Descripció

Accordion UI – category tree (hierarchical), size sliders (length / width), shape, colour swatches, production type, material. Any source can be added as a list, swatch or range filter from the settings page.
Reads every kind of product data – global attributes (taxonomies), custom per-product attributes (the text ones on the product edit screen), and shipping dimensions / weight (including variations) through a small product index that is kept fresh on every product save.
Full-height layout by default (the Elementor popup scrolls); optional inner-scroll layout with sticky buttons.
Instant Apply – the result page is prefetched (or prerendered) in the background while the user is still choosing.
OR inside a filter, AND between filters. Counts next to every option are live (facet counts respect all other filters) so users never pick an empty combination.
Apply reloads the page with clean URL parameters (?ffwc_color=red,navy&ffwc_length=80-200) and filters every Elementor Loop Grid / Posts widget whose Query ID matches, plus the main WooCommerce product query.
Category aware – on a category page the category is pre-selected; choosing a sub-category (or another category) navigates to that category URL so the main route stays in sync. Multiple categories inside one branch stay on the branch URL with ffwc_cat=; categories from different branches go to the shop page.
Fast – all counts are grouped SQL, cached in transients and auto-invalidated whenever products or terms change.
Dynamic – terms, categories, colours and min/max values are read from the store, never hardcoded.

Setup

Activate the plugin (requires WooCommerce; Elementor is optional).
WooCommerce Fast Filter: check the auto-detected attribute mapping (length, width, shape, colour, production type, material) and adjust if needed.
In Elementor, add the Fast Filter widget (category «Fast Filter») inside a Popup or any container — or use the [fast_filter] shortcode.
In the Loop Grid widget: Query Query ID = fast_filter (configurable).
Optional: Products Attributes Colour edit a term «Swatch colour» to override the auto-detected colour.

Shortcode

* fast_filter_query_tax_query – filter the tax_query clauses applied to product queries.
* fast_filter_facet_tax_query / fast_filter_facet_base_where – adjust facet counting SQL.
* fast_filter_js_config – adjust the front-end configuration.
* JS event fastfilter:apply on document (detail: { url, state }) fires right before navigation.
* elementor/query/{query_id} is used for Loop Grid integration; woocommerce_product_query for the main query.

Registre de canvis

3.0.1

WordPress.org review: every option, transient, cron hook, query var and URL parameter now uses the ffwc_ prefix (URLs read ?ffwc_color=red), Requires Plugins: woocommerce header added, and the settings option declares an array sanitize callback.

3.0.0

Requires PHP 8.2+ (tested on PHP 8.5). Code base modernised: strict types, enums, readonly value objects, first-class callables.
Smart queries: one id-set query per request feeds every unselected facet (one grouped query for all flat taxonomies, one per category tree, one for custom attributes); the product count is derived from the same id set.
All filter term lists are stored in a single cache entry, so a page load does one cache read instead of one per filter.
Facet cache entries are keyed by the effective clauses, so the live-count request and the resulting page share the same entry.

2.2.2

Fewer per-request queries: no table check / status lookups on normal page loads, category link map cached, no id precompute for the empty selection.

2.2.1

Index table: prefix indexes + InnoDB so creation no longer fails with «Specified key was too long» on utf8mb4/MyISAM hosts.
No translation calls before init (WP 6.7 _load_textdomain_just_in_time notice).

2.2.0

Matching product ids are precomputed while the shopper is choosing, so the Loop Grid / shop query after Apply is a plain «ID IN (…)».
Live counts use a light early-exit endpoint (/?ffwc_facets=1) instead of the REST API; REST stays as fallback.
Cache warming: sitemap of filter URLs for cache crawlers (/?ffwc_sitemap=1) and an optional built-in WP-Cron warmer.

2.1.0

Shipping dimensions / weight are read directly from product meta (variations included) — no index table required.
Attribute terms with no products are listed greyed out instead of hidden.
Index table creation is verified; failures are shown in admin with the DB error. Index self-builds after plugin updates (no activation needed) and continues without WP-Cron.

1.1.0

Product index: custom (per-product) attributes and shipping dimensions/weight, incl. variations, as filter sources.
Auto-detection of sources in English and Persian; «Reset filters to auto-detected defaults».
Full-height layout by default; inner-scroll layout optional.
Prefetch / prerender of the result page for near-instant Apply.
Fixes: Reset kept the old parameters; Apply was disabled when the count was 0; Elementor popup re-initialisation.

1.0.0

Initial release.
