RE: i thought i’d get an email when someone responded.
Yes, this should happen, perhaps it was block and filtered into your spam/junk mail folder.
Ahhh… I see. The the permalink /cat/arts-entertainment/photography/ for the will override the category shortcode filter so it is possible to display the selected category.
I’m guess the intent is to only display the entries with both 144 (Golden [a location]) and the chosen category (business type). Correct?
This is possible but not by using the permalinks. I see you’ve made your own category menu… If you update the links to use queries instead of permalinks this will work. Here’s a working example:
https://columbiavalley.com/directory/golden/?cn-cat-in%5B%5D=144&cn-cat-in%5B%5D=164
Hope this makes sense, let me know.
