Odd Attribute Filter Widget

Hi,

I have a pretty crazy situation with this widget in the sidebar and I have to deliver by end of this week, so I’d be happy if you could at least give me some ideas.

Situation: products will have 3 categories and 1 or 2 attributes as follows:
1) one is Artist Name (Name Künstler) – that is only used for the widget filter – all products have it.
To test, I have set up 3 products (one per category), each have this attribute but different values: Abc, Bcd, Cde (see product name).

2) the second attribute will be used only for one category of products (Plakate) to generate 2 variations.
Only this attribute is allowed to show variation options on the frontend (product single page).

On the Shop page I can see in the widget dropdown all 3 values of the (first) artist attribute and filter is working ok.

Out of the 3 category pages only one category page shows the filter widget: category is Künstlereditionen, product “3_test_Kunstler_Cde, attribute “Cde”.

From the other 2 category pages (Plakate, Künstlereditionen) the widget is missing as if there is no matching product, yet you can see the products in the loop and all are ‘on stock’.

Menu item “Producte” is a parent category for the 3 categories. It is only showing the “Cde” attribute in the widget dropdown…

Please excuse the German pages, didn’t have time to translate yet.

Thank you for your time,
BG Anders
