Make Category spotlight Ajax>refresh on shop page
- Done

Many of your xstore demos have started to add the "spotlight elementor widget"- on the shop pages.
Is it a good idea to make these category buttons have ajax function on click. I see that Woodmart has this as a key feature. As it is great for UIX.

Hi Jack,
We're pleased to have the spotlight-shop feature activated! I spoke with Luca Rossi, who suggested I forward my comments to you. Here's the forum chat for reference:
www.8theme.com/topic/spotlight-xstore-widget-showing-the-wrong-number/#post-414042
We have two questions:
1. When clicking different categories, products from previous clicks stack instead of displaying just the selected category's products. This isn’t ideal, as customers expect to see only the selected category.
2. Is it possible to update the archive title and description for each category? Currently, the spotlight shows the "all products" archive info, but we'd prefer it to match the selected category, similar to how the sidebar filters work.
For troubleshooting and testing to further understand you can have a look to A/B test the filters vs the spotlight widget here(shop page):
elmate.no/alle-produkter/
These updates would add great value to your clients, including myself. Looking forward to hearing from you!

This is great!
How do we activate this feature?

This feature will be activated by default if Ajax filters option is active in your Theme Options.

Hello @Nicolo,
We're excited to announce that our latest update brings a host of powerful features to elevate your website-building experience. Among these is the integration of several new Elementor-based page builders, including My Account, Posts Archive, Single Post, Search Results, and Portfolio pages. These additions ensure a more seamless and customizable layout experience.
Regarding the Spotlight Elementor widget, we've enhanced it with Ajax functionality in the latest XStore 9.4.0 and XStore Core plugin v5.4.0 updates. This means that users can now enjoy a smoother and more dynamic experience when navigating through categories, without the need for full-page reloads—much like the feature you mentioned in Woodmart. This enhancement significantly improves UI/UX by making interactions more fluid and responsive.
We’ve also introduced other noteworthy features like the Built-in Waitlist, Search Analytics, Template Overrides Parser, and Linked Variations Products and others. Each of these is designed to give you greater control and flexibility over your site's design and functionality.
For a full rundown of what's new, feel free to check out our detailed changelog at xstore.8theme.com/update-history/.
We hope these new features meet your needs, and we’re eager to hear your thoughts!
Best regards,
Jack Richardson

Hello @Nicolo
Your request is very interesting for my opinion. It could greatly help customers to make the filtering of products without refreshing the page but keeping the all active filters. Let's mark this request as 'under review' yet and see the voices of other customers for this request. You have +1 voice from me :)
Kind regards, Jack Richardson
