FacetWP Hierarchy Select Add-On lets you create guided dropdowns based on a hierarchical taxonomy, simplifying complex filtering for users.

Bonus: seamless integration with existing FacetWP setup and a lightweight, user-friendly interface for Wordpress. Explore it today.

Description

The FacetWP Hierarchy Select Add-On for WordPress helps you filter content using guided dropdowns built from a hierarchical taxonomy. Instead of forcing users to scan long lists, it turns nested categories (like parent/child terms) into an intuitive step-by-step selection flow. This solves the common problem of complex filtering, where visitors can’t easily narrow results to the right section. By pairing with your existing FacetWP setup, the add-on keeps navigation clean and focused, improving product discovery across catalogs, directories, and content libraries.

Main Features

  • Guided dropdown filtering — Build user-friendly dropdowns that guide visitors through taxonomy choices.
  • Hierarchical taxonomy support — Use parent/child term structures to reflect real site organization.
  • Hierarchy-aware selections — Present options based on the selected level to reduce irrelevant picks.
  • FacetWP integration — Works alongside your existing FacetWP configuration for consistent filtering behavior.
  • Improved usability for large taxonomies — Helps simplify navigation when categories or attributes are deeply nested.
  • Lightweight WordPress interface — Provides a straightforward, user-focused way to set up hierarchy-based dropdowns.
  • Cleaner on-page filters — Replaces bulky filter lists with compact dropdown controls.

Benefits

  • Faster discovery — Guided choices help users reach the right results with fewer steps.
  • More accurate filtering — Hierarchy-aware options reduce mismatched selections.
  • Better UX — Dropdown navigation is easier to scan than long, flat term lists.
