FacetWP Flyout Menu

Description

The Flyout Menu add-on turns the FacetWP facets panel into a sliding side menu, triggered by a fixed button that opens filters in a drawer overlaid on the content. Designed for listings with many search criteria, the add-on frees up space on the main page, organizes categories, price ranges, and attributes into a compact panel, and improves usability on small screens, with opening and closing controlled by smooth animation.

Key Features

• Sliding side panel
  Opens the facets in an overlaid drawer, triggered by a fixed button on the page.
• Native integration with FacetWP
  Reuses templates, facets, and listings already configured in the core plugin.
• Customizable trigger button
  Lets you adjust the label, position, and style of the trigger that opens the menu.
• Mobile-first layout focus
  Keeps the filters collapsed by default, freeing the main content on small screens.
• Smooth opening animation
  Displays the panel with a controlled transition and closes by clicking outside or a dedicated button.

Flyout Menu Benefits

• More space for results
  Removes filters from the main flow and gives the product or post grid more width.
• Optimized experience on phones
  Ensures comfortable use of facets on narrow screens, without excessive scrolling.
• Visual organization of the listing
  Reduces page clutter when there are many facets at the same time.
• Quick adoption in the project
  Leverages the existing FacetWP configuration, without rewriting search templates.

Who Is It For?

• WooCommerce stores with extensive catalogs and multiple filter attributes.
• Listing sites, directories, and portals with complex faceted search.
• Projects with heavy mobile traffic that need to save screen space.

Ideal for developers and agencies that already use FacetWP and need to reorganize the filter interface in mobile-first projects or with dense listings. The component delivers immediate usability gains by collapsing the facets into a side panel, keeping the visitor focused on results while preserving the native flexibility of the core plugin.
