Using Ajax To Filter WooCommerce Products

Filter WooCommerce Products By Variations.

Using the filter item stock status helps your customers to display in-stock and out-of-stock products depending on product variations. For example, color, and size.

For example, there is a product that has 4 colors(red, blue, orange, and black) and 4 sizes (small, medium, large, x large) suppose that the color red doesn’t exist with all sizes so when a client clicks the red color this product doesn’t display and the client can click out of stock to see it.

Filter any WordPress custom post types including blog posts. You can filter any post type by any criteria including categories, tags, meta, date, author, search, and taxonomies.

This feature works only on the post archive and taxonomies pages. you need to disable the option “use ajax”.
