How to set up and style the Filter Radio Buttons widget in Elementor.

Filter Radio Buttons shows the terms of a taxonomy as radio buttons. Visitors pick one, or All, and the connected loop widget shows the matching posts.

Set it up

  1. Add a Loop Grid or Loop Carousel and type a Query ID in its Layout section, for example blog-grid.

  2. Add the Filter Radio Buttons widget from the Bright Addons Filters category.

  3. Under Filter, choose the taxonomy in Filter By and the Layout.

  4. Type the same Query ID in Connect to Query ID.

  5. Publish the page and try the filter on the live page.

    typography, color and spacing of the heading.

  • Items

    accent color, space between items, text typography and colors, background, border, radius and padding, with hover and active colors.

Tips

  • The radio buttons are real form controls, so they work with the keyboard.

  • Give the Loop Grid or Loop Carousel a Query ID in its Layout section first, then type the same Query ID in Connect to Query ID.

Questions and answers

Does the page reload when a visitor uses the filter?

No. The connected loop widget loads the new results in place, and the other filters update to match.

What is the difference with Filter Tabs?

Both pick one term. Radio buttons suit sidebars and lists, tabs suit a row above the grid.

Can I filter an archive that uses Current Query?

No. Archives built on the current query use normal page links. Choose a source such as Posts or Products in the loop widget to filter it.
