= Plugin Features Highlights =

* Use the annasta Filters **Guttenberg block**, **shortcode**, widget, or a WooCommerce hook to [insert the filters into a sidebar, header, or other elements of your site](https://annasta.net/plugins/annasta-woocommerce-product-filters/tutorials/getting-started/#inserting-preset-into-the-site). To change the initial off-canvas sidebar behavior, customize the [Visibility](https://annasta.net/plugins/annasta-woocommerce-product-filters/documentation/preset-settings/visibility/) of the pre-installed preset.
* Our plugin will filter the WooCommerce shop and archives (product category / tag / brand pages), and can also be [set up to work with the WooCommerce [products] shortcodes](https://annasta.net/plugins/annasta-woocommerce-product-filters/documentation/plugin-settings/shortcodes-pages/). On any other page of your site the filters will act as links to the corresponding filtered results of the main WooCommerce shop page.
* [Control the pages on which you wish to display your filters](https://annasta.net/plugins/annasta-woocommerce-product-filters/documentation/preset-settings/display-on/), display different filter sets for different categories / brands / tags (multiple presets are available in the premium version).
* Try the annasta dedicated [AJAX mode](https://annasta.net/plugins/annasta-woocommerce-product-filters/documentation/product-lists-settings/ajax-mode/) for even **faster AJAX filtering**.
* URL filters: whenever needed (for SEO or other reasons), [setup your filters as HTML hyperlinks](https://annasta.net/plugins/annasta-woocommerce-product-filters/documentation/preset-settings/filtering-style/).
* **Step-by-step filters style** with extensive settings allows the [creation of product finders](https://annasta.net/plugins/annasta-woocommerce-product-filters/documentation/preset-settings/step-by-step-filters-settings/), with or without redirects.

* Our **Products price filter** can be styled as a range slider or a list of predefined price ranges. Dynamic min/max price slider values can be enabled in plugin options.

Stock status filtering for the variable products can be enabled with the help of the [Stock filter variations support](https://annasta.net/plugins/annasta-woocommerce-product-filters/documentation/plugin-settings/stock-filter-variations-support/) beta option.
* **Products rating filter** will display WooCommerce products by rating ranges, e.g. 0 - 1, ..., 2 - 3, 4 - 5 stars.
* **Featured products filter** will limit results to the products that are marked as featured.
* **On sale filter** will limit the filtered results to the products that have sale price.
* **Product meta data filters**: create filters out of WooCommerce product meta data, such as length, width, date, or any custom meta fields.
* **Products per page control** will let your shop visitors select the desired amount of products per page.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Theme compatibility =
This plugin has been designed to work with themes that adhere to the Wordpress and WooCommerce coding guidelines and maintain the standard WooCommerce shop page architecture. The majority of WooCommerce themes are compliant with these requirements, so most likely annasta Filters will work on your site with no need for additional adjustments.
You are welcome to contact us if you feel that you need advice or help with the plugin integration with your theme. Please keep in mind that in some cases only the theme author can fix an incompatibility originating in the non-compliance with the above-mentioned requirements.

= Troubleshooting =
If you are facing a problem with the functioning of annasta Filters, please take a minute to look through our [Troubleshoot Guide](https://annasta.net/plugins/annasta-woocommerce-product-filters/troubleshoot/) to see if the solution to your issue has already been described there.

Before contacting us for the resolution of your issue, we ask you to kindly follow these steps:
1. If there is a newer version of plugin available, perform an update to see if the issue has already been addressed.
2. Turn on the default WooCommerce theme (Storefront) and see if the problem disappears. If it does, it should mean that the problem lies in the plugin interaction with your theme. You can still contact us to see if we can come up with a fix, just let us know that the problem that you are facing is related to the plugin incompatibility with your theme. 
3. Try to disable other active plugins (except for the WooCommerce), one by one, to see if the problem is caused by a conflict with another plugin.
4. Contact us to describe the issue.

= Feature requests =
We do maintain the program of the new features introduction for the future plugin releases, so there is a chance that the functionality that you are seeking is already on that list. You can contact us to find out if the feature that you are interested in is scheduled to appear in the next releases. If it turns out that it's not on our To Do list, but your inquiry concerns an existing feature improvement, or coincides with our features development plan, we will consider your request in the future releases.
