Filter sets and placement
Create filters for shop, category, tag, search results, attribute pages, custom pages, shortcode, and widget placements.
Feature map
The homepage should sell the outcome. This page lets developers, catalog operators, SEO teams, and store owners check the deeper product surfaces without reading the full Reference.
Core system
Do not organize this page around internal IDs or option counts. The visitor is checking outcomes.
Create filters for shop, category, tag, search results, attribute pages, custom pages, shortcode, and widget placements.
Categories, tags, attributes, custom taxonomies, price, rating, stock, sale, featured products, sort, and fuzzy search.
Counts, hide empty, grey out unavailable, sort values, custom order, exclude terms, show more, and search inside long lists.
Auto apply or button apply, loaders, debounce, pagination, result count updates, and selector mapping for custom themes.
Mobile popup or drawer patterns, breakpoint control, accordion/stacked/tabbed layouts, and touch-friendly controls.
Question flows, conditional answers, progress, results, and answer editing for complex product selection.
Query, hash, clean URL modes, selected parameters, canonical, robots meta, noindex rules, and sitemap decisions.
Index tables, result cache, count modes, rebuild index, max products per query, and honest live-count caveats.
Selectors, compatibility modes, debug, import/export, reset settings, and rebuild workflows for agencies.
Decision matrix
This helps the page avoid becoming a flat feature dump.
| Role | What they check | Feature proof | Internal link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Store owner | Can I launch without code? | Filter set, placement, shortcode/widget, starter docs | Docs: create first filter |
| Developer / agency | Will AJAX work with this theme? | Selector mapping, debug, compatibility modes | Compatibility |
| Catalog manager | Will values and counts stay accurate? | Hide empty, grey out, count modes, variations, stock | Large catalog docs |
| SEO / marketing | Can we control URL and index behavior? | URL modes, selected parameters, canonical/noindex | SEO URLs docs |
| B2B / complex catalog | Can the filter guide buyers? | Step Filter, conditions, results, modify answers | Use cases |
