# 4. Show/Hide Filter and Reset Buttons

Hide the filters behind a button next to the search box, and give visitors a Reset button.

## Show/Hide Filter button

The button needs both a search box and filters, because it sits next to the search box and opens the filters.

1. In **Content > Filter Events**, turn on **Keyword Search** and **Show Search in Live Filters**. See [Live Keyword Search](https://elementor.wpeventful.com/docs/live-keyword-search/).
2. Turn on **Enable Advanced Filtering** and add at least one filter. See [Add AJAX Live Filters](https://elementor.wpeventful.com/docs/ajax-live-filters/).
3. Turn on **Show/Hide Filter Button**. The filters are now hidden until a visitor clicks the button.

   Show/Hide Filter Button and Reset Button settings, with the button next to the search box.
4. Change **Show Button Text** and **Hide Button Text** (default "Show Filter" and "Hide Filter"), for example "Show categories" and "Hide categories".

## Reset button

- **Show Reset Button** is on by default. The button appears once a visitor has typed a word or picked a filter option.
- Clicking it clears the search box and every selected filter, and shows all events again.
- Change the label in **Reset Button Text** (default "Reset").

Colours for the Show/Hide Filter button are in **Style > Filter Bar**.
