The illogical functionality of the “apply” button in the product filter.

Hello.

Why is the “Apply” button displayed in attribute filters if, when selecting a value, the filter works without clicking the button?
How can this be fixed? After all, the “Apply” button makes no sense in this case.

Hello,

Is there any chance that you could give me access to the dashboard area so I can check the settings there?

Looking forward to collaborating with you!

Kind Regards

Yes, of course.
I have attached a login and password to log in.

Hello,

Try to use the code below for help:

.filters-area .wd-widget .wd-widget-layered-nav-dropdown__submit {
    display: none;
}

Kind Regards

Well, I could have hidden these elements myself)
I expected that the setting from my personal account would be shown, which would disable unnecessary calls to this function.

In this case, confirm the permission for plugins deactivation and switching to the parent theme for testing.

If you have a staging site, please send access to it.

Thank you in advance.

Kind Regards

Will it be possible to do this on the 28th and 29th?
We have advertising on our website, and it would be undesirable to break it in the middle of the week.

Navigate to Theme Settings -> Product archive -> enable the “AJAX shop” option – https://prnt.sc/-8XTwWjKg3-j

Then, clear the cache and recheck the issue. Let me know if such a solution suits you.

Kind Regards

I have enabled the “AJAX shop” but it didn’t change anything. You can see for yourself.

Changed!

The only difference is that now the filter does not work after selecting a value before clicking the “Apply” button. This is a partial solution! After all, there is now an “Apply” button under each filter, and this is misleading. For example, a user wants to select several parameters from different filters and does not click on any of the “Apply” buttons yet, and after he has set all the values of the necessary filters, he clicks on “Apply” (any of the filters) and gets only one filtered parameter. This is inconvenient, it would be more convenient if the user could select the parameter values and click a single “Apply” button, and all the filters would be applied. Well, or another option, so that the filters work logically, like selecting a category, when selecting the filter value, an AJAX request is sent. Two options! Either with one “Apply” button, or without the “Apply” button, but with an AJAX filter. And your option is some kind of half—measure.

Hello,

In general, filter functionality comes from WooCommerce, so could you please check how it works with the default filter by attribute widget?

Kind Regards

The default attribute filter from Woo gives the same result. I understand your hint, in this case, the most acceptable and fastest option for me is to use “display: none” for the “Apply” buttons. Thank you for participating. Perhaps in future updates you will have something more convenient about these widgets in terms of user experience.

Hello,

Thank you for confirming the results with the default WooCommerce filter. We appreciate your understanding and feedback on the issue.

Kind Regards
