About this plugin
FilterFlow Posts adds a modern filterable posts grid to the Elementor editor without requiring Elementor Pro.
Responsive filtering
- Desktop category chips automatically move excess categories into a More menu.
- Filter icons are enabled by default: All uses a blue active grid icon and categories receive automatic icons based on their names, with per-category overrides available.
- Tablet uses one category dropdown by default, avoiding duplicate controls.
- Mobile keeps Filter and All visible in a fixed 60:40 row.
- The active mobile category is moved to the first quick-filter position.
- Responsive switching uses the Elementor widget width, not only the browser width.
- A header-collision guard prevents common theme or Elementor headers from covering the widget, with an optional manual-clearance fallback for unusual custom headers.

FilterFlow Posts website.
Post cards
- Featured image, title, smart excerpt, multiple category badges, author meta, avatar, date, reading time, comments, and arrow link.
- Smart excerpts prioritize the manual WordPress excerpt, then Elementor Text Editor content while ignoring Elementor Heading widgets.
- Numbered pagination, Load More, or no pagination.
- Responsive one-to-four-column layouts.
Design controls
- Pill, outline, underline, overline, double-line, tab, and minimal filter styles.
- Full filter-bar background, gradient, shadow, border, radius, padding, width, alignment, and sticky controls.
- Complete category-badge colors, typography, spacing, border, radius, shadow, hover, and featured-image overlay positions.
- Post-title typography, weight, normal and hover colors, and optional text decoration.
- Card, image, excerpt, metadata, pagination, heading, and description customization.
Accessibility and privacy
- Keyboard-accessible controls, focus trapping, ARIA state updates, live result announcements, and reduced-motion support.
- No tracking, advertising, custom database tables, cookies, or plugin-wide stored options.
- Widget settings are stored only as part of the Elementor page data.
Privacy
FilterFlow Posts does not collect, sell, or share personal data. AJAX requests are sent only to the site where the plugin is installed and contain the selected category, page number, and strictly limited widget query settings needed to render public posts.
When the optional author avatar is enabled, the plugin uses WordPress core get_avatar(). Depending on the site avatar settings, the generated image URL may use an external avatar provider such as Gravatar. Disable Author Avatar in the widget when external avatar requests are not desired.
