FILTER Categories showing all projects

[beucccia]

Hallo Dear Laytheme Community

I found the Category Function through which is possible to show WORKS or PROJECTS x Category (example: Photography, Interior, Design, etc.) through the thumbnail gridder. I am looking for a function where I can see the projects all at once, with the possibility to filter them in a second moment. Is it possible?

To refine a thumbnail grid / results, I see two ways

1. Using dedicated sites with thumbnail grids
   You could use menus / sub-menus pointing to thumbnail grids with specific categories filtered, e.g.

WORK

Sub-Menu: PHOTOGRAPHY
Link to Site showing Thumbnail Grid with filter PHOTOGRAPHY

Sub-Menu: DESIGN
Link to Site showing Thumbnail Grid with filter DESIGN

--> This way requires users to switch between "sub-categories" in the menu
--> It also means, you have to set up multiple thumbnail grids

2. Using tags
   As far as I know, the original use of categories is to link only 1 category to a project (I read that this is also better for SEO). Tags can be used multiple-times on 1 project/site, etc.
   In the thumbnail grid the default of tag filters is "OR". E.g. you have a project that can be assigned to a photography, but also shows interior, you can assign the tags photography and interior.

--> This ways allows to have basic categories and tag bubbles right on one site, users can filter at one place
--> You need to make sure your projects fit into this meta-structure

nice

well you could create a new category called "All" or sth like that
then add that category to all of your projects. then in your thumbnailgrid element show the category filter and it has the category "All"
