Filterable Portfolio

74 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

A 45 out of 30 is unusual and reflects the score being capped or weighted on install count rather than raw downloads; with only 1,000 active installs it is a small-niche plugin, not a mainstream one.

Update Freshness

25/25

A perfect maintenance score is supported by a fresh update in April 2026 and clean compatibility flags with current WordPress and PHP requirements.

User Rating

13/15

A rating of 84 from 13 voters is solid but the small sample size means a single unhappy user can swing the average noticeably.

Support Health

8/15

With zero support threads and zero resolved, there is essentially no public track record of the author helping users through the WordPress.org support forum.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Full compatibility marks are earned by testing cleanly against WordPress 7.0 and requiring only PHP 7.0, which keeps the door open for sites on modest shared hosting.

What It Does

Filterable Portfolio is a lightweight WordPress plugin that lets site owners build a portfolio of project or image items that visitors can filter and sort on the front end. It outputs a gallery-style grid that can be categorized by taxonomy or tag, making it easy to browse work samples without a heavy page builder setup. The plugin is designed to drop in a shortcode or block and start working without complex configuration.

Who It's For

This plugin is a good fit for freelancers, small studios, and solo creatives such as photographers, designers, and architects who need a simple, filterable project gallery without paying for a premium portfolio builder. It works best on sites that already have WordPress 6.0+ and PHP 7.0+ and do not require deep design customization or WooCommerce-style product showcases. If you need a clean way to present a handful of portfolio categories, it does the job without bloat.

Who Should Skip It

If you run a large agency site, need advanced layouts, or want tight integration with Elementor, WooCommerce, or a full gallery builder, you should look elsewhere. The 1,000 active installs and zero resolved support threads mean very little community knowledge exists to help you if something breaks.

The Bottom Line

Filterable Portfolio does one thing, does it recently, and is rated well by a small group of users, which is a real positive signal for a niche plugin. The downsides are clear: very low install count, no resolved support threads on WordPress.org, and a feature set that almost certainly lags behind Visual Portfolio or Twentig. Choose it if you want something simple, lightweight, and actively maintained, but skip it if you need a battle-tested ecosystem or premium-style features.

Pick this if you want a far larger user base (60,000+ installs), regular updates, and a richer set of layouts and builder integrations.

Twentig Supercharged Block Editor 81/100

Pick this if you are building a Twenty-something theme site and want portfolio blocks, patterns, and starter sites in one package.

Portfolio Filter Gallery – Photo Gallery 81/100

Pick this if your top priority is a filterable image gallery with 20,000+ installs and a longer community history.

Video Gallery 80/100

Pick this if you need to mix YouTube and Vimeo video portfolios alongside images rather than a static-image-only grid.

PowerFolio 79/100

Pick this if you build with Elementor and want portfolio widgets that drop directly into your existing Elementor templates.
