Filter group

Overview

The filter group block provides an easy way for users to refine and explore your content by filtering blog entries or articles based on tags or categories. This block is best used on content-rich pages to help visitors quickly locate topics or categories of interest. By offering clear, focused filtering options, the filter group makes navigation and discovery more intuitive for your audience.

💡 Tip: Using the filter group block can significantly improve content findability and user experience, especially in blog-heavy or article-driven layouts.

Key components and functionality

The filter group block features several settings that let you tailor how filters are presented and interact with visitors. Customizing these ensures that filters are relevant, straightforward, and visually consistent across your site.

Filter group settings

Adjust the following options to create a user-friendly, functional filtering interface that matches your site's needs and layout style.

Display open by default

This setting manages whether the filter panel appears expanded or collapsed when the page loads. If you enable this setting, all available filtering options are shown immediately, streamlining discovery. If disabled, the panel stays collapsed, which creates a cleaner, less cluttered design.

Default: enabled

Filter title

Set a descriptive title for the filter group so visitors immediately understand its function, such as Categories, Topics, or another relevant heading. A clear title helps users quickly grasp the purpose of the filter panel and improves overall navigation.

Filter tags

Specify which tags to display as filtering options by providing a comma-separated list. Only the tags you list here will be available for visitors to select. Keeping this list concise and meaningful allows for smarter, more intuitive filtering and helps avoid overwhelming your users.

⚠️ Important: Use exact tag names that match those in your content. Regularly updating this setting ensures the filters remain useful and relevant.

Available in sections

You can add the filter group block to the following section:

1. Blog content

📝 Note: The filter group block is only available within the Blog content section and cannot be used elsewhere.

Usage notes

1. Always use short, descriptive titles so the filter group's intent is clear.

2. Limit the number of tags per block to prevent overwhelming your audience.

3. Update filter titles and available tags periodically to align with your latest content and categories.

4. Ensure all language used for titles and tags is accessible and easy to understand.

5. Test filter groups on multiple devices to maintain a consistent, responsive, and accessible user experience.

⚠️ Important: Displaying your most useful filters open by default improves discoverability. For less-trafficked categories, keeping groups collapsed helps preserve a neat, organized appearance.
