Universal Filter Plugin Guide

What You'll Create

Advanced filtering interface with multiple filter criteria, search functionality, and sorting options for Summary Blocks and Blog lists. Filter by categories, tags, or custom attributes simultaneously.

The Problem It Solves

Squarespace's native filtering is limited to single categories. When you need multi-criteria filtering (like filtering recipes by both cuisine type and dietary restrictions), there's no built-in solution. This plugin adds enterprise-level filtering to your content.

Perfect For

Resource libraries, Course directories, Recipe databases, Member directories, Product catalogs with multiple filter criteria, Event listings.

What Makes This Different

The Universal Filter plugin provides a complete filtering solution with dropdowns, checkboxes, search, and sort options. Filters can be positioned in sidebars or above content. Results animate smoothly with configurable transition effects.
