 3. Go to Settings > Product Filter to configure

## FAQ

### How do I display the filter?

Use the shortcode `[nwsfilter_product_filter]` in any page or post, or add it to
your theme template using `<?php echo do_shortcode('[nwsfilter_product_filter]');?
>`

### Can I display selected filters separately?

Yes! Use the shortcode `[nwsfilter_selected_filters]` to display only the active/
selected filters with remove buttons. This is useful when you want to show filters
in a different location or when you’ve hidden them from the main filter form.

### How do I change the order of filters?

In the admin settings (Settings > Product Filter), you can drag and drop the filter
items to reorder them. The order you set will be reflected on the frontend.

### Can I customize the appearance?

Yes! The plugin includes comprehensive CSS classes that you can override in your
theme’s CSS file. All main elements have specific classes like `.nws-filter`, `.
filter-group`, `.range-slider`, etc.

### Does it work with AJAX?

The filtering uses URL parameters and page reloads. The interface includes a loading
indicator for better user experience.

### Can I hide selected filters from the main filter form?

Yes! In the admin settings, enable “Hide Selected Filters in Filter Form” and use
the `[nwsfilter_selected_filters]` shortcode to display them elsewhere.

### How do I enable category auto-expand?

In Settings > Product Filter, check the “Auto-expand Parent Categories” option. 
This will automatically expand parent categories when viewing a subcategory.

### What WooCommerce versions are supported?

The plugin requires WooCommerce 4.0 or higher and is tested up to WooCommerce 8.0.
