Description

Facet Stack add-on adds a new type of facet to FacetWP that groups values from multiple existing filters into a single consolidated list. Designed for sites with extensive catalogs and overlapping taxonomies, the component reduces visual clutter in the filter sidebar and allows visitors to see all related options grouped into a single point of selection.

Key Features

  • New facet type
    Registers an additional type in the list of available facets within the FacetWP panel.
  • Multiple source grouping
    Combines values from different configured facets into a single unified structure.
  • Compatibility with existing facets
    Utilizes facets already created on the site without requiring reconfiguration of the original sources.
  • Configuration via default panel
    All stack setup occurs within FacetWP’s own administrative interface.
  • Consolidated filtering for visitors
    The end user interacts with a single filter box covering multiple data categories.

Benefits of Facet Stack

  • Sleeker filter bar
    Reduces the number of visible filter blocks simultaneously on the listing page.
  • Streamlined navigation
    Visitors find what they’re looking for without navigating through multiple separate selectors.
  • Leverage existing configuration
    Prevents redoing taxonomies or data structures already implemented in FacetWP.
  • Cleaner mobile layout
    Small screens gain space through filter consolidation into a single component.

Who is it recommended for?

  • WooCommerce stores with extensive catalogs and many product attributes.
  • Directory sites, real estate listings, or classified portals that use multiple filtering axes.
  • Developers and agencies maintaining FacetWP projects who need to organize complex filter bars.

Facet Stack is a targeted addition for those already adopting FacetWP in facet search projects who face the problem of overloaded filter interfaces. By consolidating sources into a single selection point, the component preserves the wealth of available data and keeps the visitor experience focused, without multiplying components on the results page sidebar.
