Looking for a Solution to Filtering Posts by Category
6 replies · Started by Samuel on November 11, 2017
I want to add a filter to allow people to easily filter my posts by category. I have a number of categories in a hierarchy. So, for example, Category A contains Category A1, A2, etc. Category B contains Category B1, B2, etc. I want to provide a menu where people can choose from the Category A options or the Category B options to filter posts.
I've seen the Search & Filter plugin which may work, but I'm wondering if there's a better solution or a plugin by Tom I haven't discovered yet :)
Hi there,
Nothing by me currently, so you'll have to use an existing plugin unfortunately.
It is something I'll add to WP Show Posts at some point, but probably not directly in GP.
Cool. It would be great to be able to add whatever you work up to the default posts page. I love WPShowPosts also.
On this topic, we would like to "showcase" a catalog of our courses/products (which are all pages) to our "all courses" page (via a shortcode).
I don't see a way to achieve this directly with GP, but WP Show Posts seem like it could perhaps do what we need.
When I select Under Posts > Post Type > Page
Is there a manual (or plugin) way to add/attach a Taxonomy to specific pages, so that a group of them can be called with WP Show Posts?
Thx Tom!

Pages don't have taxonomies by default in WordPress. You'd likely be better off creating a custom post type, and adding taxonomies specific to it.
Tom, there ended up being a much simpler solution.
WP Show Posts > More settings > Post IDs
... then I simply listed all the page IDs coma-delimited in the Post IDs field.
Worked perfectly.

Awesome :)
