Hey @claudiabradley123! We’ve seen this exact pattern before and the fix is pretty straightforward 💪 The most common cause here — filter works at first, then shows 0 results after selecting and deselecting a second filter group — is that your checkbox filter groups are sharing the same **Name** in Webflow’s settings. When two groups share the same Name, they interfere with each other. Deselecting all checkboxes in one group sends a conflicting signal that overrides the other group’s active selection, leaving you with 0 results. The rule is: checkboxes _within the same group_ share a Name, but _different groups_ must each have their own unique Name. Here’s what to check on your case studies filter page: 1. Open the Webflow Designer and go to your case studies/filter page (the HTML you shared was from your homepage — the fix needs to be applied on the page where the filters actually live). 2. Select any checkbox in your **Product Category** group → open the **Settings panel** → look at the **Name** field. 3. Do the same for any checkbox in your **Project Category** group. 4. If both groups share the same Name (Webflow defaults everything to `Checkbox`), that’s your issue. 5. Give each group a distinct Name — for example, set all Product Category checkboxes to `product-category` and all Project Category checkboxes to `project-category`. Quick reminder on the two rules: - Checkboxes **within** the same filter group → same Name - Checkboxes in **different** filter groups → different Names Also worth checking that no other form element on the page shares a Name with any of your filter groups. Publish and test after making the change — Attributes only runs on the published site, not in Preview mode. If the issue persists, drop a read-only link to the specific filter page (not the homepage) and we’ll dig deeper 🙏 ---

Hi Finn, I can confirm the names are all set up correctly from what i can see, different names for different groups. When I open the read only link it takes me right to the Case Studies page (filter page), does it go to the homepage on your end? If you still get the homepage then its the Case Studies link on the navbar if you’re able to navigate to that on your end. Would appreciate you having a look, thanks! > **[modutherm](https://preview.webflow.com/preview/modutherm?utm_medium=preview_link&utm_source=designer&utm_content=modutherm&preview=5c878ad5d3268b2f52776af8a18de0d3&pageId=699f5fbc24ca26b8ea8ae4d7&workflow=preview)** > > Design and build on Webflow ---

Hi @claudiabradley123 How are you doing? I checked the site, it looked like it worked at first but there’s still this issue of the checkboxes on both the `Product Category` and `Project Category` sharing the same name Here are a couple of screens showing this `Product Category` ![modutherm-product-category-05-09-20260857PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/finsweet1/original/2X/7/7aef2b79fdd733b5dc9470e1df2a3642498d01ee.jpeg) `Project Category` ![modutherm-project-category-05-09-20260858PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/finsweet1/original/2X/d/daa255cd0912ca3c66f9b59c0e061cc1ba1808aa.jpeg) Please update the naming as @Support-Finn suggested > Give each group a distinct Name — for example, set all Product Category checkboxes to `product-category` and all Project Category checkboxes to `project-category` Let us know, thanks
