An example to illustrate this:
I have products in my shop with 2 categories with partly common, partly different keywords
– Category 1 ( keyword-1-1, keyword-1-2, keyword-3, …) – 25 items
– Category 2 ( keyword-2-1, keyword-2-2, keyword-3, …) – 50 items
A total of 75 items.
I would like to set 2 category specific product filters for the main catalog page in the sidebar, where the category is preselected (default) and the display of the product catalog is restricted by the selection of keywords:
filter 1
—
Category 1 preselected (default) – is not displayed in the frontend
– Keyword-1-1 (checkbox)
– Keyword-1-2 (checkbox)
– Keyword-3 (checkbox)
and
filter 1
—
Category 2 preselected (default) – is not displayed in the frontend
– Keyword-2-1 (checkbox)
– Keyword-2-2 (checkbox)
– Keyword-3 (checkbox)
No sooner said than done. So I create 2 new filters in the backend, each with a Product_Categories and Product_Tags widget.
In the widget Product_Categories I enter
a) under ‘Product Categories’ enter the name of Category 1, and
b) under ‘Make selected categories as default’ I set the switch to ‘on’.

When I go to the All-Products catalog page https://my-domain.com/shop without clicking a filter button, all 50 items of category 2 are displayed.

You would have to display 75 items – all items of category 1 and category 2 if no filter button was clicked.
If I remove the category 2 filter, only the 25 items of category 1 will be displayed when I visit https://my-domain.com/shop.

Apparently, setting the filters in the sidebar interferes with the general product query of the woocommerce shop, which selects all shop products. This must definitely not be the case!
Could you please check this.
As it is implemented now, the option ‘Make selected categories as default’ makes absolutely no sense. The same applies to the tags …
