multiple checkbox dropdown issue with “force theme templates”

Have appreciated your plugin so far, and I notice you say “lifetime support” for the free version, which is remarkable.

On our Shop page, we have a filter using the widget for Elementor. It consists of:
-Product Categories – dropdown single select
-Attribute (size) – multiple dropdown (only applies to one product category)
-Stock status – dropdown

When we toggle “force theme templates” on, we can no longer select multiple sizes. (No results and “It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for”).

I tried putting our custom ID for the Elementor Archive Products widget in the Product Container Selector, and that doesn’t solve it.

Tried removing Ajax for full page reload. Same issue.

Tried “Recalculate filters” on and same behaviour.

To complicate things, the filter is working almost perfectly without toggling “force theme templates” on. So why am I doing that?

I’ve set up a function and css to show a rollover product image (first image from gallery) for archives. As soon as the shop page is filtered, the second image is no longer available, and hovering makes the image disappear altogether. Toggling on “Force theme templates” fixed this, at least until you try and choose more than one size.

The function and css are more-or-less cut-and-pasted, with my addition of wrapping everything inside the function in: if(is_archive()) {}

Hoping you have some insight.

Thanks!
