A visitor who filters a listing by category usually loses that state the moment they copy the page’s URL – the filter was applied only in the browser, not reflected in the address bar.
Dynamic Listing’s Filter Type set to AJAX Base keeps the active filter in the URL itself, so the filtered view can be bookmarked or shared as a link.
For the full settings tour of the Dynamic Listing widget, see Dynamic Listing Widget Settings Overview.
Requirement – This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro, make sure it’s installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.
Before You Start
- Prerequisite: Elementor (free) installed and active.
- Edition: Dynamic Listing is a Pro widget – it needs The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro installed and its license activated. It will not appear in the free plugin.
- Widget to enable: go to The Plus Addons > Widgets, search for Dynamic Listing and turn its toggle on.
Steps
- Add the Dynamic Listing widget, turn on Category Wise Filter.
- Set Filter Type to AJAX Base (instead of the default Normal).
Clicking a category filter button now updates the URL to include that category, without a full page reload – copying that URL and opening it fresh reproduces the same filtered view.
Settings Overview
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Filter Type | Normal (reload) or AJAX Base (URL-persisted, in place). | Normal |
| Search Type | Whether the URL segment uses the term ID or its slug. | Slug |

Not verified
So you know exactly what has and has not been checked:
- The AJAX-in-place filtering itself is confirmed live (clicking a category button genuinely narrowed the grid without a reload). The resulting browser address bar URL was not itself captured in a screenshot – a page screenshot cannot show the OS/browser chrome – so the exact URL format the filter appends was not visually verified here, only the in-place filtering behavior it depends on.
- Whether the shared URL also restores pagination/load-more scroll position, or only the category filter itself, was not specifically tested.
