Ajax Filters

I manually installed update 9.7.9, but I didn't understand how to use these filters. Which widget should I place on the page in Elementor? For now, I just want to add a filter alongside the products component. Note: I created a page template for each product category (since there were different sections). So, I have a category hierarchy with subcategories: Root: -> Essential Oils + Organic EO + Conventional EO -> CEF + CEF Blue Series + CEF Green Series + CEF Purple Series + ... -> Diffusers On the "CEF" products page, I only want to display the CEF products; I don't want the option to navigate back to the root or display products other than the CEFs.

Hello Marc, Thank you for reaching out and providing these details! To use the new Ajax filters with Elementor in version 9.7.9, you need to look for the specific XStore Ajax Filters widget (or WooCommerce filter widgets provided within the XStore builder elements) in your Elementor widget panel. Make sure you are using it alongside the Archive Products or Products widget, ensuring they share the same query context. Regarding your category template structure for "CEF" (and to prevent it from showing root categories or unrelated items), here are a few tips to configure it properly: 1. Query Settings: In your Elementor Products/Archive widget settings, ensure the query source is set specifically to **Current Query** (if using a dynamic Archive Template assigned to that category) or explicitly filter the product category to "CEF" so it locks the scope to that specific category. 2. Breadcrumbs / Navigation: If you want to hide the root navigation links or category switcher, check the XStore layout options or widget settings for the breadcrumbs/category title element and toggle off the parent/root category links.
