Ajax Filters on Sidebar

Hi guys  – invested in your plugin today and hopefully will be using it in about 6-7 more ecommerce sites over the coming months.

Ok so let me try to explain here what I’m asking!

I encountered your plugin when it came packaged (free version of your plugin) along with the Goya Theme from Themeforest – was my first time licencing Goya and I have it ear marked to use with a fashion website I will be doing shortly.

I liked how the sidebar Filters allowed you to show Filter by Colour and in the drop down DISPLAY TYPE select box – you not only had List and Select – but you also had Swatch and Button.

See screenshots here – Goya theme also comes with the plugin (WC Ajax Product Filters by Shamim Al Mamun) which is what these widgets are:

Backend on the Widget:

Front end how it shows:
https://ibb.co/64ZNzzP

So they are able to bring the colours/image thumbs I choose on YOUR plugins attributes colour choices (even 2 tones in the pro version etc) and display them then within the Filter widget.


Now my question is this….

I’m currently developing another site (for which I bought your PRO plugin for) and tried to replicate this situation.
So setup my Colour attributes, choose the colours etc – then added the Filters plugin and tried to setup the sidebar filters BUT they do not give me the Filter Types of Swatch and Button – thereby not being able to create the little colour swatches from your attribute setups.

Does this make sense!? lol
Screens here – site is using a different theme – its using Flatsome – so I’m wondering did Goya somehow custom code from your plugin to the Filters plugin to pull in your colours and images (if saying picking a pattern) – or I am totally missing something?

Here’s all I see in the 2nd site using Flatsome – I’ve your Pro plugin and the same Filters plugin installed.

I’ve been testing all day with other Ajax filter plugins but none seem to ‘talk’ with your colours or images used in the attributes – you have to rechoose the colours within the filter plugin which is not what I want at all…

Hoping you can help or point me in right direction!! Here’s what I see in site 2:

Backend: – note I don’t have the Swatch and Button options within the Filters dropdown for ‘Display Type’

Frontend – just totally NOT what I want – a list :/

Hoping this makes sense!!!

If you could point me in right direction I would be very appreciative as I really need these filters to work hand in hand with the Brands, Colours, To Fit (Size) and Material attributes I plan to setup for the Bed Linen site (Site 2)

Thanks in advance guys! Great plugin btw!
