WordPress Ajax Filter Posts

Description

A WordPress plugin to filter posts with taxonomies terms and load more posts via Ajax. You can add posts and filters via a shortcode on any page.

[ajax_filter_posts post_type='recipe' tax="meal_type, food_type, diet_type"  posts_per_page="12"]

This plugins uses no dependencies, is translatable and WPML ready.

Parameters

• post_type Post type to show. Default post.

• tax A comma seperated list of taxonomies to filter the post by. Default post_term.

• post_per_page Numbers of maximum posts to retreive at a time. Default 12.

Overwriting template files

To easily overwrite template files you can copy one or more of the files in the templates folder to your own theme. Create a folder ajax-filter-posts in the root of your theme directory and copy the files in that newly created folder. Keep in mind that you have to keep the folder structure intact. For example: If you want a custom version of loop.php, you copy the file to <<your-public-folder>>/wp-content/themes/<<your-theme>>/ajax-filter-posts/partials.

Motivation

I build a lot of sites that needed a functionality like this and decided to create a plugin for it. Although there are a lot of plugins doing something like this, they usually add a lot of bloat and are not developer friendly. This plugin is for a developer easier to implement, easier to edit and keeps te codebase cleaner.
