About this plugin
QueryCraft is a powerful and intuitive filtering plugin for WordPress, built with modern code and best practices. It allows you to build advanced filters for your posts, WooCommerce products, or any custom post type, with support for clean, SEO-friendly URLs.
Core Features:
- Filter by Anything: The current version provides robust filtering by any taxonomy (e.g., categories, tags, product attributes).
- Flexible Display: Display filters as checkboxes, radio buttons, or a dropdown menu to best suit your needs.
- Highly Compatible AJAX Engine: An advanced AJAX mode rendered page fragments. This ensures that updated content, pagination, and the filter widget itself perfectly match your theme’s styling and structure, every time.
- Clean URLs for SEO: Enable “Clean URLs” to transform messy query strings (?category=news ) into SEO-friendly permalinks ( /category/news/ ), with deep integration into WordPress’s Rewrite API.
- Customization Options: A dedicated settings page provides extensive options, allowing you to control the filter mode (AJAX/Redirect), hide terms with no posts, show/hide post counters, and set a max height for filter lists to enable scrolling.
- Widget Integration: Easily add your filters to any sidebar or widget area using the “QueryCraft Filters” widget, which is designed to automatically inherit your theme’s title styles.
