FacetWP - Pods integration

Sites built on Pods often hold a lot of structured content: custom post types, custom fields, taxonomies and relational data. Visitors need a way to narrow that content down. This add-on lets FacetWP read Pods fields directly, so the same data you manage in Pods can drive the filters people see on the front end.

It works inside FacetWP's normal facet creation process and its Listing Builder, so you pick Pods fields from the interface instead of writing SQL or custom code. Developers can still adjust indexing, query behavior and facet output with hooks and filters. It fits directories, content portals and other sites with large sets of custom items.

Features

• Facets from Pods fields: Create facets based on meta data stored in Pods custom fields, so filters match the structure of your custom content types and taxonomies.
• Listing Builder support: Use Pods custom fields inside FacetWP's Listing Builder to display filtered results with the field values that matter for each item.
• No custom SQL or code: Configure facets through the FacetWP interface using Pods data, without writing custom SQL or code for common filtering setups.
• Native indexing of Pods fields: Pods fields are indexed natively, which supports relevant filter results on sites with large datasets that run to thousands of items.
• Many facet types: Apply checkboxes, dropdowns, sliders, date ranges and other facet types to Pods data, so visitors can filter on several dimensions at once.
• Customizable listing templates: Build flexible templates that pull in Pods meta fields, giving filtered results a fuller presentation than titles and excerpts alone.
• Works with common builders: The integration is described as working with Elementor, Beaver Builder and native WordPress blocks, fitting different developer workflows.
• Hooks and filters for developers: Developers can use hooks and filters to adjust indexing, query behavior and facet output when a project needs custom handling.

Best for

• Developers building sites on Pods custom post types
• Directory and content portal owners with custom fields
• Site managers who want filters without custom code
