Universal Filter

How is Universal Filter different from Squarespace's built-in category filter?

Direct answer

Universal Filter gives you multiple filters on one page, tag filtering, a search field, and filtering for portfolios, products, and galleries — none of which native Squarespace offers. Squarespace's built-in filtering is limited to categories on some collection types, with no multi-filter, tag UI, or search field on collections.

What native offers

Squarespace’s built-in filtering is limited to categories on some collection types; there is no multi-filter, tag-filtering UI, or search field on collections (Squarewebsites).

What the plugin adds

Universal Filter delivers multiple filters, nested filters, tag and dropdown filtering, a live-search field, and support for product, portfolio, gallery, events, and blog filtering — “a lot more flexibility” than native (Squarewebsites FAQ).
