Brand filter URL showing ID instead of slug

Hello Team,

I am using the Woodmart theme on my website and noticed a difference between your demo filter URLs and my website URLs.

Your demo URL:
https://woodmart.xtemos.com/furniture2/shop/?filter_brand=enza-home

My website URL:
/shop/?filter_product_brand=56

On my website, the filter parameter is showing the brand ID instead of the brand slug.

I would like to achieve the same URL structure as your demo, where the brand slug is used instead of the numeric ID.

Could you please guide me on:

1. How to configure the brand filter to use slugs instead of IDs
2. How to change filter_product_brand=56 to something like filter_brand=brand-slug
3. Whether this requires a specific Woodmart setting or plugin configuration

Thank you.

Hello,

Please use the WoodMart Product Attribute “Brand” instead of the product brand system.

When you use the attribute-based brand, the filter will generate slug URLs and will work the same as our demo site.

Here is the guide: https://xtemos.com/docs-topic/product-brands/

Best Regards

Respected,

I didn’t change anything in the theme functionality. I only imported the demo theme and removed some unwanted sections.

The brands were already imported using the taxonomy from this page:
wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=product_brand&post_type=product

While adding products, there is already a Brand checkbox available, and on the product edit page there is also a Brand selection section in the right sidebar.

If you are suggesting that I should use Attributes for brands instead, then I would need to:

* Select the brand twice
* Create and maintain the same brand names again inside Attributes

Currently, on the customer side, we are displaying:

* A small brand image beside the product name
* A brand description at the bottom based on the taxonomy

and one more thing, why was this “brand attribute” functionality not imported during the demo import if the theme requires it?

Hello,

I checked this on our test site by importing the same demo, and I can confirm that the demo uses the WoodMart “Brand” attribute system for the filter URLs.

But if you want the filter URLs to work like the demo (filter_brand=brand-slug), you need to create and use the Product Attribute “Brand” and then set it in:

Theme Settings > Shop > Brands

After assigning the Brand attribute there, WoodMart will use that attribute across the theme filters and generate slug-based URLs like the demo site.

Best Regards
