All the widgets of the JetSmartFilters plugin give the users an opportunity to create filters based on different sources. You can choose those sources in the Settings tab of the JetReviews Dashboard.

Before creating a filter, you should add a Custom Post Type<\/strong> with the help of the JetEngine<\/a> plugin. If you need a hint, go through our CPT creation tutorial<\/a>.

To learn how taxonomies are created – check out this tutorial<\/a>. In this example, we created the taxonomy for book genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"adding\n\n\n\n
