 * Hi,
 * We are using Woocommerce to display our products.
 * When customers filter our products, they can end up with a query string like 
   this:
    [http://www.burgerbar.dk/shop/?filter_farve-type=103&filter_land=51](http://www.burgerbar.dk/shop/?filter_farve-type=103&filter_land=51)
 * In our code, we have no problems accessing the land parameter like this:
    $land
   = $_GET[filter_land];
 * But we can’t access the farve/type parameter, despite calling it in the same 
   way:
    $farvetype = $_GET[filter_farve-type];
 * I have some idea that the problem is the “-“, but if I remove it from the attribute
   slug, we end up creating a lot of other problems (i.e. I will prefer to not have
   to remove it)
 * So can anyone tell me how to fix things, so we can access the farve/type parameter
   without changing the attribute slug?
 * Thanks,
    Mads
