I created a wordpress account just to be able to leave a review. Lool! This plugin is actually fantastic! Thanks!
Best filter plugin
By 
This is the best post and taxonomy filter plugin I have seen. It removes your need to create a post layout for the results as its own grid is very well thought out. And it works much faster than an expensive filter plugin I had purchased recently.
Powerful, flexible and comprehensive
By 
Excellent plugin with a wide range of customisation options. It's incredibly comprehensive and covers just about everything you'd need. The documentation is clear, and the instructions are easy to follow, even for more advanced features. Highly recommended!
Excellent Plugin

Yu know a plugin is good if I go out of my way to review it. It easy to use, robust and looks great.
Great plugin
By 
This plugin works out of the box, grids are easy to set-up, but leaves enough customization to the user (css, etc). Highly recommended.
Well-developed and comprehensive
By 
This is an excellent and well-developed plugin. Simple to use out of the box, but with lots of options under the hood if you want to customize it. It has comprehensive documentation and the developer is responsive and helpful. Thank you 😊🙏
Great, just Great!
By 
The plugin is absolutely great. It is almost 100% customisable.
Support answered my enquiry in the forum quickly. That helped me enormously.
Another important point is that it is REALLY a free plugin. You are not annoyed anywhere with ‘premium features’ that you have to buy to use it completely. That's rare these days!
Many thanks for that!
To the developers;
At least add a ‘donate button’. You deserve that!
Best Ajax Filter - Awesome Support
