Possible to have a Filters a a button group?

Was wondering, is it possible to have the filters be a button group rather than a classic form control like select, radio buttons, checkboxes, …etc?

I’m building a portfolio grid, and our designer is adamant about the filters being buttons. Using select dropdown, radio button or checkboxes is out the questions. She wants a row of buttons at the top of the grid, one button per filter option. I’ve seen options like this in plugins like Media Grid – WordPress Responsive Portfolio by LCweb, but I have only ever had issues with that plugin, to the point where I could no longer update it without it completely breaking the grid.

I would prefer to use S&F Pro because I can customize the look and feel exactly how I need it to be, plus I trust the plugin. However, S&F doesn’t appear to have an option for buttons.

Is there any type of workaround I can do?

Thanks

You can use CSS to make the options of either a checkbox or radio button list appear to be buttons.

Thanks Trevor, I can’t believe I didn’t even consider restyling radio buttons to look like normal buttons. That worked perfectly, thanks!
