Issue: JetSmartFilters taxonomy filter does not update when using Elementor Loop Grid (Current Query) #2
Description
When JetSmartFilters taxonomy filters are used with Elementor Pro Loop Grid set to Source: Current Query, the initial taxonomy filter applied via URL or archive page becomes locked. Selecting another filter updates the UI but does not update the displayed posts.
Environment:
WordPress: latest
Elementor Pro: latest
JetSmartFilters: latest
Setup
Loop Grid
Source: Current Query
Custom Query ID: filter-1
JetSmartFilters
Filter type: Checkbox (taxonomy: category)
Multiple select: ON
Apply type: Reload / Mixed
Relational operator: UNION or AND
Steps to Reproduce
Open a category page built with Elementor Loop Grid
Initial category filter is applied via URL/archive
Select another category in JetSmartFilters
Expected
The new filter replaces the previous one
Posts update accordingly
Actual
Filter UI updates
Posts remain filtered by the initial category
Example URLs Generated
?jsf=epro-loop-builder:filter-1&tax=category:10,29
or
?plain_query=filter-1:10,28,operator_AND
Notes
Changing relational operator does not fix the issue
Works only if Loop Grid source is changed from Current Query to Posts
Appears to be a conflict between JetSmartFilters taxonomy URLs and Elementor’s Current Query
