For a seamless online shopping experience, every store needs to have an efficient filter function. Without this feature, customers may struggle to find specific items, leading to frustration. You streamline their shopping journey by allowing customers to filter products based on attributes like color or size. For ease, you can drag and drop the filters to rearrange the filters according to your preference.

The default product attributes, applicable to most products, are already listed in this section. Additionally, any product attributes will appear here once it’s added.

You’ll notice that any additional attributes you’ve added will be displayed after the default product attributes. Let’s see further what changes can be made in this section.

The price range feature lets users set a budget for products they’re interested in. You can describe this price setting and select icons to highlight this filter attribute.

Users have the flexibility to either use a slider to choose a price range visually or manually enter their desired minimum and maximum prices using specific input fields.

Let’s see how the range slider and range inputs look on your website.

Range Slider

There are 7 unique styles available for the range slider. You can check the demos here.

Range Input

You can select the description and a font icon for the review product filter as well.

When you apply a filter using numerical values, products matching that exact review count will be displayed. For instance, if you select products with more than 15 reviews, only items meeting that specific criteria will be shown.

Products having 15 reviews are displayed

The rating filter offers customization options where you can include a brief description and choose a specific font icon. This allows for a more descriptive presentation using concise information.

When you apply a rating filter, products will be displayed based on the star rating criteria you’ve chosen. For instance, selecting a 3-star rating or higher will prompt the system to showcase products that match or exceed this rating.

Products with 3-star rating and above

Enhance your On Sale filter section by applying descriptive text along with icons. This will inform customers that the showcased products are currently available at discounted prices for a limited time.

Let’s see how the product filter appears on your website

On Sale Product Filter

Incorporate a descriptive note within your In Stock filter section, accompanied by relevant icons. This will notify customers that the displayed products are currently available and ready for immediate purchase.

Product attributes are specific features describing a product, such as size, color, or material, helping customers understand its qualities.

Before diving into the settings, it’s essential to understand how to set up product filters. While there are some default filters available, you can customize and add more filters based on the attributes of your products. To add the filters

Go to Dashboard > Products > Attributes
Specify the attribute name, select the order type, add the slug, then click Add Attributes.

You can set specific terms for the attributes you’ve created. For instance, under the Color attribute, you can specify available options like Black, White, Blue, Red, and Purple for your product.
To set terms for your attributes, click on Configure terms of your product attribute. This will redirect you to a page where you can manage and add your product terms.
Specify the name and slug for your color term, then click Add New Color.

The Super Product WooCommerce Filter plugin enables additional configuration for these attributes. Click here to further modify this term.

The product attributes that you have added now will appear in the settings.

You can further make changes to the product attribute that you have added.

When you modify the attributes you’ve set, those filters will be displayed on the website. Choose to Show/ Hide the product count and search filter. Further select the display type, logic operator, order by, order type, display option, display condition as well as field orientation.

After you have made the necessary changes, preview how it will look on your site.

You can similarly add attributes and make the changes as you prefer.

A metabox is a customizable box that appears on the post, page, and product editing screen in the WordPress admin. It allows developers to add and manage additional custom fields or settings for posts, pages, or custom post types.

Super WooCommerce Product Filter supports metabox fields, allowing you to selectively display a metabox field within the filter and then filter products based on the selected options.

The plugin includes built-in support for the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin. You can find more details here.

Alternatively, if you’ve added a metabox using a plugin or custom code, you can also display it within filters. More information can be found here.

By default, you can customize the filter attributes. Add a title and description, then select the appropriate tile icon to display on the front end for a precise representation.

Similarly, you can also make changes in other default filters in the same way.

Beyond the default features, the Super WooCommerce Product Filter lets you modify your product filter attributes extensively. You can adjust the display type, options, conditions, field orientation, and more. To implement these changes:

Go to Dashboard > Super WooCommerce Product Filter.
Click on the Filter Tab.
For the demonstration purpose, we have added a color attribute. Let’s see the configuration that we can do on it.

Display Type

You can choose to display the product filter in these display types:

Radio

When displaying product attributes, you can use radio buttons as a user interface element. Radio buttons are designed for scenarios where users must select only one option from a given list. For instance, if users are choosing a specific product variant or a preferred payment method, they can select only one option at a time.

You can customize the radio box according to your preferences. There are 11 Radio box styles. To view demos of different radio box styles, click on this link.

You can customize the dropdown according to your preferences. There are 2 Dropdown styles available. To view demos of different dropdown styles, click on this link.

Multi Select

The multi-select feature enables users to choose multiple product specifications simultaneously. For example, when searching for a laptop with specific features like display type, RAM size, color, and brand, users can easily pinpoint their desired product using this function.

You can customize the multi select according to your preferences. There are 2 Multi Select styles you can choose from. To view demos of different multi select styles, click on this link.

Button

The button adds a descriptive label to the filters, enhancing their clarity. Filters are displayed within a bordered box for a more polished appearance.

You can customize the button according to your preferences. There are 5 Button Styles. To view demos of different button styles, click on this link.

Toggle

The toggle style in a product filter provides a user-friendly way to switch between different filter options. Users can easily activate or deactivate specific attributes or features with a simple toggle switch, enhancing the interactive experience and simplifying the filtering process.

You can customize the toggle according to your preferences. There are 5 Toggle Styles. To view demos of different toggle styles, click on this link.

The color option lets users select products by their desired color, presenting a visual spectrum of available shades. Additionally, you have the flexibility to display just the colors or include accompanying text alongside each shade.

Color With Label

Color Only

To view the demo of the color styles mentioned above, follow this link.

To add color to the product filter, click on Configure Term Options.

Here, you can select the color for the attribute and specify its name for precise identification.

Image with Label

Image Only

To view the demo of the image styles mentioned above, follow this link.

Show Product Count

This option allows users to see the number of products available for each filter selection, giving them an idea of the product volume within specific categories or criteria.

In the product filter, you can see how many of each product are available. To view the demo click on this link.

Display Search Filter

This feature provides users with a search bar within the product filter interface, enabling them to quickly find specific filter options or attributes without scrolling through a long list.

Logic Operator

Select either “AND” or “OR” as the logic operator. When “AND” is chosen, a product must meet all specified features to be included. In contrast, “OR” means a product can match one or more attributes without meeting all criteria.

Order By

You can also choose the criteria to sort by ID, Name, or Count.

Order Type

Choose how you want items to be arranged: either from the Ascending or from the Descending order.

Display Option

Within the display options, users have three choices to determine which items appear on the screen. The Display All setting showcases every available item without exception. On the other hand, selecting Include will only present the specific items you choose. Conversely, opting for Exclude will display everything except for the items you’ve selected to omit.

Display Condition

Users can set specific display conditions based on either Product Category or Product Tag. This means items will be shown or hidden according to the selected category or tag criteria, streamlining the viewing experience based on these parameters.

To view the demo for display condition when a certain category is selected.

Field Orientation

You have the flexibility to arrange filters either vertically or horizontally, depending on your preference for a streamlined appearance. If you opt for the vertical layout, you also can specify the number of columns for the filters, further customizing the display to suit your needs.

Horizontally Oriented Filters

Vertically Oriented Filters

Choose your preferred layout for displaying filters: opt for a single-column design for straightforward scrolling, a two-column setup for a balanced view, or a three-column layout to efficiently maximize space. Select based on your design preference and content volume to best suit your needs.

A step by step filter in WooCommerce simplifies product searches by presenting users with an initial set of product listings and filter options. Users select criteria such as category or price range, and the product listings are updated accordingly to reflect their choices. As users refine their search, additional filter options become available, allowing for further customization of the results.

The step by step filter can be shown in two formats. If you choose the option to hide the filter choices until the parent filter is chosen, the additional filter options won’t be visible. This approach encourages users to concentrate on selecting the primary category first before exploring further filters.

You’ll notice that only the parent filter is available without any other filter options to choose from. Let’s see what happens when we choose any one parent filter.

Here, you’ll notice that the filters are revealed only after selecting the main category. As users continue to make selections, additional filters will appear accordingly, providing a smoother and more guided filtering experience.

To see how the filters appear after selecting the main category, you can click on this demo page for a closer look.

On the other hand, if you choose not to hide the other filters until you pick the main category, all the filter labels related to that category will be visible. But you can only select the filter options after you’ve chosen the parent category.

Let’s see what happens when a parent filter is selected from the filter options available.

When you choose the main filter, the other filter choices pop up too. This lets users step through the filtering process smoothly, making their online experience more enjoyable.

To configure the different settings features of the product filter:

Go to Dashboard > Super WooCommerce Product Filter
Click on the Settings Tab.

Make changes in the respective fields.

The Show Only (Categories) option indicates that users can filter products solely by categories, excluding products from other categories. To display specific categories, the system provides an autogenerated shortcode for each filter you add. Let’s guide you through with examples to know how it works.

Adding Shortcode

To add a shortcode to display the selected categories in the field :

Go to Dashboard > Pages.
Click on Add New Pages.
Give your page a Title and click on Publish.

To add the shortcode, click on Edit With Elementor.
You will be redirected to the Elementor page where you will need to Add the Widget to add the shortcode.

Click on the “+” to add your desired columns.
Once you’ve set up the columns, the following step involves inserting the shortcode for your products. To do this, select the column that has a greater width. Then, in the search widget field, type and search for Shortcode.
Add the shortcode for the product. For example, we’re setting up laptop items with specific rows and columns.

Note: You can get the shortcode from WooCommerce websites, allowing you to easily copy and paste them as needed.

Likewise, include the product filter specifically for the laptop. To achieve this, you can easily copy the shortcode from the product you’ve set up. This automatically generated code will establish all the necessary product filters.
To copy the shortcode, navigate to Dashboard > Super WooCommerece. Then, click on the product associated with the shortcode you want to copy. You can see a column with the product shortcode. Copy the Shortcode.

Now, repeat the process of adding a shortcode. To do this, select the column that has a smaller width. Then, in the search widget field, type and search for Shortcode.
Paste the shortcode that you have recently copied for the product. For demonstration, we have selected the product laptop.

Click on Update to save the changes.

You’ll notice that the products, along with their corresponding filters, are now displayed on your website.
However, when attempting to filter the laptop products, other categories with similar filter attributes will also be displayed.

Users looking for a specific product might find this confusing. To fix this, ensure you choose products that belong solely to the laptop category. To configure this setting:

Go to Dashboard > Super WooCommerce Product Filter > Settings Tab.
In the Show Only Categories, select the laptop filter.

Click on Update to save the changes.

You’ll notice that once you apply the product filters, only the products related to laptops are displayed.

When you select a product filter, the auto-submit feature takes charge, automatically submitting your chosen filter options. This removes the need for users to manually click the submit button, simplifying the process for a more effortless experience.

To understand how this setting works in action, please navigate to the demo Auto Submit.

Submit Button Text

If you choose not to auto-submit the filters, users will need to manually click a button to apply their selections. In this section, you can customize the text on that button to make it clear for users, ensuring they understand its purpose.

After you have added the submit button text it appears like this in the frontend.

A Logic Operator is a setting that gives you control over how filters interact with each other when applied. When set to ‘AND,‘ all specified filters must align for a product to be included, ensuring a more precise match.

On the other hand, when set to ‘OR,’ a match with any one of the specified filters is adequate to display the product in the results. This feature provides flexibility in refining product searches based on your specific criteria, allowing for either a stricter or more inclusive approach.

In managing your product listings, you have the flexibility to organize items based on specific criteria. Under the Order By option, you can select to sort products by ID, Name, or Count, depending on your preference. Additionally, with the Order Type setting, you can determine whether you’d like items to be displayed in Ascending or Descending order, ensuring that your product presentation aligns with your desired sequence.

When navigating through pages, there are three pagination types available:

Default
Infinite Scroll
More Button

Default

When set to the default option, the navigation will present page numbers, ensuring users are informed about their current page within the content. This allows users to easily track and understand their position as they navigate through the pages.

To explore the demo of this feature please follow this link.

Infinite Scroll

Opting for the infinite scroll feature means that as users scroll downward, new content will automatically load without the need to click on page numbers or buttons. This creates a seamless browsing experience where content appears continuously as the user explores the page.

To explore the infinite scrolling feature, please click on the following demo link.

Load More Button

The Load More Button prompts users to manually click a designated button to load additional products or content onto the page. This provides users with control over when they want to view more items, ensuring a more deliberate browsing experience.

To explore the infinite more button feature, please click on the following demo link.

Load More Button Text

If you opt for the manual Load More button during scrolling, you have the option to customize the text that appears on this button.

You can choose to place the active filters:

Before filters
After filters
Before products

Before Filters

When you select this option, any active filters will be displayed prominently at the very beginning, before any other filtering options.

After Filters

Opting for this setting places active filters immediately after the list or grid of available filter options.

Before Products

Selecting this option places the active filters prominently right before the list of products or items that match the selected criteria.

This option allows you to organize active filters based on their labels. When enabled, the active filters will be grouped according to their respective labels, creating a more organized and streamlined presentation on your website.

When the filter is active, its label will be displayed as you make your selections.

When the label is hidden, chosen filters will group.

When active filter labels are hidden

When active filter labels are shown

To set up the product filter based on its class, make adjustments such as product count, div class, and pagination div selector. You can conveniently make these changes right here.

Product Selector Class

A Product Selector Class is a predefined identifier within the website’s code structure that shows the list of products. All the filtered products are shown under this class with AJAX. By default, the class name is ul.products but some themes may have this class changed. So you might need to inspect, check for the class, and then copy the class name and paste it into the Product Selector Class field. Check the detailed tutorial on finding element class/id from inspection on different browsers.

Product Count Div Selector Class

The product count div selector class is a technical designation used in web development to identify a specific HTML or CSS class assigned to a div element. This particular div element contains information related to the number of products, serving as an indicator of the quantity of items currently showcased. Within this designated div, the displayed numerical value signifies the number of products currently in focus, representing a subset of the overall total available. By default the class name is .woocommerce-result-count but as said earlier, some themes might have this class name changed. In such a case, you will need to find the class name by inspecting it and changing it to the class name used in that particular div.

Products Pagination Div Selector Class

The WooCommerce pagination class is a specific div selector in web development. Applied to a div element, it contains pagination elements enabling users to navigate through multiple product pages. It plays a vital role in creating an intuitive and user-friendly navigation system and optimizing the exploration of products on the online store. By default the class name is .woocommerce-pagination but as said earlier, some themes might have this class name changed. In such a case, you will need to find the class name by inspecting it and changing it to the class name used in that particular div.

Preloaders are brief animations that display when product filters are being applied or when there’s a delay in loading content on the page. They indicate that the website is processing information and can be a visual cue for users to wait momentarily.

There are 16 different Preloader styles that you can choose from.

Specify the number of products you want to display in each row and column on your website page. This configuration allows you to enhance the visual appeal of your site by determining how many products are showcased in each row and column layout.

Note: When AJAX is applied during filtering, the product displays according to the rows and columns added here.

When you select a filter, the page seamlessly scrolls to the top, unveiling the products that precisely match your preferences. It’s a convenient and user-friendly experience, making it easier for visitors to quickly view and engage with the products that align with their specific criteria.

While shopping online, users often narrow down their product search by using filters based on various product attributes such as size, color, brand, price range, and other specific features. These help users refine their search results to find products that meet their specific preferences and requirements more efficiently.

However, when filter attributes with no products are not hidden it will seem to clutter the space and somehow create confusion to the users.

In the screenshot, you’ll see that the active filter is set to ASUS brand. However, there are additional filter attributes displayed that aren’t relevant to the filter selection. The MAC OS term under the operating systems and CPU Model attribute contradicts this selection as ASUS laptops run exclusively on Windows.

To avoid other filters attributes from appearing try enabling the Hide Filter Attributes with no Products.

After enabling this feature, the displayed filters attributes will align specifically with the active filters that have been selected.

Here you will notice that the attributes relevant to the product are only shown.

On the contrary, let’s select the Apple brand to see the changes in the filter attributes.

Here, you can see when the Filter Attributes with No Products are not hidden the attribute terms which don’t align with the Apple brand are also visible.

To make sure you don’t want these filter attribute terms visible try enabling the Hide Filter Attributes with no Product feature.

Here you will notice that the attributes relevant to the product are only shown.

Please note that this is just an example. You can notice the product attributes changes in other filter attributes as well. As this is an example there are very few attributes listed but in the real world when you try to shop online there are numerous filter attributes that when hidden will make a difference and make the filter process easier.

If you want to see a demo of this feature, please follow this link.

To streamline the process of selecting filters, you have the option to manage their visibility. While selecting filters, you can ensure a cleaner interface by hiding unnecessary filters. Simply click the “+” or “-” sign, and the filters will appear or disappear accordingly.

To view the demo of the show/hide individual filters, follow this link.

Within this section, you can choose from three different layouts to showcase the product filter. Use a shortcode to easily display and customize the filter according to your preferences. Additionally, explore offcanvas settings and decide whether you want to include the product filter in the header of archive pages for added flexibility.

Shortcodes in product filter display settings allow for easy integration and customization of product filters on specific pages or posts in an eCommerce site. By inserting these shortcodes, users can dynamically present and customize filter options without the need for extensive coding, providing a flexible and user-friendly solution.

If you are not sure how to add shortcodes to your website follow this link.

Set Filter Columns

After inserting the product filter shortcode into the header, you have the option to adjust the columns for better display. This feature enables you to enhance user experience by allowing them to view multiple filters simultaneously. By presenting several filters at once, users can conveniently select their desired product filters in one go, streamlining the shopping process.

Display as Off Canvas Menu After

After adding the product filter, you can choose to activate the Off Canvas Menu display. This is great for mobile users, as it adjusts to the narrower screen size. You can specify when the filter switches to this mode based on pixels. It makes filtering products easier on mobile devices by providing a menu that slides in from the side.

The off-canvas menu enables users to incorporate a menu alongside the product filter, enhancing the website’s visual clarity and streamlining the product filtering process. Let’s explore what changes you can make in this section:

Show/Hide in Pages

Decide where you want the off-canvas menu to appear on your website. Choose to show or hide it on all pages, and specify its visibility on selected pages.

Archive page headers feature the product filter prominently at the top, setting the stage before displaying the products. Toggle the visibility of the product filter on archive pages with the option to set filter columns for a customized display.

Set Filter Columns

After choosing to show your filter in the header of archive pages you can set filter columns as per your website requirement. This feature enables you to enhance user experience by allowing them to view multiple filters simultaneously. By presenting several filters at once, users can conveniently select their desired product criteria in one go, streamlining the shopping process.

Display as Off Canvas Menu After

To view the demo of how the filter appears on the header of archive pages, follow this link.

In the design section, you can customize various elements, including colors, text, spacing, and other personalized features for your filters. To make adjustments, follow these steps:

Go to Dashboard > Super WooCommerce Product Filter
Click on the Design Tab

Let’s see what changes you can make in the design section.

The Filter Box of a product filter refers to the visual container that holds the filter options or criteria on a webpage. Within this filter box, you can make several design customizations:

Background Color: This is the color that fills the area behind the filter options. Choosing a background color can impact the overall look and feel of the filter box.
Text Color: This refers to the color of the text used for the filter options. It allows you to adjust the visibility and contrast of the text against the background.
Border Radius: The border radius determines how rounded the corners of the filter box are. A higher border radius value results in more rounded corners, while a lower value creates sharper corners.
Border Color: This is the color of the border surrounding the filter box. Adjusting the border color can help define the boundaries of the filter box and create visual separation from the surrounding content.
Box Shadow (X and Y): This feature allows you to add a shadow effect to the filter box. The “X” and “Y” parameters control the horizontal and vertical offset of the shadow, respectively. Adjusting these values provides control over the direction and positioning of the shadow effect.
Padding (in pixels): Padding determines the space between the content inside the filter box and its borders. You can set padding values for the top, right, bottom, and left sides, ensuring proper spacing and alignment of the filter options within the box.

Trigger Button

Load Google Fonts Locally

Loading Google Fonts directly onto your website can help you meet GDPR rules, but it might slow things down. If GDPR isn’t a concern, you can skip this and load the fonts from Google’s servers. Just remember, if you load many different fonts, it could still affect your site’s speed a little.

Load Product’s Variable Image

This setting allows users to choose a specific variation of a product like color or size, the displayed image will match that variation. This feature of the WooCommerce product filter settings ensures that the customers see the right image for the variation of the selected product.

Creating a meta box can be complex, and incorporating those fields into the filter preset adds a layer of difficulty. Meta fields are made for skilled coders, enabling them to add the custom created product filters effortlessly. These boxes provide a simple way to add important data fields to the filter section. Users can easily choose from various filter options, making their experience smoother and more streamlined.

If you’re not familiar with coding, don’t worry! Plugins can be a lifesaver for adding meta boxes. Let’s walk through how to create them and see how they show up in both the filter section and on product pages.

For those unfamiliar with coding, there are numerous that plugins offer a convenient solution for creating meta boxes and adding multiple filters.

In this demonstration, we’ll showcase the use of the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin to create meta boxes for filters. Once, you have installed and activated the plugin follow these steps to add the meta field of the products:

Go to Dashboard> ACF > Field Groups.
Click on Add Field Group.

Name your Meta box with a title that matches your meta field. Next, select the field type, and provide a field label. For this demonstration, we have chosen to provide choices for the t-shirt prints so we are adding the available t-shirt print to choose from.
To display the meta box on the desired product, you’ll also need to specify its location. In the settings, designate the location for the meta box. In this example, we’re placing our meta box within the product T-shirt’s post type.

After you have added the necessary fields click on Save Changes.

To view the meta box that you have recently created:

Go to Dashboard > Products
Click on the product type where you have added your meta box.

You’ll notice that the meta box you’ve just created has now appeared here.

To check the created meta field in the filter presets, navigate to Super WooCommerce Product Filter and click on All Filter Presets. Here, you’ll find the filter configurations that you have recently added, allowing you to make any necessary adjustments.

This section is intended for those who are using plugins other than ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) or have custom-coded their metaboxes.

Adding custom meta fields requires a solid grasp of coding and a deep technical understanding. Once you have coded the meta fields for your desired products it is crucial to add the meta values to the meta field section. For demonstration, we have created the codes for the T-shirt fabric. Let’s see how to add the required fields in this section:

Go to Dashboard> Super WooCommerce Product Filter > Meta Fields.
In the Meta Title field, input the name you’ve assigned to your meta box. Then, enter the unique Meta Key added during coding.

Include the Meta options along with their key and value to display them as filter choices for your products.
After you have added the necessary fields click on the Save Settings.

To adjust the meta field you’ve added, you can customize it further through the filter preset and make any required modifications.
