Hi Sitejet team! I’ve reviewed the help document and I’m quite certain I’ve built my URL filters properly, but they don’t seem to be working.

Here is the page: [1e5753-5291f.preview.sitejet.io/shop](https://1e5753-5291f.preview.sitejet.io/shop)

You can see I have a row of links at the top saying “all products” “free resources” etc., but when I click on them, the URL filter doesn’t get applied to the collection items. I also triple-checked that I have “consider URL filters” checked in the collection settings.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi! I think there **is a bug** on the Sitejet side(in the JavaScript library).  
It doesn’t support URL filters with columns that include “-” **hyphens**.

So in your example:

```auto
!filter[columns.product-type]=Course

```

… **product-type** filter is ignored.

So… I guess there are 2 options:

1. Rename the column key so it doesn’t inlcude any hyphens.
2. Let Sitejet release a fix

Hope this helps!

@Lucian_Dinu @Andre Okay, thank you both! I’m glad it wasn’t just me being dumb 😆 For now I’ll rename the column to not include the hyphen. Thanks again!
