Elementor product loop grid issue

Hi Ville (@villee),

At the moment, the filter terms themselves aren’t loaded selectively based on the archive, but you can achieve this by using the same filter I have implemented on the plugin’s website. To make it work, give a Query ID to your filter under Filter > Filter Query ID (in this example, archive_filter) and drop the following function into your functions.php file:

add_filter( 'bpfwe/get_terms_args/archive_filter', function( $args, $widget ) {
    global $wp_query;

    $post_type = null;
    $post_ids = [];

    if ( is_singular() ) {
        $post_type = get_post_type();
        $post_ids = [ get_the_ID() ];
    } elseif ( is_post_type_archive() ) {
        $post_type = $wp_query->get( 'post_type' );
        if ( isset( $wp_query->posts ) && ! empty( $wp_query->posts ) ) {
            $post_ids = wp_list_pluck( $wp_query->posts, 'ID' );
        }
    } elseif ( is_tax() || is_category() || is_tag() ) {
        if ( is_category() ) {
            $taxonomy_name = 'category';
        } elseif ( is_tag() ) {
            $taxonomy_name = 'post_tag';
        } else {
            $taxonomy_name = $wp_query->get( 'taxonomy' );
        }

        $taxonomy_obj = get_taxonomy( $taxonomy_name );
        if ( $taxonomy_obj && ! empty( $taxonomy_obj->object_type ) ) {
            $post_type = $taxonomy_obj->object_type[0]; // Use the first associated post type if multiple.
        } else {
            $post_type = 'post'; // Fallback to 'post' if undetermined.
        }

        if ( isset( $wp_query->posts ) && ! empty( $wp_query->posts ) ) {
            $post_ids = wp_list_pluck( $wp_query->posts, 'ID' );
        }
    } else {
        return $args;
    }

    if ( empty( $post_ids ) || empty( $post_type ) ) {
        return $args;
    }

    $taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies( $post_type );

    if ( empty( $taxonomies ) ) {
        return $args;
    }

    $related_term_ids = [];

    foreach ( $taxonomies as $tax ) {
        $terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post_ids, $tax, [ 'fields' => 'ids' ] );
        if ( ! is_wp_error( $terms ) && ! empty( $terms ) ) {
            $related_term_ids = array_merge( $related_term_ids, $terms );
            // Add ancestors for hierarchical taxonomies.
            if ( is_taxonomy_hierarchical( $tax ) ) {
                foreach ( $terms as $term_id ) {
                    $ancestors = get_ancestors( $term_id, $tax, 'taxonomy' );
                    if ( ! empty( $ancestors ) ) {
                        $related_term_ids = array_merge( $related_term_ids, $ancestors );
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    if ( ! empty( $related_term_ids ) ) {
        $args['include'] = array_unique( $related_term_ids );
    }

    return $args;
}, 10, 2 );

The result should be similar to what you see on this page: https://wpsmartwidgets.com/color/red/, where unrelated terms are pre-filtered automatically.

Please let me know if this solution works for you.

Hi Ville (@villee),

Thanks for testing the filter. To make things more user-friendly, I’ll be adding a new toggle to the plugin, alongside Dynamic Archive Filtering option, that will also filter the taxonomy term lists.

When enabled, this will automatically exclude terms that aren’t relevant to the current archive query, so the Query ID won’t be necessary for cases like those. This way, empty brands won’t appear if you want them hidden, but you can keep all terms visible if preferred.

This feature will be included in the upcoming version, along with some other improvements. In the meantime, let me know if there’s anything else I can help with.

Regards,
Dara
