Practice recipe based on public documentation; the Breakdance extension is not installed here.

What it does and when to use it

Displays a facet provided by WP Grid Builder. Use it for the specific job described below. If a simpler native element can deliver the same outcome, prefer the simpler structure and fewer competing styles.

Before you start

This is a Breakdance catalogue recipe for use with a compatible Breakdance Elements for Oxygen extension. It is not a guarantee of availability in your version. Check the installed element list and official reference before following the steps. Exact control labels can differ; this recipe has not been executed on this site. The named filtering plugin and a supported connected results listing are required.

Worked example: A catalogue filter connected to WP Grid Builder

Scenario: A catalogue filter connected to WP Grid Builder. The goal is a useful result on a real project, not a claim that this scenario was a completed client project.

  1. Install and configure WP Grid Builder with the intended results grid.
  2. Choose a facet useful for the actual catalogue, such as a category selector.
  3. Test a selection, reset and no-results state using the supported integration.

Expected result

You should have a catalogue filter connected to WP Grid Builder. Verify the result on the frontend using the same content or object described in the steps. A correct builder preview alone does not establish that links, data or interactions work for visitors.

Troubleshooting

If the controls do not change results, inspect the grid association and indexing/setup. This element depends on the named provider plugin.

Checks before publishing

Use real text and assets rather than a perfect placeholder. Check a long label, narrow screen and empty-data state before publishing.

  • Compare desktop and narrow-screen layouts using actual content.
  • Follow every destination and operate interactive controls with a keyboard where applicable.
  • Check an empty or unavailable-data state when the element depends on a provider.

Official reference and version notes

Official GridbuilderWP Facet reference provides the current provider information. This is independent, AI-assisted documentation on Benjamin Olsen’s website; examples are clearly identified as practice recipes.

Check extension element visibility in Oxygen. An element may be hidden where a native equivalent exists.
