Hello there!
My name is Mercedes and I'm sending this message on behalf of my client and work colleagues with regards to the usage of Husky plugin.
Here is a short video of what is happening on our end, to better explain our inquiries.

A BIT OF BACKGROUND:
- Our Client (Leduc Goldsmith) had several developers from the past. These past developers somehow didn't organize the products properly. And so now, my colleagues and I are organizing their products on their behalf.
==== INQUIRIES BELOW ===
(1) RE PRODUCT IMPORT
Manually adding the attributes via Wordpress backend makes the product filters work properly on the front-end.
But when we were attempting to bulk import products via a CSV file, the attributes reflect on the backend, but aren't reflecting on the filters.
Our question: is there a preferred way for us to format the excel/csv sheet in order to make all product information (inclusive of attributes) import on the backend, and appear properly on the (front-end) product filters?
(2) We would like our filters to look like (design-wise) the filters on this site: https://independentjewellers.net/collections/all-jewellery
How do we do this?
(3) Load times, any recommendations to make loading of product filters search results load faster? Sometimes they load slow.
(4) For the product pages, is it possible to only use Husky's search bar on these pages?
Will await your thoughts.
Hello
Thank you for the very detailed explanation.
(1) The import method cannot affect the filter. The filter takes data from the standard functions of wp/woo. I think the problem is in the attribute type. A product can have two types of attributes: Global attribute (taxonomy) and text attribute (serialized array in meta data). There are no filters that work with text attributes. I think you should check what type of attributes the product has after import.
(2) Unfortunately in this case you need template customization. I think it can be done with CSS
(3) Please read this - https://products-filter.com/searching-is-slow
(4) To show text filter you can use shortcode - https://products-filter.com/shortcode/woof_text_filter How to add this on the product page depends on the current theme(product template)
Oh dear, so there is absolutely no way to make the import filter work the plugin? Maybe not use attributes, and just use something else that better organizes product info?
Or maybe you have a suggestion to make things easier to bulk import products into the site and still have the plugin work properly?
Just thinking aloud here as we'd prefer to bulk import the products, if possible.
Will await your response.
Thanks!
Hello
Ok! The filter and import of the product have no connection. All you need to do is to make the import work correctly.
Have you checked how the import plugin generates attributes? - https://share.pluginus.net/image/i20241106125507.png
Apologies.... it's me who misunderstood things.
I read everything again slowly. What I did is I made all"Custom product attribute" (text attributes) into"Global attributes" and the plugin finally showed the products I've testing on! Whew!
Now I have to figure styling the filters in a 'horizontal way'.
Hello
You can do this in the settings. Design tab -> https://share.pluginus.net/image/i20241107110406.png - The filter will be horizontal but unfortunately it will not have the styles you wanted.
