    Hello again, Could you modify your plugin to use these features as an option?

    1. When users click the home button, you can set these plugins to maintain the filters by storing the filter state using URL parameters (e.g., ?category=sports&tag=news).
      Ensure the plugin settings are configured to include query parameters in the URL. This way, even if a user navigates away and comes back, the filtered state remains.
    1. Set Up URL Parameters
      Some plugins allow you to enable URL parameters for each filter. This means that when a filter is applied, the URL changes to reflect that filter (e.g., example.com/?filter=sports).
      When a user navigates back to the homepage using that URL, the filter state will still be active.
      To implement this, you can check the plugin settings to enable “URL updating” or “permalink filtering.”
    2. Session or Cookie Storage
      Another method is to use session storage or cookies to save the user’s filter preferences. This approach requires a bit of custom development:
      Write JavaScript to save the filter selections in local storage or session storage.
      When the homepage is loaded, check if there are saved filter preferences and apply them automatically.
      This can be combined with AJAX to make the experience smoother.
      For a more straightforward solution, look for a plugin that supports session-based filtering, where filter preferences are maintained across page loads.
    3. Custom Code
      If the plugins you’re using don’t support this feature directly, you can add custom JavaScript and PHP code:
      JavaScript: Save the filter state in local storage or session storage when the user applies a filter.
      PHP: Modify the query on the homepage to check if there are active filters in the session and apply them to the posts being displayed.
      This requires familiarity with WordPress hooks like pre_get_posts.

    Custom Code

    • If the plugins you’re using don’t support this feature directly, you can add custom JavaScript and PHP code:
      1. JavaScript: Save the filter state in local storage or session storage when the user applies a filter.
      2. PHP: Modify the query on the homepage to check if there are active filters in the session and apply them to the posts being displayed.
      • This requires familiarity with WordPress hooks like pre_get_posts.

    Example Code (JavaScript Approach):

    javascript

    Код хуулах

    // Save filter state to localStorage jQuery(document).on('change', '.filter-input', function() { let filterValue = jQuery(this).val(); localStorage.setItem('currentFilter', filterValue); }); // Apply filter state on page load jQuery(document).ready(function() { let savedFilter = localStorage.getItem('currentFilter'); if (savedFilter) { jQuery('.filter-input').val(savedFilter).trigger('change'); } });
