and try to filter the results by attributes, it goes to the 404 page or nothing happens
furthermore, fww pretty permalinks are not working with the search queries, there are still parametrized links ?taxonomy=termid like:
https://foundthru.com/product-category?filter_flavour=160&s=bowl&post_type=product
it should be:
https://foundthru.com/product-category/beef/?s=bowl&post_type=product
so we can easily remove the search query from existing filter widget (I believe you can add this feature) and go back to the seo friendly url:
https://foundthru.com/product-category/beef/

This has been fixed in 2.18 but more testing is required, particularly in conjunction with Super Speedy Search.
You can test it over on https://foundthru.com/?s=bowl&post_type=product
Now as you’re looking for you can see:
1. /product-category/dogs/?s=bowl works
2. If you click a filter FIRST rather than a product category, it will use the permalinkbase from FWW settings page.
I’ve been working all day on FWW bug fixes, but some more testing is required to make me rest assured that the changes I’ve made aren’t breaking anything else.
I’m intending to set up Selenium to handle regression testing so that I don’t have to worry about bug fixes breaking things from the past.
Let me know what you think of the fixes over on foundthru.

It seems to be working fine. Good job!
Could you please:
1) test this case – if a search query exists, and the category filter is removed (product-category widget set to not reset) and there is no additional attribute filter does it go to the shop base url?
2) remove category description if a search query exists: https://foundthru.com/product-category/dogs/?s=bowl
3) add the current search string to the h1 title and as an existing filter that is removable through a click?
Thank you.

1. Yes, just finished this fix – if last filter is removed, it goes to search URL (not necessarily the shop base, depends your config)
2. Ok, I’ll add this now
3. Ok – I’ll add the search string to the h1 title, and I’ve already added the search string as a removable filter to the existing filters widget

I found another wrong url in the existing filter widget:

1) This has been not fixed. It goes to the 404 page:
https://foundthru.com/filter/?s=bowl
http://prntscr.com/o6frno
https://foundthru.com/product-category/dogs/?s=bowl

It is not a big thing, but ‘?post_type=product’ should be removed.

If post_type=product is removed, it won’t know which template to use.
See https://foundthru.com/?s=bowl&post_type=product vs https://foundthru.com/?s=bowl

1. You are right, but if the search query is the last filter and is removed, shouldn’t it point to the shop base?
a. https://foundthru.com/?s=bowl&post_type=product
b. remove the ‘bowl’ from the existing filter widget
c. it goes to: https://foundthru.com/?post_type=product, I think: https://foundthru.com/shop would be better
2. If the search query exists and last filter is removed it has wrong permalink base:
a. https://foundthru.com/product-category/dogs/?s=bowl
b. remove the dogs category from the existing filter widget
c. there is wrong permalink base (fww_base/?=search_query), it goes to the 404 page: https://foundthru.com/filter/?s=bowl http://prntscr.com/o7baft
3. BTW. Could you please tell me when can I expect the next FWW update with the feature requests?
