Layered Navigation issue on Magento 2.3 -

[donweb]

I am having a peculiar problem in my magento 2.3 store. Was not able to find a solution on the community thus far. Maybe I am missing something and someone can help.

1. Issue Number one -
   • When clicking on categories for filter on Layered navigation it uses default category links. However I want this to display category SEO friendly permalinks.
     • Currently it shows www.example.com/shop-parts.html?cat=244
     • But I want to display www.example.com/product-category
2. Issue 2 -
   • Filtering on categories doe not work beyond level 2
     • root/level 1 --> shop parts can be accessed from top navigation.
     • Level 2 --> A/C cooling filters properly
     • Level 3 + --> When clicking on subcategories of A/C Cooling. It does not provide any results. Product archives also do not change

Hi @donweb ,

can you specify if you are using any third-party extension for layered Navigation or this is default Magento Layered Navigation?

Hope this helps You!

We are using a theme named alothemes. 

Beyond that theme we do not have any 3rd party plugins for layered navigation

Although I tested with Luma theme and it still does not filter beyond Level 3. 

Filtering works for

Root / Level 1

Level 2

But starting Level 3... When you click on the filter it does not do anything.

Hi @donweb ,

In the Vanilla Magento 2.3.4 version on sample Data i have extended the categories levels to check the filter issue.

Example: My category Tree Now after some addition.

Women

 -- Tops

  --- Tees

   ---- Round Neck

   ------ Round 1

Filter is working on the Luma Magento Theme.

Make sure all the categories are is_achor YES and have some products assigned.

@Nishu Jindal 

We are using magento 2.3.2

Does this make a difference.

Every time I click on the the filters

it keeps adding %2C80  or %2C1670 etc.. and appends indefinitely to the end of the filters.
