FAQ

How do I display the filter?

Use the shortcode [nwsfilter_product_filter] in any page or post, or add it to your theme template using <?php echo do_shortcode('[nwsfilter_product_filter]'); ?>

Can I display selected filters separately?

Yes! Use the shortcode [nwsfilter_selected_filters] to display only the active/selected filters with remove buttons. This is useful when you want to show filters in a different location or when you’ve hidden them from the main filter form.

How do I change the order of filters?

In the admin settings (Settings > Product Filter), you can drag and drop the filter items to reorder them. The order you set will be reflected on the frontend.

Can I customize the appearance?

Yes! The plugin includes comprehensive CSS classes that you can override in your theme’s CSS file. All main elements have specific classes like .nws-filter, .filter-group, .range-slider, etc.

Does it work with AJAX?

The filtering uses URL parameters and page reloads. The interface includes a loading indicator for better user experience.

Can I hide selected filters from the main filter form?

Yes! In the admin settings, enable “Hide Selected Filters in Filter Form” and use the [nwsfilter_selected_filters] shortcode to display them elsewhere.

How do I enable category auto-expand?

In Settings > Product Filter, check the “Auto-expand Parent Categories” option. This will automatically expand parent categories when viewing a subcategory.

What WooCommerce versions are supported?

The plugin requires WooCommerce 4.0 or higher and is tested up to WooCommerce 8.0.
