Make horizontal filter area expanded by default
-
Hi,
How can I make horizontal filter area expanded by default?
I mean this:

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
You can expand filters area by default by adding this code snippet to the Custom CSS area in Theme Settings
.filters-area {
display: block!important;
}
Regards
In this situation we also suggest you to hide “Filters” button with this snippet
.basel-filter-buttons {
display: none!important;
}
Regards
Thank you.
How can I have drop down list-box for sorting in this filter area or above it?
Try to add this snippet to the functions.php file in your child theme
add_filter( 'basel_use_custom_order_widget', '__return_false', 10 );
Regards
There is another problem with my horizontal filter area and that is unwanted price filter in it despite of empty widget. here is my widget area screenshot:

Please check my site URL in private content.
You remove it by adding this snippet to the functions.php also
add_filter( 'basel_use_custom_price_widget', '__return_false', 10 );
