Hi, I've noticed that the filter behaves differently with custom taxonomies than it does with native WooCommerce product tags. Has the plugin been created this way or am I being an idiot.

Disable swoof influence (YES)

I have registered a custom taxonomy"manufacturers" to tag each product with the appropriate manufacturer. If I am currently on a product category (e.g Shop/Mowers) When I select a manufacturer (e.g Honda) when filtering, when the page refreshes, instead of still being on the the page Shop/Machinery I am now on Shop/Manufacturers/Honda. Now if I change the product category in the filter, the page refreshes and I am still on Shop/Manufacturers/Honda.

On the other hand, the same scenario, I'm on the same product category (e.g Shop/Mowers) when I select a native woocommerce product tag when filtering, when the page refreshes, I am still on Shop/Machinery and the product tag has been filtered. This is the behaviour I want with my custom taxonomy manufacturers.

On product category Mowers:

Filter by custom taxonomy"manufacturer":

Filter by woocommerce product tag:

Hello

To display the result, the filter uses a shop template. Disable swoof influence (YES) -  This option disables it.

Now that taxonomy exists in the search query, woocommerce uses the archive template.

So please  use: Disable swoof influence (No)

Hi, thanks for the help.

If I use: Disable swoof influence (No) if the user is on any product category page (e.g Shop All/Mowers) and filters you are taken back to the shop base Shop All (which I assume is the filters shop template?) Is there a way to make it so when you filter from a product category page you are not redirected back to the Shop base Shop All?

On category page:

Filter custom taxonomy manufacturers:

Hello

are not redirected back to the Shop base Shop All? - The user remains on the categories page. The filter uses a different template (I described it above)

You can  test  it.  Disable  my  plugin  and  try  this search  link - https://c2n.me/45OmwIs.png

Unfortunately, we cannot change this behavior.
