To do this, make sure you’ve added some products to your WooCommerce store, then you have to use the WP Search Filters widget with the Product Listing widget.

> *Note: Make sure you’ve enabled both WP Search Filters and Product Listing widgets from **The Plus Addons **→** Widgets ***

Place the widgets in your desired location on the page or template, then follow the steps -

1. In the Product Listing widget, select **Search List **from the **Product Listing Types** dropdown.

2. Then select the appropriate style and layout.

3. In the WP Search Filters widget, open the **Category** item under the **Filter Area**.

4. From the **Filter Type** dropdown select **WP Filter** and **Tabbing Filter** from the **Select Source** dropdown.

> *Note: You can also select the Drop Down option as well.*

5. Then select **Taxonomy** from the **Select Type** dropdown.

6. From the **Select Taxonomy** dropdown, you can select **product_cat**. 

7. From the **Select Media** dropdown, you can add an image or icon to the tabbed buttons.

8. From the **Show Image** toggle, you can show or hide the image or icon from the tabbed button.

9. Then you have to turn on the **Woo Sorting** toggle, and from the **Select** field, you can set different product status based filters such as In Stock, Out of Stock, Top Sales, On Sale and Featured.

> *Note: To use On Sale and Featured status, make sure you have set discounted price for some products and marked some as featured products.*

> *Note: When you use the Woo Sorting option, it sets filter based on the value set in the Select field and the option selected in the Select Taxonomy dropdown becomes irrelevant.* 

Now you should be able to see tabbed buttons with different status labels which can be used to filter products.

From the **Show Count** toggle, you can show the product number in each category.

You can turn on the **Show Tick icon** toggle, to show a tick icon when a button is enabled.

Then from the **Show More** section, you can limit the number of items by adding a toggle button. You can also set a fixed height from the **Scroll Height** toggle, then users have to scroll to see all the options.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if the WP Search Filters widget is not showing up?**
A: If the WP Search Filters widget is not appearing, ensure that both the WP Search Filters and Product Listing widgets are enabled in The Plus Addons for Elementor settings. This step is crucial because the filtering functionality relies on these widgets being active to work correctly.

**Q: What is the best way to display product filters for a better user experience?**
A: For optimal user experience, consider using tabbed buttons for your product filters. This layout allows users to quickly switch between different stock statuses, such as In Stock and Out of Stock, without overwhelming them with too many options at once.

**Q: What common mistakes should I avoid when setting up product filters?**
A: A common mistake is neglecting to enable the Woo Sorting toggle, which is necessary for the filter to work based on product statuses like In Stock or Out of Stock. If this toggle is off, the filter may not function as intended, leading to confusion for users.
