AJAX Post Filter Demo

A lightweight WordPress plugin I built to demonstrate my approach to custom WordPress development. This sample shows how I handle common client requirements like dynamic content filtering and responsive layouts.

What This Demo Shows

I built this to showcase my WordPress development style - particularly how I:

  • Structure clean, maintainable plugin code
  • Implement smooth AJAX interactions
  • Write modern, responsive CSS
  • Handle WordPress security properly

Quick Demo

Drop the [ajax_filter_posts] shortcode on any page and you'll get:

  • Post grid with category/tag filters
  • Smooth AJAX loading (no page refresh)
  • "Load more" pagination
  • Mobile-friendly layout

Want to customize? Use parameters like:

[ajax_filter_posts posts_per_page="9" show_filters="categories"]

Code Overview

The plugin structure demonstrates my typical approach to WordPress development:

wp-ajax-filter-posts/
├── ajax-filter-posts.php   # Main plugin file
├── js/
│   └── script.js          # AJAX handling & UI interactions
└── css/
    └── style.css         # Responsive grid layout

I focused on:

  • Clean OOP structure
  • Proper WordPress hooks
  • Security best practices
  • Performance optimization

Why I Built It This Way

  • Used CSS Grid for the layout - it's perfect for responsive post grids
  • Implemented AJAX to avoid page refreshes - better UX
  • Added load-more instead of pagination - works better for dynamic content
  • Kept it lightweight - no unnecessary dependencies

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin folder to WordPress
  2. Activate it
  3. Add the shortcode to any page
  4. That's it!
