What does the integration include?

Colors

In the Flatsome theme, you can define your own color palette. You can do it in Appearance -> Customize -> Style -> Colors. FiboFilters uses the Primary Color and Link Colors, so you don’t have to define them again in FiboFilters settings under the Appearance tab.

Breakpoint

The Flatsome theme uses two breakpoints: 550 px and 850 px. When the screen width is less than 850 px, FiboFilters will use the horizontal layout for the filters.

Ways to embed filters in the Flatsome theme

The most popular ways to embed filter UI elements in the Flatsome theme are:

  • adding them to the sidebar,
  • displaying them above the product listing as horizontal filters,
  • displaying them in the off-canvas area.

Go to WooCommerce -> FiboFilters -> General and select Sidebar in the Filter location section.

Then, go to Appearance -> Customize -> WooCommerce -> Product Catalog and select Left Sidebar or Right Sidebar under Catalog Layout:

Once this is done, go to Appearance -> Widgets and add the FiboFilters – product filters widget to the Shop Sidebar:

Off Canvas

Go to WooCommerce -> FiboFilters -> General and select Sidebar in the Filter location section.

Then, go to Appearance -> Customize -> WooCommerce -> Product Catalog and select Off Canvas under Catalog Layout.

Make sure the FiboFilters – product filters widget is added to the Shop Sidebar in Appearance -> Widgets.

As a result, the filters will appear in an off-cavas area, which appears on the left after clicking the Filter button above the products:
