Plugin Features Highlights
- Use the annasta Filters Guttenberg block, shortcode, widget, or a WooCommerce hook to insert the filters into a sidebar, header, or other elements of your site. To change the initial off-canvas sidebar behavior, customize the Visibility of the pre-installed preset.
- Our plugin will filter the WooCommerce shop and archives (product category / tag / brand pages), and can also be set up to work with the WooCommerce [products] shortcodes. On any other page of your site the filters will act as links to the corresponding filtered results of the main WooCommerce shop page.

- Try the annasta dedicated AJAX mode for even faster AJAX filtering.

- NEW! URL rewrite options allow turning filtering parameters into permalinks.
- SEO options include the dynamic page and shop titles updates, auto-insertion of canonical links for filtered pages, addition of rel=”nofollow” to filters’ tags, as well as auto-generation of meta description tags from combinations of currently active filters.

Credits
This plugin has been designed to work with themes that adhere to the WordPress and WooCommerce coding guidelines and maintain the standard WooCommerce shop page architecture. The majority of WooCommerce themes are compliant with these requirements, so most likely annasta Filters will work on your site with no need for additional adjustments.
You are welcome to contact us if you feel that you need advice or help with the plugin integration with your theme. Please keep in mind that in some cases only the theme author can fix an incompatibility originating in the non-compliance with the above-mentioned requirements.
If you are facing a problem with the functioning of annasta Filters, please take a minute to look through our Troubleshoot Guide to see if the solution to your issue has already been described there.
Before contacting us for the resolution of your issue, we ask you to kindly follow these steps:
1. If there is a newer version of plugin available, perform an update to see if the issue has already been addressed.
2. Turn on the default WooCommerce theme (Storefront) and see if the problem disappears. If it does, it should mean that the problem lies in the plugin interaction with your theme. You can still contact us to see if we can come up with a fix, just let us know that the problem that you are facing is related to the plugin incompatibility with your theme.
3. Try to disable other active plugins (except for the WooCommerce), one by one, to see if the problem is caused by a conflict with another plugin.
4. Contact us to describe the issue.
We do maintain the program of the new features introduction for the future plugin releases, so there is a chance that the functionality that you are seeking is already on that list. You can contact us to find out if the feature that you are interested in is scheduled to appear in the next releases. If it turns out that it’s not on our To Do list, but your inquiry concerns an existing feature improvement, or coincides with our features development plan, we will consider your request in the future releases.
