To create a filter in Webflow that allows users to select multiple options at once, you can follow these steps:

  1. Organize your items: Make sure the items you want to filter are organized in a specific way. For example, if you have a collection of blog posts, you could add categories to each post to filter them later.

  2. Create the filter buttons: Create buttons or checkboxes for each option you want to filter by. For example, if you have categories for your blog posts, create buttons for each category.

  3. Add interactions: Select the button or checkbox and add an interaction to it. In the interaction settings, choose the trigger that will activate the filter (e.g., a click on the button).

  4. Choose filter criteria: In the interaction settings, choose which items should be shown based on the button or checkbox being clicked. For example, if the "Sports" button is clicked, only show blog posts with the "Sports" category.

  5. Repeat for each filter option: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each button or checkbox you want to include in the filter.

  6. Publish and test: Preview your site to see if the filter is working as expected. Make sure that selecting multiple options updates the displayed items accordingly.

By following these steps, you can create a filter in Webflow that allows users to select multiple options at once. This provides a flexible and user-friendly way for visitors to narrow down their search and find the content or products they are looking for.
