## Beschreibung

#### THE COMPLETE FILTER SOLUTION: POSTS, CUSTOM POST TYPES & WOOCOMMERCE PRODUCTS. DRAG & DROP BUILDER INCLUDED.

Category AJAX Filter (CAF) is a free filter plugin for WordPress posts, custom post
types and WooCommerce products. Visitors filter by category, tag, taxonomy, attribute
or price instantly, with no page reload. Build it visually with the drag & drop 
CAF Builder, where every element is a module: search box, dropdown, checkbox, range
slider and more, all styled and placed however you want, with no coding and separate
settings for desktop, tablet and mobile. Add it anywhere with a shortcode. The filter
works with your existing layout in Elementor, Divi, WooCommerce shop pages and all
major themes or you can create your own listing with drag & drop. [Category AJAX Filter Pro](https://trustyplugins.com/category-ajax-filter-pro/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org)
adds AI search, analytics, SEO controls, custom field filtering, attribute swatches,
product badges and more.

### ⭐ Key Features

CAF includes the core features you need to create professional, fully customized
post or woocommerce product filters. From instant AJAX filtering to pre-built templates,
everything is designed for simplicity and power.

 * **AJAX-Powered Instant Filtering**: Filters use AJAX to update results instantly
   without page reload. Visitors see filtered posts and products in real-time as
   they select categories, tags or search anything across your content.
 * **Drag & Drop 3-Step Builder**: The visual CAF Builder simplifies filter creation
   into three steps: Query & Filters to set filtering logic, Post Item Template 
   to design post and product cards, Layout Settings to control columns, posts per
   page, gaps, sort order, filter position and pagination.
 * **Works with Any Post Type**: Blog posts, any custom post type and WooCommerce
   products – one filter for all your content.
 * **Pre-Built Template Library**: Start with ready-made filter layouts and post
   item designs. Export your work as JSON to reuse across sites or import templates
   from other filters you’ve built.

### 🔗 Supported Post Types & Compatibility

**Post types & taxonomies**

Filter WordPress posts, any custom post type registered on your site or WooCommerce
products – by category, tag, brand, attribute, price or any custom taxonomy you’ve
created, using Search, Dropdown, Checkbox and Range Slider modules.

**WooCommerce**

Full support for simple, variable and grouped products. Connect the filter to your
existing shop layout or build a complete product listing with Product Image, Product
Price, Add to Cart, Badges modules and more.

**Page builder & plugin compatibility**

Works with all major page builders including Elementor, Divi and WP Bakery. Compatible
with popular custom post type and custom field plugins like ACF, CPT UI and Meta
Box. Elementor Loop Builder support is available.

### 👑 Category AJAX Filter Pro

Take your filters to the next level with [Category AJAX Filter Pro](https://trustyplugins.com/category-ajax-filter-pro/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org)
plugin. It adds advanced filtering, deeper customization and extra integrations.
From AI-powered search to WooCommerce swatches and smart badges, Pro gives you the
tools to build filtering experiences that match your exact vision.

 * **[AI Search](https://trustyplugins.com/category-ajax-filter-pro/ai-search-feature/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org)**:
   A visitor types „red shoes under 50“ and gets the right products. AI Search understands
   what people mean, matching intent against your content, taxonomy terms, brands,
   attributes and price – not just exact keywords. Works on posts, custom post types
   and WooCommerce products. See the [live AI Search demo](https://caf.trustyplugins.com/demos/ai-search-demo/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org).
 * **[Custom Fields in Filters](https://trustyplugins.com/category-ajax-filter-pro/custom-fields-filters-feature/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org)**:
   Extend filtering beyond taxonomies by letting visitors filter with custom fields,
   including all WooCommerce product custom fields, using Checkbox, Dropdown, Range
   Slider or Search modules, with the ability to target the search box to specific
   custom fields for more focused searching.
 * **[Sort Filter Terms](https://trustyplugins.com/category-ajax-filter-pro/sort-filter-terms-feature/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org)**:
   Manually reorder categories, taxonomies, brands, attributes or custom field terms
   in Checkbox and Dropdown filters using drag & drop, instead of relying on alphabetical
   or count-based ordering.
 * **Icons & Images on Filters**: Add an icon or image to any filter term alongside
   the label or in place of it. Use brand logos, colour swatches or category icons
   on checkbox and dropdown filters and on custom field terms.
 * **[Voice Search](https://trustyplugins.com/category-ajax-filter-pro/voice-search-feature/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org)**:
   Let visitors search hands-free using voice input, with a customizable microphone
   icon you can position left or right and control the listening state feedback 
   they see while speaking, making filtering more accessible and convenient.
 * **[SEO Controls](https://trustyplugins.com/category-ajax-filter-pro/seo-controls-feature/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org)**:
   Keep filtered pages crawlable and indexable with Filter With URL support and 
   schema markup, so search engines understand your filtered content.
 * **[Advanced Layout Controls](https://trustyplugins.com/category-ajax-filter-pro/advance-layout-controls-feature/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org)**:
   Place advanced pagination options like Load More, Infinite Scroll, sorting dropdowns,
   selected filters and result counts exactly where you want them across four flexible
   positions: above filters, below filters, above the post grid or below the post
   grid, with drag & drop control that lets you arrange them however you need, even
   stacking multiple modules in the same position.
 * **[Analytics](https://trustyplugins.com/category-ajax-filter-pro/analytics-feature/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org)**:
   Get detailed insights into how visitors use your filters, including total filter
   clicks across categories, attributes, brands and selected price ranges, which
   filter combinations return zero results, clicks broken down by device type and
   a complete list of search keywords visitors used, all viewable across custom 
   time periods to identify trends and gaps in your content and store.
 * **[Prefix and Suffix Options](https://trustyplugins.com/category-ajax-filter-pro/prefix-suffix-feature/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org)**:
   In listing add custom text or icons before and after data throughout your layout
   in key modules like Post Title, Custom Field, Post Button, Product Price, Add
   to Cart and Badges, as well as result counts in your layout controls, so every
   piece of information displays exactly how you want it with complete customization
   over presentation.
 * **[Float Button](https://trustyplugins.com/category-ajax-filter-pro/float-button-feature/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org)**:
   Take full control of how your filter appears on every device. Keep it inline 
   or in a sidebar on desktop and show the same filter as a floating button on mobile
   and tablet, with full customization of the button text, icon, panel animation
   direction and overlay color.
 * **[Product Attribute Swatches](https://trustyplugins.com/category-ajax-filter-pro/product-swatches-feature/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org)**:
   In listing show product attributes as selectable text, color or image swatches
   directly on product cards, each fully styleable. Shoppers pick their size or 
   color and add the exact variation to cart without opening the product page, turning
   your filtered grid into a fast, one-stop shopping experience.
 * **[Smart Product Badges](https://trustyplugins.com/category-ajax-filter-pro/smart-product-badges-feature/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org)**:
   In listing go beyond the standard Sale badge with New, Best Seller, stock status,
   stock quantity and discount badges. Each badge comes with its own conditional
   logic, set a Low Stock Threshold to trigger a badge when inventory runs low, 
   show discounts as an exact value or a percentage off and combine these options
   to build flexible badges that appear exactly when they should.

**More Pro features**:

Dynamic Term Counts, Category / Term Page Mode, Extended revision history, Custom
fonts upload, Global font settings, include/exclude posts/products, Icon library,
Icons/images for terms & custom fields, Masonry layout, Loader styles, Elementor

## FAQ

### Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes, fully. Filter products by categories, tags, brands, attributes and price. Connect
the filter to your existing shop layout or build a complete custom product listing
with the builder’s product modules. Simple, variable and grouped products are all
supported. Star-rating filters are available in the separate Pro plugin.

### Does this work with custom post types?

Yes. You can target any registered post type, not just default WordPress posts, 
including WooCommerce products.

### Will it work with my existing layout?

Yes. Just create your filter in step 1 and place the shortcode with your existing
listing – no need to rebuild it.

### Does this work with Divi, Elementor and their product grid modules?

Yes. CAF filters work with Divi and Elementor shop modules, so you can filter the
product grids built with their widgets. You can also paste the CAF shortcode anywhere
in any page builder.

### Can I add multiple filters on the same page?

Yes. You can add multiple filters to the same page using their shortcodes.

### Will this slow down my site?

Filtering happens via AJAX, so only the results update, the page itself doesn’t 
reload. The plugin is built to run efficiently on standard WordPress hosting.

### Can I reuse a filter or layout on another site?

Yes. Use the export/import tools to move a full layout, a single filter, a module,
a post item template or just layout settings between sites.

### What does AI Search actually do?

[AI Search](https://trustyplugins.com/category-ajax-filter-pro/ai-search-feature/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org)(
Pro) uses semantic, NLP-based matching so results reflect what a visitor means, 
not just literal keyword matches. See the [live AI Search demo](https://caf.trustyplugins.com/demos/ai-search-demo/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wordpress_org).

 [crombie27](https://profiles.wordpress.org/crombie27/) 16. September 2026

I’ve been using this plugin mainly for product filtering, and I’m really impressed
with the CAF Builder. I used it to build a product listing with the filters I needed,
and the whole process was much easier than I expected. What I really liked is how
much you can customize. There are so many options available that I was able to set
up the listing and filtering exactly the way I wanted without feeling restricted
by the plugin. The functionality is also really rich. It’s not just a basic product
filter where you get a few checkboxes and that’s it. There are a lot of options 
to play around with, especially when you’re building a more customized product listing.
For me, CAF Builder is probably the best part of the plugin. It gives you a lot 
of control while still being fairly easy to work with. Really happy with how it 
turned out.

Yes, I've been using the free version, but it was enough. Now with the update to
3, you restrict filter shortcodes to only 1? Boo.

It works with custom posts and taxonomies and AJAX filtering is so fast and without
page reload. The customisation options are too flexible, allow you to create professional
filter and listing without writing a single line of code. I would rate in one of
the best filter plugin on the internet.

This plugin is excellent, and its so good we purchased the pro version.That's the
good, now the bad.It appears their site went down the other day (error establishing
connection to the database) and then, magically, our pro plugin 'lost' its license
and stopped working until their site went back online.It seems absurd to me that
developers create licensing checks that have no redundancy which can bring a website
crashing to a halt.

## Änderungsprotokoll

#### 3.1.1

(29/09/2026)
 * Filter Custom Text now runs shortcodes on the frontend. The builder
preview still shows the text as typed. * Prefixed unscoped PHP helpers with caf_
so they no longer collide with other plugins. Public AJAX action names are unchanged.

#### 3.1

(23/09/2026)
 * Locked Category / Term Page Mode and Query Restriction now appear
in Misc Settings (same placement as Pro; features remain Pro-only). * Checkbox and
Dropdown taxonomy pickers paginate roots, support search, and load more instead 
of fetching the full tree. * Clearing a term icon no longer re-applies the default
tag icon. * Builder lists no longer show bullet markers.

#### 3.0.5

(16/09/2026)
 * Dropdown Color Swatch label control is now Show/Hide only (Tooltip
tab removed). The closed select always shows the term name; Hide still applies to
the open list. * Multiple CAF filter shortcodes can now render on the same page (
the one-shortcode Free limit is removed). * Fixed a false „only one CAF filter shortcode
is allowed per page“ message when SureRank generated meta from page content. * Fixed
Classic Panel new-filter screens not auto-filling Title and Post Type from the layout
URL. * Added locked Category / Term Page Mode controls in Filter Settings. * Fixed
range slider decimal values (including WooCommerce price) being truncated to whole
numbers. Typed values like 0.540 stay as typed in labels. * Fixed Divi shortcodes
stripping Description module text in the builder preview and frontend. * Fixed the
range slider not dragging on mobile and tablet (touch support). * Fixed Classic 
Panel layouts when more than one CAF filter shortcode is on the same page. * Query
Restriction locked UI now matches Pro’s section layout (feature remains Pro-only).*
Fixed Query Only Taxonomy / Custom Field source boxes stretching out of alignment.*
Fixed Add to Cart Button Behaviour so the Pro lock covers Ajax Add to Cart only.

#### 3.0.4
