Display post from a category

Question

I am not php developer and I need to modify a theme, concretely the area has different categories, for example: "Adopted cats" and "Adopted dogs" both are in the same page, at the moment with categories tag I can be able to filter correctly but When I navigate (I have next and previous post button) it is not filtering correctly.

I have found this code in the theme :

<div id="portfolio-full-width">
<?php
$args = array(
    'number_of_columns' => 4,
    'image_size' => 'large-thumb',
    'posts_per_page' => 50,
    'filterable' => true
);

mo_display_portfolio_content($args);
?>

and the mo_display_portfolio_content code:

function mo_display_portfolio_content($args) {
global $mo_theme;

$mo_theme->set_context('loop', 'portfolio'); // tells the thumbnail functions to prepare lightbox constructs for the image

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 0; // Do NOT paginate

$args['query_args'] = array('post_type' => 'portfolio', 'posts_per_page' => $args['posts_per_page'], 'filterable' => $args['filterable'], 'paged' => $paged);

mo_display_portfolio_content_grid_style($args);

$mo_theme->set_context('loop', null); //reset it

}

First question: How to modify and what is the code for this purpose??

Thank you in advance for your help.

I think that when you are filtering, you are using an onpage action that hides what is not on the category clicked (done with JavaScript, usually with jQuery), and when you go to another page, you are getting a new page from the server, so your filter disappear.

I think that this behaviour is ok, and to acomplish what you expect, you need to implement a search form, where you can specify the category parameter for cats and dogs.
