How Do I Show Filters in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 18, 2023 @ 8:26 am

There are a few different ways that you can go about showing filters in WooCommerce. The easiest way is to simply go to the WooCommerce settings page and enable the “Show Filters” option. This will add a filter widget to the sidebar of your shop page that your customers can use to filter products by price, category, or tag.

If you want more control over where the filter widget appears, you can add the following code to your child theme’s functions.php file:

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'woocommerce_show_filters', 10 );
function WooCommerce_show_filters() {
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ) ) {
dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' );
}
PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce to sell products on your website, it is important to be aware of the potential risks associated with showing filters. By showing filters, you are essentially giving customers the ability to narrow down their search results to find exactly what they are looking for. This can lead to customers missing out on other products that they may be interested in, which could ultimately result in lost sales.

This code will display the filter widget in the sidebar of your shop page. You can change "sidebar-1" to any other sidebar slug if you want to display it in a different location.

If you want to get really fancy, you can use the WooCommerce Product Table plugin. This plugin lets you display all of your products in a table with checkboxes next to each one.

Customers can then select the products they want and add them to their cart all at once. The plugin also lets you add filters above the table so customers can easily find what they're looking for.

Conclusion: There are a few different ways that you can show filters in WooCommerce, but the easiest way is to simply enable the "Show Filters" option in the WooCommerce settings page. If you want more control over where the filter widget appears, you can add some code to your child theme's functions.php file or use a plugin like WooCommerce Product Table.
