I’m working in WordPress and I have a custom search that grabs values from the form and then creates a header(Location:…) url with it. For example, ?taxonomy1=whatever&taxonomy2=whatever.
I was looking for a way to provide the user with sort options once they’ve done a search.
I know that if I type orderby and order parameters in the url it works. Basically if I type orderby=title&order=asc to the end of the current url it works perfectly.
So I was looking for a way to append those to the url when a user selects the sort option from a drop down. So it would end up being ?taxonomy1=whatever&taxonomy2=whatever&orderby=title&order=asc.
The problem I’m running into is that the previous parameters that were posted to the url no longer remain once I try to append the orderby and order parameters.
For example, I tried using:
Order By Title (ASC)
That works great on the current url you’re on like if you visited an archive page. But if that url contained search parameters like it would when performing my custom search, it won’t work because those previous search parameters are removed and you’re left with the root url with the orderby and order parameters appended to the end.
