There are two available sidebar areas:

  • Shop Sidebar – For standard left/right sidebar filters
  • Filter Drawer Sidebar – For off-canvas (drawer) filter layout

You can use the following widgets to build your filter system:

  • Active Filters – Displays currently applied filters with remove option

Filter Drawer (Off-Canvas Filters) #

If you prefer a drawer-style filter panel, use the Filter Drawer Sidebar.

Then configure the drawer settings from:

Appearance → Customize → WooCommerce → Filter Drawer

  • Title
  • Copyright Text

To enable the filter drawer, go to:

Appearance → Customize → WooCommerce → Shop Page

  • Filter Drawer – Enable or disable
  • Filter Drawer Mobile Only – Show only on mobile if enabled
  • Filter Drawer Text – Button label text

Once enabled, a filter button will appear in the shop toolbar (above the product list). Clicking this button will open the filter drawer.

Tip: Use the Filter Drawer for a cleaner layout, especially on mobile devices, while keeping the Shop Sidebar for desktop users.
