Change filter type in categories

[Creo]

Hi everyone, did someone manage to change the filter design? for example instead of radio buttons to show buttons.

Hi,

Yes, it’s possible, but it will require a PHP snippet. For categories, you can use a PHP snippet, which is shown in this topic How to change categories field type in the filtrable zone - #10 (How to add custom code snippets - HivePress Help Center)

​I hope this is helpful to you.

Thanks andrii,

I like the dropdown but I think it will be better to show users the categories open, is there a way instead of a dropdown to use checkboxes?

Also it might not be related but is there a way when the user check a checkbox it will automatically update the list so the user won’t have to click on “Filter” button?

Hi,

Yes, it is possible, but it will require additional changes to the code. As for the automatic update, unfortunately, there is no simple snippet for this, it will require a custom implementation.

If customizations are required for your site, please try customizing it using the collection of code snippets https://gist.github.com/search?q=user%3Ahivepress and other developer resources, or consider hiring someone for custom work https://fvrr.co/32e7LvY
