# Category shortcode and selection not combinable

 * Hello,
 * we assigned our jobs to specific categories (e.g. Industry). Then we show the
   jobs on a page with this shortcode [jobs categories=”Industry”].
    Unfortunately
   with this shortcode the selection of other categories disappears. When we just
   use the shortcode [jobs] the category selection is still visible.
 * It would work with a URL query string, but this isn’t an option for us. Is there
   any other solution to use the category shortcode and still have the selection
   of other categories in the front end?
 * Best regards

 * Hi [@binok](https://wordpress.org/support/users/binok/) !
 * Unfortunately, there is no other option except to use the URL query.
 * I’m not sure if a plugin such as [Search and Filtering for WP Job Manager](https://plugins.smyl.es/wp-job-manager-search-and-filtering)
   could help you. I know it has many filtering options but I’m not sure if it can
   do what you need.
