I´m re-building a Woocommerce site for a client.
They are using “WBW Product Filter” and I can´t get it to filter at all. It just reloads the same products.
It feels like I looked at everything.
Deactivated plugins, tried a bunch of different permalink settings etc.
The native Bricks filters works (they are now turned off), but not this one.
The reason we have to use a plugin like this is because the client have put all kinds of attributes as tags. So what WBW also does is to group the tags into different filters. And those filter groups are added to the product page. Note! It works on their old site that is built with Elementor.
Could someone please please nudge me in the right direction?
How are you using it? Have you set-up a sidebar in a template for product archives, or are you using a shortcode? Is the page rendered by Bricks or WooC? Can you share screenshots of the structure (right-panel in Bricks builder). Have you contacted the plugin devs - because their docs are very basic and don’t discuss how the plugin works in much detail (how it hooks in, if it needs any specific template functions/calls).
Yes, as a sidebar. I found they had a shortcode for “products” as well. It works but it´s a shortcode outputting something that looks like the basic woo feed. Not styled and, since it´s a shortcode, there are no options for using the Bricks styling options.
If I could just use atleast the Bricks product widget, my problems would be solved.
My hope was to use a query loop.

I’m afraid I can’t help much. WBW has specific compatibility for Elementor through an add-in (I don’t use Elementor so can’t say much more). That’s why it works.
It’s only guesswork, but… In my experience Filters need to know what loop they apply to. I would guess that out-of-the-box WBW is looking for the WC standard product loop… or it’s own (as in the structure you posted). I don’t know how you showed products with Bricks… but I suspect it modifies the loop so that WBW isn’t seeing it anymore as the product loop. So filters have no effect.
