Filter bar/navigation for pagebuilder template post loop

Hello,

I have a custom post type called “events” for e.g selected for the Posts loop settings Post Type to show up a grid of events

That´s great so far. Giving me all events with a pagination.

Now is it possible to have a little filtered navigation on top of that page? As i understand the “Filters for the loop” are only back end part.

Visitors would like to filter through different criteria of the post type like for e.g “custom_date”, “category”, “price” …

Can´t see a way to do this, so i tried to install a 3rd party plugin called “Search % Filter Pro” (http://docs.designsandcode.com/search-filter/). The problem here, when adding this to the page created (mydomain.com/events) filtered selections won´t stay on that page and redirect to category page. instead only updating the grid of data.

I don´t want to use something complex like Essential Grid Plugin or so because i have bad experience with it in the past like bad performance and so on.

Maybe you can help me with it.

thanks

thanks for your kind reply.

Hi again,

would it be at least possible to get taxonomies added to the post loop settings. I can´t see a reason why its not there. You can filter posts based on a custom post type. But my post type also has taxonomies i would like to filter for.

I watched your code but you convert the regular wp queries to some custom arrays, at least it looks like that.

Maybe you could provide me with some quick help where and how to add functionality for it?

that would be superb.
