FAQ

FAQ

Real questions, real answers.

Is HOF free?

The core will be open source. A "pro" tier with extras is likely but not finalized. We won't paywall the basics.

Does it work with my theme?

If your theme uses standard WordPress / WooCommerce templates, yes. HOF doesn't fight themes. CSS variables let you re-style without ripping anything out.

Does it work with my page builder?

Planned: Gutenberg, Bricks, Elementor, Oxygen. See Roadmap.

How fast is it?

Faster than the alternatives, ideally. We'll publish real benchmarks once we have a beta worth benchmarking. Goal: filter response under 100ms on a 10,000-product Woo store.

Will it break my site?

Activate it on staging first. (This is true of every plugin.) HOF is designed to be additive — it doesn't replace WP queries until you tell it to.

What about SEO?

URL state means crawlers see real URLs. We're shipping with sensible defaults (canonical hints, robots controls, structured data preservation). More in the docs as we land 1.0.

How does pricing work?

TBD. Probably open core + paid pro. Definitely fair. Definitely not "$249/year to unlock checkboxes."

Can I self-host the docs?

Yes. The /docs directory in the main repo mirrors this wiki. Build with any static site generator.

Why "hooked on facets"?

Because filters in WordPress are powered by hooks. Because the brand voice is "fun." Because the URL was available. Because we are not naming our plugin Facetastic.

Can I sponsor the project?

Coming. GitHub Sponsors page is in the works.

How do I report a bug?

Open an issue. Include WP version, PHP version, plugin version, and a repro case. Bonus points for a screenshot.
