FacetWP - Hierarchy Select

Large catalogs and directories often have deep category trees. A single long list of options makes visitors scroll and guess. This add-on uses the natural hierarchy of your taxonomy and creates one dropdown for each depth level. A visitor picks a top-level term first, then the next dropdown offers the terms beneath it, and so on until the results match what they want.

It works as a facet type inside FacetWP, so it fits into a faceted search setup you already run. You add a new facet, configure the hierarchy levels and place it on a listing page. It supports custom post types and custom taxonomies, such as WooCommerce products, recipe categories or car listings, and it can be used with page builders including Elementor, Beaver Builder and Bricks.

Features

• Guided hierarchical dropdowns: Visitors filter content one taxonomy level at a time. Each dropdown represents a single depth level, which keeps complex searches orderly and easy to follow.
• Labels for each level: You can set a custom label for every depth level of the hierarchy, so each dropdown tells visitors what to choose and matches your content structure.
• Works with FacetWP facets: The add-on runs natively with FacetWP facets, so hierarchical filters sit alongside the faceted search setup you already have.
• Page builder compatibility: Hierarchical filters can be added in Elementor, Beaver Builder, Bricks and other builders, giving you design flexibility without writing code.
• Custom taxonomies and post types: It supports advanced content structures, including WooCommerce products, recipe categories and car listings, wherever your content is organized in parent and child terms.
• Quick facet setup: Add a new facet with a few clicks, configure the hierarchy levels and place it on your listing pages.
• Responsive dropdowns: The dropdown filters are built to work across devices, so mobile and desktop visitors can both drill down through categories.
