Your online store visitor does not have time to browse all the products and find what they are looking for. This process should be as seamless as walking in a brick and mortar store and asking for an item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layered Navigation in Magento 2<\/a> allows users to narrow their search with filters for category, price, brand, or any other available attributes to find the desired product. It improves the on-site experience and speeds up the conversion process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In default Magento 2, the layered navigation appears in the left column of the category page, search result pages and sometimes on the store\u2019s home page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layered navigation includes filters for all available attribute values and their product counts, including those with zero (0) product matches as shown in below image:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That looks bulky and becomes complicated for customers to choose a preferable product if large amounts of categories and products are there. Also, it is unnecessary to display attribute values with 0 products on the frontend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, I have come up with the below solution to remove filterable attribute values with 0 products from Magento 2 layered navigation <\/strong><\/em>and omit the attribute values with a count of zero (0) product matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method to remove filterable attribute values with 0 products from Magento 2 layered navigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Login<\/strong> to the admin panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Navigate to Stores > Attributes > Product.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Select and open the attribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Click on Storefront Properties <\/strong>under Attribute Information<\/strong> section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

5. Select Filterable (with results) <\/strong>from the Use in Layered Navigation <\/strong>dropdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Click on Save Attribute<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After applying the above method, layered navigation includes only those filters for which matching products can be found as mentioned in the below image:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Any attribute value that already applies to all products shown in the list should still appear as an available filter. Attribute values with a count of zero (0) product matches are omitted from the list of available filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quite easy, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you still want to improve the navigation further, you can sort Magento 2 layered navigation attributes programmatically<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not forget to share the solution with Magento Community via social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
