    I’m trying to determine if WordPress can do the following or if this is something for a plugin or jquery module like such as Isotope.

    I would like a page on which all the post titles are listed (there will only be about 15) alongside a list of categories or tags that acts as a filter. Click on a category and only those posts titles in that category will remain in the list. click on those post titles to go to the single post page. I basically want to achieve something similar to the filter setup on this page:

    My hunch is to try it with Isotope or similar, but maybe it can be achieved by modifying the archive template

    If you don’t mind the page reloading then this is pretty easy if you have an understanding of WP_query and a bit of php?

    Just:

    $args = array('posts_per_page' => -1, 'post_type' => 'page');

		if($taxquery != ''){
			$args['tax_query'] = $taxquery;
		}

		$my_query = new WP_Query($args);

        while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
        the_title();
        endwhile;

    Will list out all ya posts

    Add something like this at the top above that:

    if($_GET['catfilt'] != ''){
		$taxquery = array('tax_query' => array(array('taxonomy' => 'whatevertaxonomy','field' => 'slug','terms' => $_GET['catfilt'])));
		//print_r($_POST);

	}else{
		$taxquery = '';
	}

    Then you just have another bit of code list out the terms:

    $terms = get_terms( 'whatevertaxonomy' );
 if ( ! empty( $terms ) && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ){
     echo '<ul>';
     foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
       echo '<li>' . $term->name . '</li>';

     }
     echo '</ul>';
 }

    In the

    <li> bit just link to the same page

    echo '</li>
<li><a>ID . '>' . $term->name . '</a></li>
';

    Thats the idea anyway sorry its a bit of a rushed example 😀
