03 / Website use cases
Where to use curated resource filter
Resource pages, reading lists and link directories grow until visitors cannot find anything, and full directory plugins are more than most sites need. Curated resource filter turns a simple list of lines into links that can be searched and filtered by tag, while staying a plain list of links without JavaScript.
Reading lists
Articles grouped by topic.
Partner directories
Links to suppliers or partners by category.

07 / Requirements and compatibility
Curated resource filter compatibility with Elementor
- Requires Elementor; works without Elementor Pro and WooCommerce.
- Filters the list you type in; it does not search the rest of the site.
- Runs in the visitor’s browser; nothing is sent to the server.
Complementor uses classic Elementor APIs. Atomic-native controls are not implemented. Check your theme, cache and integrations on a staging site before release.
08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot curated resource filter
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is a line missing?
It has no title or its link does not start with http://, https:// or /.
Why are there no tag buttons?
No line has tags, or Tag buttons is off.
Why does a tag match several items?
Tags ignore case, so “Care” and “care” are the same tag.

Items with any selected tag are shown.
