# How to Create a Shareable URL with Category Filter For Blog Posts in Elementor?

## 

- URL Enable adds the chosen category to the page address in the Blog/Post Listing widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor, so the link opens a blog listing already filtered to one category.
- The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro shows URL Enable only when Category Wise Filter is switched on and Filter Type is set to AJAX; the control does not appear with Normal filter type.
- URL Enable works on the Blog/Post Listing widget on a Normal Page with any layout except Carousel, and it is not available on Archive Page or Single Page Related Posts.

Do you want to send someone a link that opens your blog listing already filtered to one category? URL Enable adds the chosen category to the page address, so the link can be shared.

It works with the AJAX category filter in the Blog/Post Listing widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor.

## Before You Start

- **Edition:** **Pro** — URL Enable is part of The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro. In the free plugin this control does not appear in the panel at all. The Category Wise Filter it relies on is Pro too.- **Widget to enable:** Blog/Post Listing, switched on under **ThePlus Settings > Widgets**.

## Step 1: Add the widget

Add the **Blog/Post Listing** widget, keep **Post Listing Types** on Normal Page, and choose any layout except Carousel.

## Step 2: Turn on the filter and choose AJAX

In **Content > Category Wise Filter**, switch on **Category Wise Filter** and set **Filter Type** to **AJAX**. URL Enable does not appear with the Normal filter type.

## Step 3: Turn on URL Enable

Open **Content > Special Option** and switch on **URL Enable**.

## Step 4: Test the link

On the published page, click a category, copy the address from the browser, and open it in a new window. The listing opens with that category already selected.

Useful for linking from a newsletter or a menu straight to, say, your Tutorials posts, without building a separate page for them.

## Settings Reference

| Setting | Where | Default |
| ------- | ----- | ------- |
| Category Wise Filter | Content > Category Wise Filter | Hide |
| Filter Type | Content > Category Wise Filter | Normal |
| URL Enable | Content > Special Option | Off |

## Limitations

- **Pro only.**- **AJAX filter type only.** With Normal, URL Enable is hidden.- **Not on Carousel**, Archive Page or Single Page Related Posts.

## Troubleshooting

### URL Enable is missing

Set **Filter Type** to AJAX, or Post Loading Options to Load More. It needs one of the two.

### The link opens with All selected

Copy the address after clicking the category, and test on the published page.
