Great filter
Great filter, customizable but not insane. Exactly what I need. Support responded almost immediately to questions.

It does basics very well
The rating is tough for me. I do like the basic filtering capabilities, and after 30 minutes of testing things out, I got it to do what I wanted. However when I wanted to use the contents of a custom field to filter posts, I was told I had to dig into the code. Which I might be able to do, but it has been at least ten years since I coded, so I'm not trying. The description also indicates you can have your own template. But that is described no where, which is how most things are documented. There is very little except a long list of code snippets. So if you want to do some basic filtering, this is a great choice, and if you understand coding in WP, it is a great choice. But it is not for non-coders wanting more than the basics. But then again it is free, what can you expect?

So flexible to customize and add categories and tags for blog
I have tried other plugins, but this one is perfect for me! Very well done, clean dashboard with a great oversight. You can literally customize everything, if not in the dashboard, then with your own css. The Ajax function works well and fast on my website. I use it for my Blog page to add the filter function there. Great Work! Thanks!

A wonderful plugin!
There are a lot of settings and, most importantly, there is a filter by category!

Very useful plugin
This is a useful plugin for easily filtering custom posts and taxonomies and powerful when needing to go beyond the admin settings. And the plugin author was very helpful when I ran into a technical issue.

Great Plugin!
This is a great plugin! Hope able to have more post layout to choose instead of code ourselves.
