it really does limit what we can achieve with a site as it is .
I’d really appreciate a better understanding of how to get this to work better as the guide on your docs doesn’t help me.
Thanks
