How to Make Feed for Specific Product Types (Simple, Variable, Grouped, and More)?

CTX Feed Pro lets you precisely control which product types appear in your WooCommerce product feed. Using the Advanced Filter, you can include or exclude specific product types — such as Simple, Variable, or Grouped products — with just a few settings.

This guide walks you through three practical use cases:

• Removing Variable products from your feed
• Removing Grouped products from your feed
• Creating a feed that contains only Simple products

Part 1 — Accessing the Advanced Filter

The Advanced Filter is located inside the feed editing screen. Follow these steps to find it:

1. CTX FeedLog in to your WordPress dashboard and go to 
2. Open an existing feed or create a new one.
3. Feed ConfigInside the feed editor, scroll down to the 
4. Advanced FilterDirectly next to the Feed Config section, you will find the 
5. Click on the Advanced Filter section to expand it and start adding your filtering conditions.

💡  The Advanced Filter panel sits right alongside Feed Config — look for it on the same level, just to the right or below it.

Part 2 — Understanding Filter Logic

Before adding filter conditions, it is important to understand how CTX Feed evaluates multiple conditions. There are two modes:

Part 3 — Filter Examples by Use Case

Use Case A: Remove Variable Products from the Feed

Variable products are parent products with multiple variants (e.g., a T-shirt with different sizes and colors). If you want your feed to exclude these parent products and show only their individual variations, use the following filter:

How to set this up:

1. In the Advanced Filter section, click Add New Condition.
2. Set Attribute to “Product Type”.
3. Set Condition to “not equal”.
4. Type “variable” in the Value field.
5. Set the filter mode to Individual.
6. Click Update to save, then regenerate the feed.

✅  Result: All parent variable products are removed. Variation products (the individual size/color options) remain in the feed.

Use Case B: Remove Grouped Products from the Feed

Grouped products are collections of related simple products sold together. If your feed channel does not support grouped products or you want to exclude them, use this filter:

How to set this up:

1. In the Advanced Filter section, click Add New Condition.
2. Set Attribute to “Product Type”.
3. Set Condition to “not equal”.
4. Type “grouped” in the Value field.
5. Set the filter mode to Individual.
6. Click Update to save, then regenerate the feed.

✅  Result: All grouped products are removed from the feed. Simple products that are part of a group will still appear individually.

Use Case C: Create a Feed with Only Simple Products

Simple products are standalone products with no variations. If you want a feed that contains nothing but simple products — useful for channels that only support standard single-item listings — use this filter:

How to set this up:

1. In the Advanced Filter section, click Add New Condition.
2. Set Attribute to “Product Type”.
3. Set Condition to “equal”.
4. Type “simple” in the Value field.
5. Set the filter mode to Individual.
6. Click Update to save, then regenerate the feed.

✅  Result: Only simple products appear in the feed. Variables, grouped products, and all other types are excluded automatically.
