Hi I am just looking for clarification regarding what the plugin can and cannot do. I bought my first license for a client in 2015 and I use it on another site as well with this newish license.

The plugin the client is looking for should be able to do the following:

1. It should allow for multiple filter types based on taxonomies for example product categories can be in checkboxes and Brands which is another taxonomy from another plugin e.g. Woocommerce Brands Pro can be in checkboxes as well. Also a price filter should be included These should be able to work together using this one filter plugin.
This seems that it already works

2. It should allow the creation of multiple different Shortcodes so that we are able to have different sets of filters on different categories for example using the Content Aware Sidebars Plugin
This seems that it already works

3. When creating a filter for a specific product category it should allow for the exclusion of other categories based on taxonomy id for example thus excluding their children as well.

I tried using [woof is_ajax=1 taxonomies=product_cat:165] this works sort of but it's doesn't hide my other main categories the reason might me that I am forced to add ?swoof=1 to category urls to make point #5 work

if your look at anither site https://broadcast.bswusa.com/nav/type/products/cat1/broadcast/cat2/broadcast_amplifiers/0 this is what I am trying to recreate Broadcast is still there although I am in a subcategory called Amplifiers



4. The plugin should allow for Hierarchical Display of children (subcategories) and children of children (subcategories of subcategories)

You plugin seems to do this but the main category disappears when I am in a subcategory

5. The selected terms should be on the top of the filter So for example if I have a main category called Broadcast and a subcategory called Antennas and I land on /product-category/broadcast/antennas then I expect to land on a page with the products from Antennas are shown but the filter in the sidebar should show Broadcast on the top of the filter ticked and bold and Antennas ticketed and bold right under Broadcast then after that the rest of the children of Broadcast un-ticked of course. As per requirement #3 above the rest of the main categories and their children should be hidden since I set their taxonomies to be excluded in the Shortcode for the category.
I can force the ticks to be added if I add ?swoof=1&paged=1 to the category slug not sure if that the right way to do it.

6. The filter should allow us to set a maximum number of visible terms of each taxonomy e.g. 6 Products Categories and 6 Brands with a link to click on each taxonomy to"show more" if the user wants to see more.

This can be done

The theme being used is Divi

Can you kindly check and tell me if this plugin can do all the above and guide me if I am using the wrong method to accomplish any of the above. Also let me know what the pluin cannot do based on the points above

Hello

1/2/6 - Yes. Watch a  video - https://products-filter.com/video-tutorials#video_beGT6p_look

3) This option does not hide anything. This is a prefiltration option. To  hide  terms - https://products-filter.com/hook/woof_sort_terms_before_out/

4) Yes/ correct

5) The plugin does not have this feature.

Thanks for taking the time to answer everything. Regarding point #4 Is there any way for the main Category to remain visible?

Hello

it's impossible and it doesn't make sense. If you select any other category on the category page, it will always give zero products

I actually agree with you so to make things happen the way the client wants want them to be I am trying to do a little trick using

woof_sort_terms_before_out

let's say I add a custom link to my nav that is this http://tru2.local/shop/?swoof=1&product_cat=broadcast,19-inch-racks

This will do what I need in terms of ticking my main category and the subcategory 19 inch racks as seen in the screenshot I am attaching https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Sqku05NDlaojSUNjXX63vkzcP9qzD3pT/view?usp=sharing but of course other main categories remain

Here's a list of my category ids
Uncategorized = 15 (hidden via plugin options)
Offers = 206 (hidden via plugin options)
Broadcast = 165 (this is supposedly where I am)

=================anything below this needs to be hidden so that the filter look liek I need it to============================
Studio = 174
Software = 265
Used Gear = 316
Components = 198

==================================================================================================

So obviously I need to code a little trying to remove 174,265,316 and 198 and hopefully their children  somehow here's what I came up with but I must be doing something wrong with unset I guess. If you feel like suggesting something feel free

[code]

add_filter('woof_sort_terms_before_out', function($terms,$type){
    // Test if the query exists in the URL
    //echo get_query_var('product_cat'); //this comes out with broadcast,19-inch-racks
if ( get_query_var('product_cat') =="broadcast,19-inch-racks") { //this tells me where I am so I know what to hide
    // If so echo the value
    foreach($terms as $term){
        //check  terms  and  delete
if(($term["term_id"] > 165 && $term["term_id"] <= 174 ) || ($term["term_id"] > 174 && $term["term_id"] <= 198) || ($term["term_id"] > 265 && $term["term_id"] <= 316) || $term["term_id"] > 316) ){
        unset($term);
        }
        }
        return $terms;
}
},99,2);

[/code]

Seems like unset isn't removing thee terms from the filter. Feel free to take a look if you have time I am desperately trying not abandon this amazing plugin

if should say

    foreach($terms as $term){
        //check  terms  and  delete
        if( ($term["term_id"] > 174 && $term["term_id"] <= 198)  ||
            ($term["term_id"] => 265 && $term["term_id"] <= 316)  ||
            $term["term_id"] > 316){
            unset($term);
        }
        }
        return $terms;
}
},99,2);

My final thought is this but still unset doesn't seem to want to comply

add_filter('woof_sort_terms_before_out', function($terms,$type){
    // Test if the query exists in the URL
    //echo get_query_var('product_cat'); //this comes out with broadcast,19-inch-racks
if ( get_query_var('product_cat') == "broadcast,19-inch-racks") { //this tells me where I am so I know what to hide
    // If so echo the value
    foreach($terms as $term){
        //check  terms  and  delete
        if(
            ($term["term_id"] > 165 && $term["term_id"] <= 174 ) ||
            ($term["term_id"] > 174 && $term["term_id"] <= 198)  ||
            ($term["term_id"] > 265 && $term["term_id"] <= 316)  ||
            $term["term_id"] > 316){
        unset($term);
        }
        }
        return $terms;
}
},99,2);

Hello

this trick won't work because only child terms are passed

The terms are formed here - \wp-content\plugins\woocommerce-products-filter\index.php - https://c2n.me/49F80dQ.png
