Yes, it breaks and it should not. How can the user go back to the initial state other then F5?
I am using the table to only show the Downloads for Kids and offer subcategories in the drop down. Clicking on all categories then shows also adult downloads. This breaks the idea of the filtered table for me.
by the way: on this demo page the initial pageload loads all packages and the drop down offers a drill down. That makes more sense. In my case I have set in the shortcode to only include 2 categories initially as a filter and this filter only works on first page load and then breaks after click.

For me there is no benefit. I offer a filtered view, so the visitor must not see irrelevant categories and then the user gets lost in many categories with no way back then F5.
At least I think you should NOT add this as the default value in the drop down. This is confusing and there should be a neutral default value.
Please kindly check.
I can hide that on my own with CSS but then the user has no option to go back to the initial page. It should just behave consistently and reset to the default view from the pageload.
Yes! I already said that “all categories” from the dropdown is loading all packages from the whole website from ALL categories that are not part of the filter/Short code! But not on page load but after coming back from another option in the drop down. And this is a Bug. Can you please give this to a dev?
Well for me this is just a bug. The behavior of the same button changes for no reason.
With all respect, your explanation “As it is option for showing all categories packages it will do so.” makes no sense here:
1. It initially on first load says “all categories” but shows only the 2 from the filter, not all.
2. Please click “all categories” as first action. Nothing happens! It wont load all categories as you say.
This only happens, when switching through the options and going back to the default value, which then acts differently for no reason.

Yes I know how to reload the page but as a user you dont accept this behavior as you just restore the inital value in the dropdown with a different behavior at the second time. So you dont see the UX problem here?
Gabriel
Thanks for the quick reply.
On the initial load of the page “all categories” is active by default, and it is not showing all categories of the whole website but the 2 from the short code filter. So why would this behavior change when choosing this filter again later? There is no way back for the user to the first initial view. Doesn’t that break the idea of having a prefiltered table?

Hey, well I need the filter. That wasnt the problem.
Again:
On initial load it only shows the packages from the 2 assigned Categories correct
Once I choose a Category from the drop down it only shows those category packages correct
Choosing “all categories” after that in the drop down it shows all packages from all 4! categories of my website and not from the 2 assigned in the short code filter like on the initial load of the page NOT correct
Gabriel
Same here, I also used and need the ?wpdmc=category in the url to preselect a category in a link from another page. Will it come back?

Yes Tanner there is a walkaround – not sure why Shaon isnt pointing to it and I am also not sure why it takes so long to add that into an update. Support isnt that helpful.
Try that:
For A4 with no page breaks add this line in wp-content\plugins\wpdm-pdf-stamper\wpdm-pdf-stampers.php
near line 323 after //die($text);
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(false);
For UTF-8, update right after that line:
$pdf->MultiCell(0, $font_offset, $text,0,$align);
into –>
$pdf->MultiCell(0, $font_offset, utf8_decode($text),0,$align);

Also there seems to be no chance to have the stamp with 5mm padding to the bottom! Whatever I try it looks like it breaks into a new page way to early. Why is that? I tried all options on a A4 Page. At 27mm it already breaks into a new page.
