Set up the "template" you will place this shortcode in your Recipe Index page  [facetwp template="recipe_index"]

Set up the "facets" for the filter option. These will be specific to you, but here is the main one we use.

→ this will make sure you can select multiple checkboxes to filter posts

Once filters are set up you can add the shortcodes to the "Widgets Sidebar" aka Sidebar 1 as Showit knows it. You can view our client widgets here and how we set up the titles and shortcodes.

We have included a filterable Recipe Index option. If you choose to use this page in place of the Category style recipe index, you will want to get the FacetWP plugin and follow their instructions for setting up your filters. The WordPress Template is set to "page-recipe-index" to have it populate your content, if you would like your recipe titled something different, just make sure to update the WordPress template as well (ex. "page-page-name") to make sure this template links to the correct page.
