Pre-Select Category in Search

[Florian]

Hello everyone,

I need your support concerning the following issue:

I tried to pre-select a category in my search form and used the code from the following thread:

https://docsdep.geomywp.com/forums-site/topic/how-to-insert-form-with-pre-selected-category-wo-hiding-the-other-choices/

Code Snippet including my changes:

gmw_preset_term_taxonomy( $args, $gmw, $taxonomy ) { //verify the form ID. //i changed it from 1 to 2 if ( $gmw['ID'] != 2 ) return $args; //only apply this if for is not submitted. if ( $gmw['submitted'] == true ) return $args; //verify the category dropdown. //change "category" to the taxonomy you'd like to apply the filter for -> I didn't change anything here because category is correct if ( $args['taxonomy'] != 'category' ) return $args; //set the selected term that you'd like to pre-set. //I changed the value from 1 to 22 (my pre-selected category) $args['selected'] = 22; //return the new aruments. return $args; } add_filter( 'gmw_pt_dropdown_taxonomy_args', 'gmw_preset_term_taxonomy', 50, 3 );

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

gmw_preset_term_taxonomy( $args, $gmw, $taxonomy ) { //verify the form ID. //i changed it from 1 to 2 if ( $gmw['ID'] != 2 ) return $args; //only apply this if for is not submitted. if ( $gmw['submitted'] == true ) return $args; //verify the category dropdown. //change "category" to the taxonomy you'd like to apply the filter for -> I didn't change anything here because category is correct if ( $args['taxonomy'] != 'category' ) return $args; //set the selected term that you'd like to pre-set. //I changed the value from 1 to 22 (my pre-selected category) $args['selected'] = 22; //return the new aruments. return $args; } add_filter( 'gmw_pt_dropdown_taxonomy_args', 'gmw_preset_term_taxonomy', 50, 3 );

Could you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Maybe this code snippet from 2015 doesn’t work any more?

Thanks in advance,
Florian

Hello Florian,

Please replace your script with the below and see if it works:

function gmw_preset_term_taxonomy( $args, $taxonomy, $gmw ) { // verify the form ID. //i changed it from 1 to 2 if ( $gmw['ID'] != 2 ) { return $args; } // only apply this if for is not submitted. if ( $gmw['submitted'] == true ) { return $args; } //verify the category dropdown. //change "category" to the taxonomy you'd like to apply the filter for -> I didn't change anything here because category is correct if ( $args['taxonomy'] != 'category' ) { return $args; } //set the selected term that you'd like to pre-set. //I changed the value from 1 to 22 (my pre-selected category) $args['selected'] = array( 22 ); //return the new aruments. return $args; } add_filter( 'gmw_search_form_dropdown_taxonomy_args', 'gmw_preset_term_taxonomy', 50, 3 );

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27

function gmw_preset_term_taxonomy( $args, $taxonomy, $gmw ) { // verify the form ID. //i changed it from 1 to 2 if ( $gmw['ID'] != 2 ) { return $args; } // only apply this if for is not submitted. if ( $gmw['submitted'] == true ) { return $args; } //verify the category dropdown. //change "category" to the taxonomy you'd like to apply the filter for -> I didn't change anything here because category is correct if ( $args['taxonomy'] != 'category' ) { return $args; } //set the selected term that you'd like to pre-set. //I changed the value from 1 to 22 (my pre-selected category) $args['selected'] = array( 22 ); //return the new aruments. return $args; } add_filter( 'gmw_search_form_dropdown_taxonomy_args', 'gmw_preset_term_taxonomy', 50, 3 );
