About WP-Filters
From the official readme · v1.0Description
This plugin will output a list of your chosen categories and filter the posts on the fly using jQuery animation.
The setting pages allows you to select which categories should appear, whether or not to include jQuery (if you don’t already have it in the ) and a place to define the posts container. This should be either the class or id of the div that contains all the posts for filtering.
I am open to suggestions to improve the plugin !
