FacetWP - Hierarchy Select

FacetWP Hierarchy Select enhances the FacetWP filtering plugin with cascading hierarchical dropdown menus. Instead of displaying flat taxonomy lists, this addon presents categories in a parent-child dropdown structure where selecting a parent automatically loads its children in the next dropdown.

Hierarchical Filtering

• Cascading dropdown menus for multi-level taxonomies
• Progressive filtering that narrows results at each level
• Support for categories, custom taxonomies, and nested structures
• AJAX-powered child loading for smooth interaction
• Configurable depth levels for dropdown chains

User Experience

Visitors navigate through category hierarchies naturally, starting from broad categories and drilling down to specific subcategories. Each selection filters results and loads the next level of options, creating an intuitive browse-and-filter experience.

Use Cases

Particularly useful for product catalogs with deep category trees, geographic location filtering (Country → State → City), and any content organized in hierarchical taxonomies where flat filter lists would be overwhelming.
