Prostil Smart Ajax Filter Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Smart Ajax Filter lets you build front-end filter bars that refresh results instantly via AJAX — without writing a single AJAX handler. Create as many filter sets as you need from a simple admin screen, then drop each one into a page using a shortcode or the plugin’s own Elementor widget.
Each filter set can combine multiple fields — Search, Dropdown/Select, Checkbox, and Radio — bound to any taxonomy and its terms, and can drive one of four result actions:
- Query Posts – filter standard WordPress posts
- Query Products – filter WooCommerce-style product post types
- Filter CPT – filter any custom post type on your site
- Load Elementor Template – render matching items through an Elementor Pro Loop Item template
Key Features
- Visual filter builder — add, reorder, and remove filter fields from the admin screen; no code editing needed.
- Multiple filter types — Search, Dropdown/Select, Checkbox, and Radio, each bindable to any taxonomy and specific terms.
- Four result actions — Query Posts, Query Products, Filter CPT, or Load an Elementor Template, so one tool covers blogs, shops, and custom content types.
- Shortcode support — every saved filter gets its own shortcode, e.g.
[psaf_smart_ajax_filter id="12"], ready to paste into any page, post, or widget area. - Native Elementor widget — search for “Smart Ajax Filter” in the Elementor panel and configure a filter directly inside the page editor, with no shortcode or saved filter needed.
- Elementor Loop Item support — point a filter at an Elementor Pro Loop Item template so filtered results render with your own template design.
- Custom results target — results load by default into a
.psaf-resultscontainer, or you can point the filter at your own CSS selector to filter an existing grid on the page. - Configurable pagination and sorting — set results per page, order-by field, and sort direction per filter.
- Custom loading and empty-state text — set your own “Loading…” and “No results found.” messages per filter.
- Multiple filters per site — build unlimited independent filter sets, each with its own configuration, shortcode, and widget instance.
- Lightweight front end — vanilla AJAX requests with dedicated frontend CSS/JS assets, only loaded where needed.
How It Works
- Go to Smart Ajax Filter Add New in the WordPress admin menu.
- Choose a post type, result action (Query Posts, Query Products, Filter CPT, or Load Elementor Template), results-per-page, and sort order.
- Add one or more filter fields (Search, Dropdown/Select, Checkbox, Radio) and bind each to a taxonomy and, optionally, specific terms.
- Save the filter — you’ll get a ready-to-use shortcode, e.g.
[psaf_smart_ajax_filter id="12"]. - Paste the shortcode into any page or post, or open Elementor and drag in the “Smart Ajax Filter” widget to configure the same filter directly in the builder.
- Visitors filter results instantly on the front end — no page reload.
Requirements
- WordPress 5.8 or higher.
- PHP 7.4 or higher.
- Elementor (free) is only required if you want to use the native Elementor widget — the shortcode works with any theme or page builder.
- Elementor Pro is only required if you choose the “Load Elementor Template” result action to render results through a Loop Item template.
