1. Select Option: Choose the filter type (Event Categories, Tags, Venues, Organizers, etc.).
2. Choose Category(s): Select one or more specific items from the chosen taxonomy. Based on your selected option, you willbe able to choose Tags, Venues, Organizers, etc.
3. Operator: Choose IN or NOT IN to include or exclude selected items.
4. Add to Ajax Live Filters: Enable this to add the filter to the live interactive controls for your visitors.

   1. Filter Type: Button, Dropdown, Radio, Checkbox.
   2. Filter Icon: Add or remove an icon.
   3. Button Color: Customize text, hover, border, and background colors.
   4. Label: Title displayed for the filter.
   5. Rename “All” Text: Customize the default “All” option text.
   6. Hide Empty Option(s): Hide filter values with no events.
   7. Show Event Count: Display how many events match each option.
   8. Alignment: Align the filter left, center, or right.

1. Relation: Set how multiple filters work together: AND / OR.
2. Filter Option Column(s): Define how many columns of filter options to show on different devices (desktop, tablet, mobile).
3. Margin Between Filter Columns: Adjust spacing between filter items (default: 20px).
4. Advanced Filter Reset Button: Toggle ON to display a reset button.
5. Filter Wrapper Margin Bottom: Set spacing below the filter area (default: 30px).
6. Show/Hide Filter Button: Toggle whether to display a button to collapse/expand filters.

💡 Tip: Use Ajax Live Filters when you want visitors to quickly refine events without refreshing the page. For example, let them filter workshops by category or view only events from a specific organizer.
