WooCommerce is a robust e-commerce platform that enables users to construct and configure online stores. One of WooCommerce's primary features is the ability to filter products based on multiple parameters. The default filters, however, may not always match the demands of every store owner.
In this blog post, we'll go over how to create a custom product filter to the WooCommerce shop page.
Step 1: Create a Custom Plugin
The first step is to build a custom WooCommerce plugin that will house the custom product filter code. You can make a new folder in the "wp-content/plugins/" directory and name it something unique. Create a new PHP file within this folder and name it the same as the folder. This file will be the primary plugin file.
Step 2: Add the Code for the Custom Product Filter
The next step is to apply the custom product filter code to WooCommerce. In this example, we'll make a filter that lets customers sort products by color. To the main plugin file, add the following code:
Step 3: Save and Activate the Plugin
Save the file and activate the plugin in the WordPress admin panel once you've added the code to the main plugin file. To activate the plugin, navigate to the "Plugins" menu and choose the newly generated plugin. To activate the plugin, click the "Activate" button.
Step 4: Test the Custom Product Filter
Go to the shop page after enabling the plugin and try the custom product filter. A new dropdown menu should appear, allowing users to filter products by color. When a user selects a color, the website reloads and only products that match the selected color are displayed.
Conclusion
Adding a custom product filter to the custom WooCommerce development is a simple and effective approach to improve your online store's user experience. You may easily design a custom product filter based on whatever criteria you like using the sample code supplied above.
