Dropdown with checkboxes

Hi @nicoter

Thank you for your interest in Filter Everything.

I definitely have plans to add such filters view with checkboxes in dropdown, but I think it will be ready in 2 months, not faster. There are more urgent features should be implemented for the plugin.

I noticed your plugin has a better performance (page loading time) than all other product filter plugins I tested. Congrats!

Can you promise to implement dropdowns with checkboxes?

Also, what are more important features? Do you have a roadmap?

Thanks

Thank you for your warm words about the plugin. I would be happy if you leaeve a review about it.

Yes, sure, I confirm I will add such layout with checkboxes in dropdown, but deadline may be 2 months may be more. I have the roadmap, but it is not public. In general now I’m working on step filtering feature and also I will add XML sitemap with filtering links to the PRO version in closest time.

Ok, thanks for confirming. I’ll leave a review once this has been implemented ??

One more thing: If all products of a category don’t contain any filter terms, does the pro version only hide the filters or does it remove the whole filter widget block?

I’m asking this because of the large, empty div above the filters, see this screenshot.

Btw, why does this div display when it’s empty?

<div class="wpc-posts-found" data-found="">
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>

Wouldn’t it be better to only display this div, if there’s a text string in the p tag? Else there’s too much white space, hurting an already optimized layout.

Just noticed it’s displaying redundant information, see this screenshot. Can this feature be turned off?

Hello @nicoter

PRO version has the same options for “Empty terms” field (Always hide, Never hide, Hide in initial Filter only) But additionally it supports one more option – to hide entire filter if all terms are empty.

This div is holder (canvas) for “XX post found” message. It was designed such to avoid “jumping” of filters widget height when this message appears. If you don’t want to use it anymore, you can just hide it via CSS added in Filters -> Settings -> Experimental -> Custom CSS:

.wpc-filters-widget-wrapper .wpc-posts-found{
    display: none;
}
