QueryCraft is a powerful and intuitive filtering plugin for WordPress, built with modern code and best practices. It allows you to build advanced filters for your posts, WooCommerce products, or any custom post type, with support for clean, SEO-friendly URLs.
Core Features:
- Filter by Anything: The current version provides robust filtering by any taxonomy (e.g., categories, tags, product attributes).
- Flexible Display: Display filters as checkboxes, radio buttons, or a dropdown menu to best suit your needs.
- Highly Compatible AJAX Engine: An advanced AJAX mode rendered page fragments. This ensures that updated content, pagination, and the filter widget itself perfectly match your theme’s styling and structure, every time.
- Clean URLs for SEO: Enable „Clean URLs” to transform messy query strings (
?category=news) into SEO-friendly permalinks (/category/news/), with deep integration into WordPress’s Rewrite API. - Customization Options: A dedicated settings page provides extensive options, allowing you to control the filter mode (AJAX/Redirect), hide terms with no posts, show/hide post counters, and set a max height for filter lists to enable scrolling.
- Widget Integration: Easily add your filters to any sidebar or widget area using the „QueryCraft Filters” widget, which is designed to automatically inherit your theme’s title styles.
Future Development (Roadmap)
QueryCraft is under active development. We are committed to making it the most powerful and user-friendly filtering plugin for WordPress. Here are some of the exciting features planned for future releases:
- More Filter Criteria: Support for filtering by Custom Fields, Price, Ratings, Post Date, and more.
- Keyword Search: An integrated search box to filter results by keyword.
- Result Sorting: Allow users to sort the filtered results by various criteria (e.g., Price, Date, Title).
- Live Filtering (Auto-Submission): An option to apply filters instantly as the user makes a selection, without needing to click a button.
- Shortcode Support: Place your filters anywhere on your site using a simple shortcode.
- Enhanced Visual Options: Introduce beautiful visual filters like Color Swatches and Image/Logo Swatches.
- Advanced Layouts: More layout options, including Horizontal filters and multi-column displays.
- Deeper Page Builder Integration: Dedicated widgets/modules for popular page builders like Elementor, Divi, Oxygen, etc.
- Advanced SEO: Full control over meta titles, descriptions, and other SEO data for filtered pages.
- Filter Any Custom Query: The ability to apply filters to any custom post loop or grid on any page, not just main archive pages.
We are excited about the future of QueryCraft and welcome your feedback as we continue to grow!

GYIK
-
Will this plugin work with my theme?
-
Yes. The plugin has been architected for maximum theme compatibility. The primary AJAX mode is designed to work seamlessly with almost any theme’s structure and styling. In the rare case of a conflict, you can disable AJAX in the plugin’s settings to use the universal „Redirect Mode,” which is guaranteed to work with all themes.
-
How do I use the „Clean URLs” feature?
-
First, in the settings for a specific „Filter Set,” check the box to „Enable Clean URLs and click the „Save Changes” button.
-
Can I filter by custom fields?
-
The current version focuses on providing a powerful and robust taxonomy filtering experience. Filtering by custom fields is a planned feature for a future release.
-
How do I change the style of the filters?
-
The plugin is designed to inherit as much styling as possible (fonts, colors, etc.) from your active theme. The widget title automatically matches your theme’s other widget titles, and the „Apply Filters” button uses the standard WordPress
.buttonclass. For further customization, you can apply your own styles using custom CSS.
