Collapsing filters

By default, the first 5 filters are always expanded, while subsequent filters are collapsed. This behavior can be adjusted in the plugin settings under WooCommerce -> FiboFilters -> Appearance -> Allow collapsing filters.

The option applies to all views, including desktop, mobile, and off-canvas. However, you can set a different value for each of these views, which requires using a PHP snippet as demonstrated below. 

Setting collapsing values for different views

When the “Allow collapsing filters” option is enabled, all three keys (collapse_after, off_canvas_collapse_after, mobile_collapse_after) are set to 5 by default. This means that filters will collapse after the fifth element in all views.

Here’s an example of how to use the filter to customize collapsing behavior across different views:

add_filter( 'fibofilters/filters/collapsing', function ( $collapsing ) {
    $collapsing['collapse_after']            = 3; // Collapse after the third filter
    $collapsing['off_canvas_collapse_after'] = 0; // Collapse all filtersin the off-canvas view.
    $collapsing['mobile_collapse_after']     = -1; // Do not collapse any elements in the mobile view.

    return $collapsing;
} );

Explanation of specific values

  • Value > 0 – Filters collapse after the n element.
  • Value 0 – This value collapses all filters in the corresponding view.
  • Value -1 – This value disables collapsing entirely, ensuring that all filters remain fully expanded in the view.
