A dropdown filter lets visitors select a category to filter listings, like "Restaurant," "Retail," or "Healthcare." It pulls values from a tags field on your listings.
How to Add a Dropdown Filter
- Go to Widget Settings → Search & Filters
- Click Add → Dropdown Filter
- Select which tags field to filter by
- Set placeholder text (e.g., "Filter by category...")
- Save your settings
You need at least one tags field on your listings before you can add a dropdown filter. The filter's options come from the tag values across your listings.
Configuration Options
Placeholder text: the default text shown when nothing is selected.
Multi-select: allow visitors to select multiple values at once (e.g., show "Coffee" AND "Bakery" listings). Off by default (single-select).
Show count: display a count badge showing how many listings match each option.
Requires
- A Categories & Tags field with values assigned to your listings.
Sorting by Category
You can also sort listings by tag priority — go to Widget Settings → Sort and select a tags field. Drag tag values into your preferred order so certain categories appear first (e.g., Featured listings on top).
