FacetWP - Custom Hooks

Custom code for FacetWP often ends up in the theme's functions.php file. A single PHP error there can take a whole site down, and the code is easy to lose when the theme changes. This add-on moves those customizations out of the theme and into their own space, which keeps maintenance simpler and lowers the risk of crashes caused by a typo in a hook.

Once the add-on is in place, you write hooks and filters for FacetWP in one spot. You can adjust indexing, change query logic, or modify how facets, pagers and sorting options are displayed. That makes it useful on sites with filtered content such as stores, recipe collections or directory listings, where search behavior often needs to match specific requirements.

Features

• Hooks without theme edits: Add and manage custom hooks on their own, so you do not need to change your theme's functions.php file to adjust how FacetWP works.
• Isolated custom PHP: Custom code lives apart from the theme, so a mistake in one of your hooks is less likely to crash the site.
• Indexing hooks: Use hooks to adjust indexing, including triggering the indexing process programmatically, which helps when you manage large datasets and need facet results kept current.
• Query customization: Change filtering, sorting and querying logic for advanced cases, such as dynamic content queries tailored to the needs of your own site.
• Output modification hooks: Modify how facets are rendered, how the pager is displayed and which sorting options appear, so the search interface fits your design.
• Prebuilt hooks and filters: Work with a wide range of FacetWP hooks and filters covering indexing, querying and output, giving you precise control over facet behavior.
• Simple hook management: A developer-friendly environment makes it straightforward to add, manage and deploy the hooks that extend FacetWP.
