Price slider amount label doesn’t update to active currency (FOX Currency Switcher)

Hi again,

While waiting on this issue, I found a related problem with the “Spotlight Categories” widget (the row of circular category icons) that seems to share the same root cause as the price slider label issue: XStore’s AJAX category filtering does not replace the previous selection — it accumulates it.

Steps to reproduce:

Go to a category page that uses the “Spotlight Categories” widget (row of category icons).
Click a different category icon (e.g. “Aspiradoras”).
Click another one (e.g. “Audio”).
Click a third one (e.g. “Cables y Bases”).

Expected: the filter/URL should update to reflect only the last-clicked category.

Actual: the URL keeps accumulating every category clicked in the session, e.g.:
?filter_cat=cables-y-bases,audio,aspiradoras

This gets worse the more categories the customer clicks through, and it also fails when a selected category has subcategories: the filter looks for an exact category match rather than including products from child categories, so it can return “no products found” even though the direct category archive page (e.g. /categoria-producto/apple/) correctly shows products from all subcategories.

is there a way to make a new category click replace the previous filter selection instead of adding to it? And is there a way to make this AJAX filter respect parent/child category relationships the same way the direct category archive page does?

I suspect it’s the same underlying AJAX re-render behavior causing the price slider issue as well.

Thanks!

Hello Jack,

Thank you for the reply. Regarding the Spotlight Categories filter, I applied the fix you shared (add_filter(‘etheme_dynamic_categories_filter_cat_merge’, ‘__return_false’);) and it’s working correctly now — that issue is resolved.

Regarding the price slider label issue, I’m attaching a video showing the problem in the private field below.

In the video you can see that the price loads correctly in ARS on the initial page load, but as soon as I interact with the price filter (slider), the label switches to USD instead of staying in ARS. The filtering itself still works correctly (it returns the right products) — only the visible label text is affected.

Thanks for the support! My topic “Price slider amount label doesn’t update to active currency (FOX Currency Switcher)” has been successfully resolved.
