FAQ
-
Theme compatibility
-
This plugin has been designed to work with themes that adhere to the WordPress and WooCommerce coding guidelines and maintain the standard WooCommerce shop page architecture. The majority of WooCommerce themes are compliant with these requirements, so most likely annasta Filters will work on your site with no need for additional adjustments.
You are welcome to contact us if you feel that you need an advice or help with the plugin integration with your theme, but please keep in mind that in some cases only the theme author can fix an incompatibility originating from non-compliance with the above-mentioned requirements. -
Troubleshooting
-
If you are facing a problem with the functioning of the annasta Filters, please take a minute to look through our Troubleshoot Guide to see if the solution to your issue has already been described there.
Before contacting us for the resolution of your issue, we ask you to kindly follow these steps:
1. If there is a newer version of plugin available, perform an update to see if the issue has already been addressed.
2. Turn on the default WooCommerce theme (Storefront) and see if the problem disappears. If it does, it should mean that the problem lies in the plugin interaction with your theme. You can still contact us to see if we can come up with a fix, just let us know that the problem that you are facing is related to the plugin incompatibility with your theme.
3. Try to disable other active plugins (except for the WooCommerce), one by one, to see if the problem is caused by a conflict with another plugin.
4. Contact us to describe the issue. -
Feature requests
-
We do maintain the program of the new features introduction for the future plugin releases, so there is a chance that the functionality that you are seeking is already on that list. You can contact us to find out if the feature that you are interested in is scheduled to appear in the next releases. If it turns out that it’s not on our To Do list, but your inquiry concerns an existing feature improvement, or coincides with our features development plan, we will consider your request in the future releases.

This plugin is just the one I've been looking for, for a long time! 100% customizable (both in filter settings & in design options). I've faced a few issues with the appearance adjustments (because of some problems with my WP Customizer), but due to the precious (and instant!) help of Anastasia from the plugin support team, everything works perfectly now.
Highly recommended for any e-commerce project!

Very good support, easy to use filter!

Honestly, I'm so impressed by the devs and support!
Initially I had a small issue with the plugin or I thought I did ... But support team went out of their way to assist ... out of their way and beyond! Utterly impressed, seen no support like it yet!

I tried many other filtering plugins that were all bloated, poorly performing and hard to customize.
Annasta filters is the opposite - Really intuitive to use with all necessary features and good performance.
The support was also really helpful with the integration.
Definitely worth the pro version.

Thanks so much, this plugin is not only doing what it should - but also accompanied by a great and quick support, if needed. And always open for new suggestions (some of the preferences might be a bit tricky at first). Highly recommended!

I am webdesigner now for over 20 years, the developers of this plugin do care so much of their clients. Woo-commerce is bit complex and filtering is key for a good user experience. So I tested a lot of plugins, but this is plugin that has sliders to find exactly what you look for. To get it work in combination with Divi you need a little bit more about working with short-codes. The support department helped me very quickly en very correct.
Thanks guys!! You deserve 5 stars!!!
