FacetWP

What is FacetWP?

FacetWP is a powerful WordPress filtering plugin that allows visitors to refine content by multiple criteria. We’ve implemented it to filter case studies, newsletters, events, and blog posts.

Core Concepts

• Facets: Filter controls (dropdowns, checkboxes, etc.) that visitors use
• Templates: Custom layouts for displaying filtered results
• Query Builder: Backend tool that connects facets to your content

Using Facet Filters

1. Finding Filters: Look for filter controls in the sidebar or above content areas
2. Selecting Criteria: Click checkboxes, select dropdown options, or use search boxes
3. Multiple Filters: Combine filters for more specific results (e.g., filter events by both date and category)
4. Resetting Filters: Click “Reset” or “Clear All” to remove all applied filters

Benefits for Website Visitors

• Quickly find relevant content
• Narrow results using multiple criteria
• Filters update instantly without page reloads
• Save time by focusing on specific content areas

Technical Support
