WooCommerce Products Meta Data Filters is a simple but powerful WordPress plugin to filter your WooCommerce products

Filter by product weight, product length, product width, product height, product custom fields, product ACF fields and much more!

The filtering will only work on WooCommerce pages (main WooCommerce shop page, archive product lists) etc. It will not function on custom product lists added to custom pages eg. via a 3rd party plugin or via shortcodes.

2. Label: Put the label of the element you are filtering eg. “Width:”
3. Meta Key: Select the meta key you want to filter by
4. Filter type: Select “List” to display all available values of this meta key or “range” to create a slider if you are filtering by a numeric value, eg. the weight of the products
5. Order options: Select the order of the filter’s values
6. Order Autorefresh: This will remove the submit button from a “range” filter and will auto submit the filter when it has been changed

  $types['checkbox'] = __( 'Checkbox', 'wmf');

  return $types;
}
