Tick several terms to narrow a loop widget.

Overview

What Filter Checkboxes does

FAQ

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.

Can I combine two checkbox filters?

Yes. Filters of different taxonomies are combined, so a post must match each of them.

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.
