The Membership Plan Filter is a custom search filter for Voxel that allows users to filter posts by the author’s membership plan. This is perfect for directory sites, marketplaces, or any site where you want to let users find posts created by members with specific subscription levels.

The filter integrates seamlessly with Voxel’s Paid Memberships module and automatically retrieves all active membership plans from your site, plus a “Guest” option for users without a membership.

Key Features

• Dynamic Plan Detection: Automatically retrieves all active membership plans from Voxel
• Multiple Selection: Users can select multiple membership plans at once
• Two Display Modes: Show as popup dropdown or button group
• Search Functionality: Built-in search when you have 5+ plans
• Default Values: Pre-select specific plans in Elementor
• Real-time Filtering: Works with Voxel’s AJAX search system
