Woo Custom Filter Widget is a free WooCommerce plugin, which allows users to create WooCommerce custom filters and display filters anywhere on any page. Using this plugin you can add advanced product filtering ability and unlimited filters to your WooCommerce shop by using filter widgets.
If you are looking for a feature-rich experience for any kind of filters, then we recommend you use our other plugin Woo Choice Plugin since that is more actively developed, we hope you will enjoy it more! After installing Woo Choice Plugin, just enable shortcode filters or filters for shop/category pages from the setup wizard. And if you are running a jewelry/diamond or clothing site, then Woo Choice Plugin has a lot for you!
