Divi 5 is moving fast, and the Divi Extension ecosystem around it is following suit. We are now seeing more third-party developers release Divi 5-compatible versions of their plugins, and that’s a positive sign. It means developers are ready to build for the next generation of Divi’s framework. Site owners can also prepare for better performance, faster building, and more advanced functionality.
One of the latest updates comes from Divi Engine, known for building powerful add-ons for WooCommerce and custom post-filtering. Their plugin, Divi Ajax Filter, now has an initial Divi 5 version in beta. This plugin allows you to create filterable post and product listings that update instantly without reloading the page.
What Is Divi Ajax Filter?
Divi Ajax Filter is built by Divi Engine, and is just one of their many excellent products. It is a flexible solution for building live filtering experiences on your site. It’s especially useful for WooCommerce stores, blog archives, and custom post type directories. Instead of making visitors wait for pages to reload every time they adjust a filter, the plugin updates the content instantly via Ajax. This keeps your pages fast and smooth, which improves user experience.
The plugin supports filtering by categories, tags, custom taxonomies, and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF). For WooCommerce sites, that means users can sort by price, category, or other attributes. They can sort by date or title for blogs or custom post types.
Divi Ajax Filter adds several modules to the Divi Module Picker to accomplish all of this:
- Archive Loop – Displays a loop of posts, products, or custom post types.
- Filter Posts – Adds filtering controls like checkboxes, dropdowns, or radio buttons (works with the Archive Loop).
- Thumbnail – Shows post or product thumbnails inside loop layouts.
- Post Title – Displays post titles with customizable styles.
It also offers a list/grid switcher so users can toggle between layout views on the fly. On top of that, Divi Ajax Filter includes several pre-designed loop templates to help you quickly create stylish layouts without starting from scratch.
Divi Ajax Filter’s Key Features
Divi Ajax Filter lets visitors refine results in real time without reloading the page. It works across products, posts, and custom content, fits neatly inside your Theme Builder layouts, and includes ready templates you can customize in the Visual Builder. Here are the highlights:
- WooCommerce Compatibility – Filter and sort products instantly without reloading the page.
- Advanced Custom Fields Support – Use ACF values as filter criteria for custom post types.
- Category & Tag Filters – Filter blog posts or products based on WordPress taxonomies.
- Sorting Options – Sort by price, date, title, or other custom criteria.
- Transient Caching – Improves performance by caching filter results for repeat queries.
- Theme Builder Integration – Works well inside the Theme Builder for building archive pages.
- Pre-Built Templates – Start quickly with ready-to-use loop templates and customize them in the Visual Builder.
Using Divi Ajax Filter In Divi 5
With Divi 5, the Divi Ajax Filter plugin takes full advantage of the new architecture. Modules render in real time in the Visual Builder, allowing you to see and design every aspect of the new modules.
Here are a few things you can build with Divi Ajax Filter on Divi 5:
- Shop Archive Pages – Combine the Archive Loop and Filter Posts modules to build a filterable product catalog with category, price, and tag filters.
- Custom Post Type Directories – Create real estate listings, portfolios, or events directories. Use ACF filters to let users refine by fields like location, date, or price range.
- Tag-Based Blog Archives – Let users filter posts by tags, author, or published date while viewing your blog content.
Here’s an example allowing a search filter and pagination on a blog list.
And here’s how an Ajax Category Filter works. Very impressive and pretty fast thanks to Divi 5 and good build quality by Divi Engine!
