Different filter layouts for multiple filters

    I am trying to build a page that will allow filtering a custom post type by two custom taxonomies. Is there a way I can have taxonomy 1 use a dropdown and taxonomy 2 use alphabetical, or some other version of filter layout per filter item?

    Thanks!

    p.s. Great plugin, I am very impressed so far how easy it is to setup.

    Hi!
    Thanks for using our plugin.
    You can do the following: in the Advanced tab (Extra Filter Layout), select the filter type you need, for example, Alphabetical, and place the shortcode in the right place on the page. Then in the Shortcode tab, copy the shortcode (Shortcode Extra Filter) and place it in the desired place on the page. And in the Layout tab, select the main filter type – Dropdown. This way you will get two independent filters: alphabetical and dropdown. You can do it differently: create your own custom filter using the API plugin, but this is a slightly complicated solution that requires understanding JavaScript, PHP and the functions of WordPress itself (see doc. https://github.com/YMC-22/smart-filter).
    In the future, we plan to implement a multi-selection of different filter types on the page. We hope this will help you solve your problems.

    Thanks for the quick response, for now it seems that I have to use the same filter layout for each filter term. This is acceptable, but would be a nice to have in the future.
