Hey @jillbascome!

Your List Filter setup has all the necessary attributes in place. The good news is that you’re right - the filter design doesn’t need to be inside the CMS collection list :flexed_biceps: The filtering elements can be placed outside, just as you have them.

For those placeholder text issues with count, tags, and sorting elements, here are a few things to check:

  1. Try wrapping your tag template in an extra div:

    Tag
    Operator
    Value

  2. Make sure your collection list has fs-list-element=“list” and proper pagination enabled in Webflow (even if hidden with CSS)

  3. Check that you have the v2 script with the fs-list attribute

  4. Verify your results count elements use the exact attribute names like fs-list-element=“results-count”
