Hello,
Thank you, we now understand where the Product Filters element is located.
However, our shop currently uses the standard XStore/WooCommerce shop sidebar with WordPress widgets, not an Elementor-built filter area.
From your screenshots, the Product Filters feature appears to be an Elementor element that must be placed inside an Elementor shop/archive template.
Can the new Product Filters system be used inside our existing standard shop sidebar/widget area, replacing the native WooCommerce attribute widgets?
Or would we need to rebuild our current shop/archive layout with Elementor in order to use Product Filters?
We specifically want to keep our existing shop layout and sidebar and only replace the current Color attribute filter with a visual color-swatches filter that does not cause the transient issue.
If Product Filters cannot be used in the standard widget sidebar, is there another XStore solution that provides visual color swatches inside the existing shop sidebar without using the legacy Swatches Filter?
We would prefer not to rebuild the entire shop archive with Elementor solely to obtain color swatches.
Thank you.
We would also like to emphasize that the native WooCommerce attribute filters are working very well from a performance perspective, but the visual result is not satisfactory for our store.
In particular, the Color filter is now displayed as a long list of color names with checkboxes instead of visual color swatches. For a swimwear and fashion store, this represents a significant downgrade in both design and user experience compared with the previous XStore Swatches Filter.
Therefore, keeping the native WooCommerce filter permanently is not an ideal solution for us. We need to preserve the visual quality and usability of the shop without reintroducing the severe performance problem caused by the legacy Swatches Filter.
Ideally, we are looking for a solution that allows us to keep our existing shop layout and sidebar, while displaying Color as visual swatches and maintaining the good performance we currently have.
