The default filter bar reloads the whole page every time a visitor clicks a category or tag button, which feels slow on a long page.
Setting Dynamic Listing’s Filter Type to AJAX Base filters the grid in place instead – only the cards themselves refresh, not the page.
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 Normal).
Clicking a filter button now shows a brief loading state and swaps the grid’s contents without a page reload or scroll-position jump.
Settings Overview
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Filter Type | Normal (reload) or AJAX Base (filters in place). | Normal |
| Filter by | Filters by Category or by Tag. | Filter by Category |
