Thank you for your hard work on another great video. What would be your approach to using a filter button for people who don't want to display the filters along with the query results? A pop-up? A flyout menu? How would that work? Thanks!
great video, thank you! I'm currently trying out this widget in the web shop I'm currently building. Unfortunately, filtering in the product archive by color doesn't work, even though I implemented your video 1 to 1. How did you go about filtering the colors? Do you have a video for this?
@@websquadron Yes, it should actually work, but it doesn't. I imported the colors as attributes not as acf custom fields. Unfortunately you don't show this in your video.
@@mareikeengel957 what you’ve done is fine as attributes. Does it work if you only have that filter activated and no other filter? Try that on a copied page.
Great Plugin and Video Brother. With Elementor loop Grid Builder its easy building custom archive page but theres something missing. Any idea on how can we Display the Product Count Results on archive page now?
No, the default Products archives shows for example: 1-16 of 200 Products, show we know the number of products in that page and then for page 2 17-32 of 200 Products. I think GridBuilder doesn't allow this for current query because the options are limited. Also what if I want to sort my products for say a category: Laptops. Grid Builder sorts the product for all products rather than current query. @@websquadron
Hi, do you know how to go around the problem, then you have a variable product, and you are selling t-shirts, and Large is sold out, but when you filter, the product comes up in the loop grid, because the size "L" is in the variable product. Thanks for the great video.
@@websquadron Yes, I have been in touch with the DEV team, and they are telling me that it is another WP call and it is not build for it, but I can see a major mistake not to do it, the big webshops would need to filter everything to sell their products. If it is ome errors on a webshop, some people just walk away, and buy what they need from another shop.
Great video. I purchased and installed the plug-in, but in elementor the facet widget is not appearing with the diamond icon (it has the Wordpress logo as an icon) -- and it is not letting me choose the loop grid (my layout is set up exactly the same as yours in this video). As a side note, the new taxonomy filter and off-set carousel widgets are also not appearing even though I have elementor 3.16. Have you come across this issue?
@@websquadron Yes, they appear now. The taxonomy filter is unfortunately too limited for my goal (as you showed in another video). The facet widget for WP Grid Builder is now appearing -- but it is not allowing me to select the loop grid to filter. The loop grid shows an id of "%s" and does not appear in the dropdown selector. If you have any ideas I would greatly appreciate it -- I have been troubleshooting this for hours now! WP Grid Builder support has simply told me to deactivate all other plugins, which I did to no effect.
@@alexoliveiranorton8615 I am also facing the same issue. I have created loop grid and when I try to select from the facets, nothing apears there. How did you fixed that. Please guide me. Thanks
Can it be used if I don't have the woocommerce plugin installed? My website promotes rock concerts and I will be selling tickets for some of them through an affiliate account. I need a filter that will sort concerts by city and country. I would like to ask you if you could suggest to me which filter would be suitable. I edited the website using the loop grid and the call to action widget according to your instructions. It looks awesome!
I'd need to understand more to consider a better solution. Due to the high number of daily requests, I don’t investigate or propose possible solutions unless they're a 1-2-1 consultation. If you're still interested, visit my booking page: learn.websquadron.co.uk/#support
Thanks for the video mate. Would it also be possible to do it with pages? I have content on a bunch of different pages that I would like to put into a grid with a filter. If yes, is it possible to add categories to pages? Thanks
Thanks for your quick reply! Will I then be able to add the to a loop grid in Elementor and use the WP gridbuilder for the filter in the same way as in your video?@@websquadron
Does it let you you include a load more button in loop grid? This text is on their site but it doesn't really make that much sense to me. "This add-on does not support “Pagination” options from Elementor elements listed above. However, you can use a facets to paginate or load more content on click or scroll."
@@websquadron Some of my loops have up to 100 posts so I'd like to show 18 on first load, then you can click load more to load another 18 etc. Because if I don't then page takes an age to load...
I just got it to try and you have to put no pagination on the elementor loop grid and make a load more button facet to act on the grid. Works perfectly@@websquadron! Is there a way to make horizontal scrolling facet buttons for mobile like you do with the nested tab buttons?
Have you tested it to like style differently depending on if it is a category or a sub-category? I want that in a project but it seems like really hard to do it
@@websquadron I did but they give me indirect answers , I'm trying to add the grid to my elementor search results and archive pages but when I do what they say it's not working I know it's an easy fix for a developer im ok but not great .
@@websquadron i dont want color swatches in filter i want them on product grid above add to cart or somewhere.. And on clicking any color the variation image should change according to color.. Can u do that using elementor loop grid or some other plugin
Great video as always! Does it support Custom Post Types? I mean - when choosing the 'Data Source' in the 'Filter By' section, can you make it filter categories from just one Custom Post Type?
I have put a support ticket in to the developer, but have any of you had problems with it not indexing or just stalling indexing forever? Mine went from the forever stalling to now just automatically cancelling indexing. So frustrating, and I can't be the only one with this issue. Obviously with a facet not indexed, it is quite useless.
Could this also be possible with Search & Filter beta? I tried to build a query in search&filter and to use this query inside my elementor loop grid. but I could not find the option to select the created query :(
This plug in does not work. I am using it with Elementor Loop Grip. The filters are shown but appears as grey and are not selectable. I get no support and they do not pay the money back. So, if you have extra money that you want to give to them then go for it.
It could be many things with regards to what or how it has been set up as to the issue. I wouldn’t say that the plugin doesn’t work unless proven to be an issue with the plugin. Have you sought to work with anyone to resolve this. Usually the plugin support are good with responding to queries so raise ticket.
Thanks for the tut! Do you know if the search pages have SEO rules for URL generation? When visitors filter products, they generate pages with filtering results on your site. Quite often, these pages contain information that Internet users search directly in Search Engines. So if I have blue watches, the query for blue watches would display blue watches on the URL and get indexed on Google. Some plugins have rules for how metatags and H1 are populated based on database information but am not seeing if this one does?
I don't understand it, I am stupid - they have a new UI with data sources being: Post, Terms and Users. Not super intuitive. I wished they didn't change UI
They've updated this plug-in. I say "updated", the interface now looks nowhere near as modernised as in this video. It is no longer intuitive -- Instead you have to search for things yourself, which makes zero sense when you do not know the terms the plug-in is looking for. The simple use of taxonomy has been replaced, it's a nightmare trying to set this up. Many instructions I've come across are either outdated or are not in-depth enough. Very tempted to cut my losses of the time spent on this and request a refund and look elsewhere!
Thanks!
Big thanks to you :)
I have been looking for this type of solution for ages. Thank you!!
Do you have an idea how to show the color variants as color watches in the product archive?
Great video Imran, thanks for this.
Can you please review new WP GridBuilder 2.0 with Metabox & Kadence.

Can you do grid builder along with shop engine? Because use shop engine for filtering and searching products

Not tried that without applying individual css styling yet

Absolutely. You can select custom fields/types.

is it better than taxonomy filters on elementor pro? tbh
Yes
Does it work if you have two loop grids on the screen? And in a pop up?
Totally fine to have more than 2. Not sure about the Pop-Up.
@@websquadron the rest is great, I’ll test with pop up and come back to you, but his could be the ultimate mega menu….
How do I make products made with loop grid "searchable" from the search bar?
and how do I filter them by price?
You need to ensure that you have an archive template set with current query. And add a price filter.
thanks, so to make the products searchable, just enter current query?@@websquadron

Not so good for that as linking the results to tags would take some coding.
