fSelect

Overview

The fSelect facet type generates a dropdown combo-box. It supports multi-select, and also includes a search box to narrow choices.

Available Options

Name	Description
Data Source	Where the values live (taxonomy, custom field, post attribute)
Multi-select?	If “Yes”, this facet type will accept multiple selections, and will display a checkbox-style UI.
Default Label	Set the label for the first dropdown option (default: “Any”)
Parent term	If Data Source is a hierarchical taxonomy and you want to display only child terms, enter the parent term’s ID.
Sort by	Sort facet choices by Facet Count, Display Value, Raw Value, or Term Order
Hierarchical	Whether to indent child terms
Behavior	How the facet reacts when clicked (appears only for Multi-select) Narrow the result set – “AND” operator Expand the result set – “OR” operator
Show ghosts	Show choices that would return zero results?
Preserve ghost order	Keep ghost choices in the same order (mixed with valid choices)?
Count	The number of options to display

What are ghosts?

Ghosts are facet choices that do appear in the unfiltered results — but disappear after being filtered out. If a facet choice has no associated content, then it will never appear.

Hide Counts

To hide counts from all dropdowns, add the following to your theme’s functions.php:

add_filter( 'facetwp_facet_dropdown_show_counts', '__return_false' );

To hide counts from specific facets, use this instead:

add_filter( 'facetwp_facet_dropdown_show_counts', function( $return, $params ) {
    if ( 'your_facet_name' == $params['facet']['name'] ) {
        $return = false;
    }
    return $return;
}, 10, 2 );

Hide the Search Box

add_filter( 'facetwp_render_output', function( $output ) {
    $output['settings']['YOUR_FACET_NAME']['showSearch'] = false;
    return $output;
});
