Auto Render

On classic themes the plugin places filters automatically on WooCommerce archive pages - no setup, no shortcode needed.

Where Filters Appear

• Shop page - the main WooCommerce shop archive.
• Category archives - product category pages.
• Tag archives - product tag pages.

How It Works

The plugin hooks into woocommerce_before_shop_loop and runs the same renderer as the shortcode and block, so the markup, styling, and behaviour are identical everywhere. A filtered page with no products still shows the filters so shoppers can change their selection.

Mobile Layout

Below 640px, the filter stack collapses behind a Filters button with a badge showing how many filters are active. Tapping it opens the panel. Active-filter chips stay visible outside the drawer so shoppers always see what’s selected.

Disabling Auto Rendering

The plugin registers its auto-render as an object-method hook, so the removal snippet has to recreate a matching instance. Add this to your theme’s functions.php:

add_action( 'wp_loaded', function () {
    $public = new Wb_Ajax_Filter_Public( 'wb-ajax-filter', WB_AJAX_FILTER_VERSION );
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop', array( $public, 'add_wb_ajax_filters' ) );
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_no_products_found', array( $public, 'add_wb_ajax_filters' ) );
} );

Then use the shortcode or the block where you want the filters to appear. A plain remove_action( ..., 'add_wb_ajax_filters', 10 ) will not work - the callback was registered as an array on a class instance, not as a named function.

Notes

• Automatic rendering works on classic themes that fire woocommerce_before_shop_loop. Block themes usually do not fire that hook, so on a block theme use the block or shortcode instead.
• With no presets enabled, the automatic output renders nothing.
