Can't make list filters work — help

Hi everyone, im new here so i’m sorry for the noob question.

I’m building a website in Webflow and I’m trying to use Finsweet’s CMS List Filter (Attributes v2) to add filtering functionality to a CMS collection. However, I’m running into an issue where the filter buttons are not working — they don’t trigger the expected filtering behavior.

Thanks in advance

Hey @prvisualdesign!

We noticed your CMS List Filter buttons aren’t triggering the expected filtering behavior. This is a common issue that can happen due to several factors in your setup.

To get your filters working properly, here’s a quick checklist:

1. Script Implementation
Make sure you have the Attributes v2 script in your page’s `` section:

<!-- Finsweet Attributes -->
<script async type="module"
src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@finsweet/attributes@2/attributes.js"
fs-list
></script>

2. Required Attributes Setup
Your filtered list needs these core attributes:

On your Collection List:

fs-list-element = "list"

On your Form/Filter Container:

fs-list-element = "filters"

On each Filter Button/Input:

fs-list-field = "YOUR_CMS_FIELD_NAME"
fs-list-value = "FILTER_VALUE"

On the CMS field you want to filter by (inside each Collection Item):

fs-list-field = "YOUR_CMS_FIELD_NAME"

3. Common Issues to Check:

  • Make sure your CMS field names match exactly between your filter buttons and the fields in your Collection List items
  • Verify that your filter values match the actual values in your CMS
  • Ensure your Collection List has the fs-list-element="list" attribute

Since we can’t see your actual page structure from the preview link, could you please:

  1. Share your Webflow staging URL (the live preview link)
  2. Or record a quick Loom video showing your current setup and the issue

This will help us pinpoint exactly what’s causing the buttons not to work!
