Blog Filter Premium retrieves existing WordPress content and displays it in a grid that visitors can filter by category, tag, or both. Filtering updates the posts without a page reload. The add-on also works with custom post types and their taxonomies.

Choose the layout and filters

A standard grid places posts in even rows and columns. Masonry arranges items of different heights more closely, which suits archives with varied featured picture sizes. Responsive layouts adapt to desktop, tablet, and phone screens. Premium templates include layouts with up to four columns, plus options to conceal featured pictures or filter controls.

Visitors can use category buttons, tag buttons, or both. For larger archives, enable the Load More button to fetch additional posts without refreshing the page.

Set up and place a grid

1. Install and activate the add-on.
2. Open Blog Filter Settings and pick the appearance and filtering options.
3. Copy the generated shortcode.
4. Paste it into a page, post, widget area, or page builder section.

The plugin retrieves posts and displays the filters, layout, and loading behavior based on your options.

Choose what each post displays

Show or hide post titles, dates, authors, and other metadata. Premium options include five thumbnail hover effects, lightbox popups for featured images, links from images to single posts, and an alternate presentation for titles, dates, and authors. Set filter colors, adjust thumbnail image resolution, or add custom CSS. Widget support allows placement in a sidebar.

Use it for different archives

Category and tag filters can help readers view blog topics or news sections. Grid and masonry layouts also suit visual portfolios, galleries, and magazine-style pages. Custom post type support lets you apply the same approach to content beyond standard posts.

Language support

Available translations include Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. You can translate the plugin into another language using standard WordPress translation methods. Priority support is also listed among the premium capabilities.
