Hi,

I’ve installed CMS Filters on a dozen websistes, but this time it doesn’t work and I can’t understand why…

Could you please have a look?

Hey @pablo.faust!

There are 2 issues with the current setup.

1. The `fs-list-element="filters"` attribute is placed directly on the filter buttons collection list; you should move it to either the From Block or the Form Block Wrapper elements.  

2. You have defined an instance on the main collection; however, the filters do not have an instance definition. You can add the same attribute and value to the filter wrapper or use a common parent element to define the instance for both the filter and the collection list.  

Let me know if you have any other issues!
