Can anybody help?



Why is this not working?



<form role="search" method="get" action="/">
<input type="text" name="s" placeholder="Search">
<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="product">
<input type="hidden" value="product_cat" name="the-journal-of-stained-glass" />
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>


It 'should' be filtering out search results that are only in the product category specified, but it's not.

          Hello you have mistaken in the code in the place of name in the input field you have provided value of the category and in the place of value you provided name. Please try as following.



          <form role="search" method="get" action="/">
          <input type="text" name="s" placeholder="Search">
          <input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="product">
          <input type="hidden" name="product_cat" value="the-journal-of-stained-glass" />
          <input type="submit" value="Go">
          </form>


          Please add this following in your functions.php in that please replace the taxonomy with your taxonomy



          function wc_hide_selected_terms( $terms, $taxonomies, $args ) {
          $new_terms = array();
          if ( in_array( 'product_cat', $taxonomies ) && !is_admin() && is_shop() ) {
          foreach ( $terms as $key => $term ) {
          if ( ! in_array( $term->slug, array( 'uncategorized' ) ) ) {
          $new_terms = $term;
          }
          }
          $terms = $new_terms;
          }
          return $terms;
          }
          add_filter( 'get_terms', 'wc_hide_selected_terms', 10, 3 );

          function advanced_search_query($query) {

          if($query->is_search()) {
          // category terms search.
          if (isset($_GET['product_cat']) && !empty($_GET['product_cat'])) {
          $query->set('tax_query', array(array(
          'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
          'field' => 'slug',
          'terms' => $_GET['product_cat'])
          ));
          }
          }
          return $query;
          }
          add_action('pre_get_posts', 'advanced_search_query', 1000);
