WCAPF – Ajax Product Filter for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 23% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Everything about this filter plugin is great except for one thing. As the title reads, this plugin will not display stock status correctly for variable products. Developers have confirmed that the instock filter assumes variables products are instock until all variable products are out of stock. So the below feature is incorrect. Filter by Product Status: Allow customers to filter products based on their status, such as featured or in-stock items. Seeing as ecommerce stores display a mix of simple and variable products, having a filter system that does not correctly display the stock availability of variable products makes this particular aspect of the filter pointless and the above statement false. Customer service has also been fairly prompt, I have had no issues here. Will change this review if the developer fixes the stock status filter.

   I was able to build solid filter on Free version. I checked almost all available filter plugins, and they either didn’t have required tweaks, or had non-intuitive interface, or often both. WCAPF combines super-easy interface and maximum instruments and options to create a filter of desired complexity. I contacted support couple times and got cheerful and useful response.

   Использовал различные плагины, но этот самый лучший и удобный и быстрый. В бесплатной версии покрыл все мои потребности, некоторые платные особо не покрывали. Вы лучшие! Продолжайте в том же духе. Спасибо большое!!!

   I tested recently most of the filter plugins and many of them have problems with product ordering, pagination and “and/or” relations. WCAPF was the only solution that covers al the problems I had before. Even the free version is much more powerful than most over the other premium solutions. Mainul, keep up the great work!
