HUSKY – Products Filter Professional for WooCommerce

HUSKY, known for years as WOOF – WooCommerce Products Filter, is a product filter plugin from PluginUs.Net (developer RealMag777) that has been on the market since 2015. It adds a filter form to shop and category pages, or anywhere through a shortcode or widget, and lets shoppers narrow products by categories, attributes, tags, custom taxonomies, price and product meta.

The plugin is built around a core filter plus a large set of bundled extensions that you switch on as needed. The free WordPress.org version already ships with many of them: in-stock, on-sale, featured and rating checkboxes, text search across title, content and excerpt, ACF fields, a step-by-step wizard, a slide-out container, a statistics module, Turbo Mode (which avoids heavy MySQL queries on the front end) and SEO URL rules that turn filter combinations into clean links you can add to a sitemap. Dynamic recount shows how many products each option will return, and AJAX mode updates results without a page reload.

Free vs Professional

The Professional version unlocks the visual filter types (colour and image swatches, labels, hierarchical drop-downs, attribute range sliders), SKU search, hiding of empty terms, variation images, and removes the free caps of two meta filters, two SEO URL rules and one Smart Designer element. On the vendor site it is sold as an annual licence from $49 for one site, with 10-site, 1,000-site and $99 lifetime options; it is also listed on CodeCanyon at a much higher one-off price.

Limitations

• The admin is dense, with a lot of options spread over many tabs and extensions; it takes time to learn.
• Swatches and range sliders, which many stores want, are paid.
• No dedicated Gutenberg block or Elementor widget; it works in builders through shortcodes and an Elementor-grid guide.
• The vendor says it works with about 95% of themes and advises testing before going live.

HUSKY suits stores that want a very configurable filter with search statistics and SEO filter links, and are happy to spend time on setup. Shops that want a simpler, builder-first experience may prefer Filter Everything or BeRocket.
