FacetWP - Submit button

Instant filtering refreshes the results after every click. On sites with a lot of data, that can slow things down and make the experience feel jumpy. This add-on lets visitors pick everything they want, then press a button to see the filtered content. Site owners can turn off FacetWP auto-refresh and control when filters are applied.

The add-on can also place facets on one page, such as a homepage or landing page, and send visitors to a separate results page when they submit. The selected filter data travels with them, so their choices are kept. This suits directory sites, online stores, recipe collections and other dynamic listings where the filter area and the results work better apart.

Features

• Manual submit button control: Visitors apply their selected filters only when they are ready, which replaces automatic refreshes with a deliberate step.
• Cross-page filter data transfer: Chosen facet data passes from the filtering page to a dedicated results page, so visitors keep the selections they made.
• Custom redirect URLs: Site owners can define the destination URL where filtered results appear, which supports different site structures and page layouts.
• Works with all facet types: The add-on works with checkboxes, dropdowns, sliders, date ranges, star ratings, maps and more, so existing filter setups can stay as they are.
• Page builder and template support: It is compatible with Elementor, Beaver Builder, Bricks and custom WP_Query implementations, which gives you room to design the filter and results pages.
• Multi-step search flows: Visitors can choose filters step by step across pages before they view the results, which fits longer search workflows.
• Auto-refresh can be disabled: Sites that want a controlled filtering process can turn off FacetWP instant updates and rely on the submit button.
• Hooks and filters for developers: Developers can use hooks and filters to customize how the submit behavior fits into more complex projects.
