What it does

Bricks Builder makes it easy to design post grids and product listings, but visitors still need a way to narrow down long lists of content. This add-on lets FacetWP talk to Bricks query loops so filters like checkboxes, dropdowns and sliders can refine those listings. FacetWP detects Bricks elements that contain post loops automatically, which cuts down on setup work. You build the layout in Bricks as usual, create your facets in FacetWP, and the two work together on the same page.

It fits blogs, directories, online stores and any site with a lot of browsable content. Posts, custom post types and WooCommerce products are all supported. For accurate results, the integration relies on turning off the "Cache query loops" option in the Bricks Performance settings, a single toggle. Developers who need more control can use hooks and settings to adjust indexing, query behavior and how facets are displayed, so the setup can be shaped around a specific project.

Best for

Sites designed with Bricks Builder that need content filters
WooCommerce stores with product grids built in Bricks
Directories and blogs with large post or custom post type libraries
