HUE Blog Filter & Search PRO is a Shopify app that adds blog tag filtering, blog search, and featured article functionality to your Shopify store’s blog, turning a basic Shopify blog into a proper, browsable content hub.
The good news: our app supports ALL Shopify themes.
Some themes work out of the box, while a handful may need minor customization to get the blog filter and blog search displaying exactly right.
Here is what to expect depending on your theme.
Theme App Block Support
Newer Shopify themes built on Online Store 2.0 support theme app blocks.
If your theme supports app blocks, you can add the blog tag filter and blog search widget directly from the Shopify theme editor. No code required.
Older Themes Without App Block Support
Some older themes were built before Online Store 2.0 and do not support app blocks.
If your theme falls into this category, we can still implement the blog filter and blog search for you using custom code. Just reach out to us at [email protected] and we will get it set up.
