I have read the existing posts on collection filters, but I still can’t get them to work.  
Site: [Projects - Peter James Mikhail](https://peterjamesmikhail.com/projects)

My collection listing setting:

My first two buttons:

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Could you let me know the Website ID and where I would find the button with the filter? Happy to check that for you.

Not sure what the website ID would be. From CPanel, the link to edit is: [Login](https://cms.sitehub.io/1078295)

Page with buttons: [Projects - Peter James Mikhail](https://peterjamesmikhail.com/projects/)  
Buttons are under the “Performance Type” container.

Hey Sami,

I did check upon the filter and added them again and it seems to work. But please be aware that you have enough items to display. Also, on the live website it will work when you save and publish again.

Please let me know if it works for you as well now. 🙂

Andre,

Thanks.

New issue: The collection contents are not getting rendered. Tested in Edge, Chrome and Firefox and Firefox for Android.

In debug console, I see the correct call being made: [https://peterjamesmikhail.com/api.php/collection/676dcbdea17f3611e4761997/items?order=columns.production-date\_DESC&limit=3&offset=0&paginate=true&filter[columns.medium]=Stage](https://peterjamesmikhail.com/api.php/collection/676dcbdea17f3611e4761997/items?order=columns.production-date_DESC&limit=3&offset=0&paginate=true&filter%5Bcolumns.medium%5D=Stage).

I see the correct content being returned from the call.

But nothing is getting rendered.

Edit: in Edge, toggling the class ed-collection-container off causes things to re-appear. (Sorry, I’m not real familiar with CSS…)

Apparently, copy and pasting the filter element and the collection listing into a new page is the solution.
