Hi,

the plug-in looks great, and mostly does fantastic job. But there are a few issues on the website we are using it:

1. Translation doesn’t have any effect. (followed the instructions from “how to translate.txt”).

2. Filter for attribute doesn’t show for non default languages if the “Select Style” is set to “Color” instead of attribute names. Custom attribute for color is translated with WPML.

Please help us resolve these issues.

Hi,

That’s just a missing ‘Loaded’ text string. The preset loads fine regardless of this.

Kind regards,

Hello,

I have removed the plugin so we can start from the beginning. Please help me setup the correct path for the filter so WPML can locate it and then we can translate it…

“You most probably didn’t set the correct path for the filter so WPML couldn’t locate it. You can send me your WP log in details using the contact form at the bottom of this page codecanyon.net/user/dzeriho and I’ll help you out with this.”

Is there anything different I should do when installing the plug-in or just go to WP backend and install it manually from there?

Kind regards.

I have set up the plugin! :) When I choose an item from multiple categories, products display but I am also getting an error message:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /nfs/c08/h01/mnt/116264/domains/savonsupplements.com/html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/wc-template-functions.php on line 137

I know you don’t have eyes on my website, but I thought you just might have a suggestion??? Maybe I used the settings incorrectly and this error comes up?? I know it’s shot in the dark, but have you seen this error with anyone else?

I’m working on a test website so I’m open to opinions, thoughts…anything!

Thanks!! Monica

Hi,

What do you mean by “choose an item from multiple categories”? Is it possible you can send me a link to where this is occurring? You can send it to me using the contact form at the bottom of this page codecanyon.net/user/dzeriho. Thanks.

Hello, the plugin is great, I created two filters for differents sections of products, but everytime i save the range price slider, it doesn’t appear as i do it and the filter is saved as default which its not the custom preset, specially the Range Slider customizing. http://hsi.com.co/accesorios/ http://hsi.com.co/celulares/

Hi,

Sorry, I don’t quite understand the issue. I see the Range Filter appears on your website. Can you explain the issue a bit better please? As for the Range Filter Custom Settings, perhaps you are not entering the right code. Could you share what you are writing in the Custom Settings? Also, what is not saving in the filter presets?

Kind regards,

Hi, first of all, thanks for this exciting plogin! Cannot wait to start working with it, however I have a problem with getting it working with Flatsome the from Themeforest. This is a top selling Woocommerce theme.

Problem is that in the filter menu, the checkboxes and attribute text is not clickable. Only can select an attribute by clicking next to the name. Please see image below for explanation.

http://vloerperfect.nl/problem.jpg Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks in advance Bas

Sorry, this is not on PC, only on phone / tablet (tested on iPhone and iPad)

Another question I have, when I click browser back button, chosen filters disapeared. Is there a way to keep selected filters on going back from product page? Thanks in advance, Bas

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this. There are known issue for some users when using the plugin on mobile devices. This is being worked on and improvements will be made with each update. Please be a bit patient and this will be fixed.

As for the filter being reset when going back to the results page, this occurs when AJAX load is enabled in some browsers. This feature will also be improved in the next releases. Thank you for your understanding.

Hello.

I want to make multi condition filter for products.

Please let me know how to set your plugin to filter with “and” condition – “busan&other cities”, “culture”, and “10hrs”

checkbox or radio boxes should be checked(selected) for each selected box.

Please see my filter for your understand on following link.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7n8dquaj8sx8jy6/AAB1phhJTn706fRpAVezzEhaa?dl=0

Hi,

You can change the Multi Select Relation for each of your filters, but this only affect the terms within the single filter. You can set the relations for different filters currently.

As for the check boxes, are they not being selected when you click them? I don’t quite understand the question and the attached screenshot. Is it possible you can send me a link to my email using the contact form at the bottom of this page codecanyon.net/user/dzeriho? Thanks.

I’m having an issue where the product filter is showing behind the products. You can see it here: https://www.garmontnorthamerica.com/product-category/mens/mountain/ I have tried changing the z-index using #prdctfltr_woocommerce {z-index:10;} but it doesn’t seem to be working (I also tried adjusting the value). Any help would be great appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

Please try changing the Product Filter’s style layout to default or a different in order to see if the issue goes away. If not, send me your WP log in details using the contact form at the bottom of this page codecanyon.net/user/dzeriho so I can check out the issue.

Hi there,

Is it possible to make the select box filter ‘sticky’ so when a user scrolls the filter stays on top but small in size just like a sticky menu. Something like how Polyvore uses their filters http://www.polyvore.com/clothing/shop?category_id=2

It would be great, If I can make some quick code change in the backend to achieve that?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

This is not supported currently. If you’re skilled enough with code you could probably make it work similar to that, but this is not covered by support, so I can’t provide any assistance with that. Thanks for understanding.

Kind regards,
mihajlovicnenad.com

First of all, my compliments for the great plugin!

Can I set a breadcrumb so that people cann see what selection they have chosen to filter?

http://nlverb-wiyondong.savviihq.com/ >> See number 16 in the filter. If this pops the choices disappear.

Please help us!

Have a nice day

Hi, Thanks for the nice words.

Check to make sure the ‘Disable Top Bar’ and ‘Disable Show Results Title’ options are NOT checked in the preset you’re using.

As for the issue with the drop down menu being behind the products, I can give you the CSS code to fix this as it’s a z-index issue if you contact me using the form at the bottom of this page codecanyon.net/user/dzeriho. Is this what you meant by ‘If this pops the choices disappear’. I don’t quite understand what you meant by that.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the support! – I have send you an e-mail

Cannot get the filter to show up on the Total theme at all.

http://themeforest.net/item/total-responsive-multipurpose-wordpress- theme/6339019

I have even tried to insert the product filter action manually in archive-product.php

(the widget version is not working either. I have an older version of you plugin running on an old backup without problem).

What should I do?

Hi,

Have you tried setting the ‘Product Filter Shop/Product Archives Installation’ to ‘Custom Action and inserting the custom actions from your archive-product.php file into the ‘Product Filter Init Action’? If not, revert any changes you made to that file and try this method. These options are located on the plugin’s Advanced Options page.

If you’re unsure how to do this you can send me your website log in info using the contact form at the bottom of this page codecanyon.net/user/dzeriho and I’ll investigate the problem.

Kind regards,

I can’t find the option to make my attributes appear as a simple drop down menu.

Please help, where I will find this setting?

Hello before i buy this – is it possible to make sub filters – when i click it should automatic display the filers. So i don’t have to click “filter” everytime, but can select multible choices.

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in the WooCommerce Product Filter plugin.

Can you explain a bit better what you mean by “sub-filters”?

You can enable Instant Filtering which will initiate the filter automatically as soon as you select a filtering term. You can also enable Multi Select for this type of filtering.

Kind regards,
mihajlovicnenad.com

Sounds great. Hmm If i select “dogs” as a filter, but under that shoudl be some dog food, dog something, dog something – this will also work with instant filtering ? :)

Hi,

Yes, category hierarchy is also supported by the WooCommerce Product Filter and it will work with instant filtering as well.

Kind regards,

I have installed the plugin (which I love!) and activated it. The video is also very helpful and I have saved settings with ‘saved as default preset’ button, but I see no changes in the filtering after I have changed the options. It seems that the changes are not being recognized because the filter appears the same on my shop page. For instance, I have saved filter style to one row and there are several rows showing up. Or I changed max height to 100px and it’s the same as max height= 180px.

Maybe I’m missing something simple???? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks, Monica

Hi,

If you’re using a caching plugin make sure you clear the cache after you’ve made changes to the preset you’re using. If this is not the case, contact me with your WP log in details using the form at the bottom of this page codecanyon.net/user/dzeriho and I’ll check out the problem.

Kind regards,
mihajlovicnenad.com

Wow!! Fast response! Your suggestion worked! Thank you very much!

Monica

Hi,

Glad that it’s sorted now.

I have the same problem with this user :

I still have the issue with this on the mobile version with the filter. I send you the login and pasword for the site, could you check this please?

Product Filter was already activated on this page using a template override. Uncheck the Enable/Disable Product Filter Template Overrides in the product filter advanced options tab to use the widget version instead of the order by filter template override.

with kind regards

Matthias

your response is: Hi, I was able to determine that this issue goes away when you set the Sidebar Style to OffCanvas on your Theme Options > Shop page. It seems the widget in the sidebar gets re-initiated when changing from On Page to OffCanvas on mobile devices. However, I still need a bit more time to make it work without having to use the Off-Canvas sidebar on your Shop page. I will get back to you as soon as I have some news regarding this.

Kind regards,

how can i fix it? please, some problem for 2 website with 2 different templates.

Hi,

Please send me the links of the two websites where you’re experiencing this issue. If you don’t want to share them here publicly, you can send me an email using the contact form at the bottom of this page codecanyon.net/user/dzeriho

Hi,

just bought your plugin. I have 3 issues that really need to be solved.

1. Override No Products Action doesn’t work for me. My filter is in the widget and when no result match I have a blank page and my right sidebar goes to the left. I saw a few comments that you answered: the theme doesn’t support it!

Since there seems to be so many people with the same problem. I hope you can suggest an alternative for it… I could create a page with that text… what would I write in the Override No Products Action box in order for that page to show? Or if you have another way to do it…

2. At the moment for all my attributes, the plugin only shows the item that have content (count) but my customer would want to see all of the options and that the ones not available are unclickable.

3. If I select a T-shirt available in blue, and that it is now only available in Small. I don’t want the other sizes to display. So depending on the first selection I make the available filters should change, it doesn’t happend for me. For example in my website: http://www.nabi-tek.com/en/shop/ if I select construction Price 201 000$ to 250 000$ then in Collection Name “the Family” should not be available because I don’t have any product in The family with that price range.

How can I solve these 3 issues, this is really urgent. Thanks.

Hi,

1. Yes, some themes don’t support this feature. When you clear the ‘No Product Override’ field, does the same happen? is it still a blank page with the sidebar on the left when no products are found?

2. The plugin works in such a way that it only displays terms that are assigned to published products. What your customer needs isn’t available in the plugin I’m afraid.

3. Have you turned on Adoptive Filtering on the plugin settings page, as wall as for each filter where you want this functionality in the Filter Manager.

Kind regards,
mihajlovicnenad.com

1. yes it does the same thing, what is the alternative? AS mentionned: Since there seems to be so many people with the same problem. I hope you can suggest an alternative for it… I could create a page with that text… what would I write in the Override No Products Action box in order for that page to show? Or if you have another way to do it…

2. migth be interesting in a next update to offer that possibility

3. Yes the adoptive Filtering in on in the general option, but it wasn’t in each attributes, it works.

So I really need the no product to be displayed. i cannot change my theme so there needs to be an alternative.. please help fast.

Hi,

In that case, the only thing I can suggest is you contact the theme author regarding the No Products Found template and ask them how to customize that template to show the message you want.

As for the unclickable ‘empty’ attributes displaying in the filter, this feature is not considered for implementation at the moment.

Glad that the adoptive filtering is working now.

I was originally using the filter plugin to sort Color, Price, Fabric, etc, with Categories, but switched to using Attributes this morning. Set everything back up. Now when I select a filter, the results page says “Showing All 2 Results” but actually shows ALL of the items in the whole shop. Chosen Attribute should only be on two objects, not all.

Anyone else having this problem?

Hi,

Did you maybe also enable the AJAX load for your product Archive pages? This could be causing this issue. In any case, I’d need to see your website in order to provide further assistance. If you don’t want to share the link here publicly, you can send it to me using the contact form at the bottom of this page codecanyon.net/user/dzeriho

Hello,

a presale question please: is it possible to add own graphics to filters?

thank you

tom

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in the WooCommerce Product Filter plugin.

What exactly do you mean by adding your own graphics? You can change the style of the filter using the Style Customizer for each of your filters. It gives you the option to display the filter terms as images.

Kind regards,
mihajlovicnenad.com

Ok, and is it possible to order the filters?

Hi,

You can order the filters on the plugin setting page by dragging and dropping the filter boxes into place. You can also order the terms inside each filter using the ‘Order By’ option in the filter boxes.

Kind regards,
mihajlovicnenad.com

Hi, I have installed the plugin and am using it as a widget in a sidebar. But when I narrow my browser window or view on a mobile device so that the layout moves to mobile responsive and stacks the content I get the following error message:

Product Filter was already activated on this page using a template override. Uncheck the Enable/Disable Product Filter Template Overrides in the product filter advanced options tab to use the widget version instead of the order by filter template override.

I have tried enabling/disabling settings etc but nothing seems to work. please advise.

PS – I would show you the website but don’t really want to post info like this on a public forum. Happy to communicate be email if possible. Thanks

Hi,

This is probably caused by your theme switching to a different sidebar when going into mobile mode and making the widget display an error. Can you disable this in your Theme Options? You can also send me the link to your website using the contact form at the bottom of this page codecanyon.net/user/dzeriho

Kind regards,

Hi,

The issue has been fixed. Please try not to break it again. Thanks.

I try to override my category filter with Product type but it won’t work is there a glitch? I left it for 24hrs but still hasn’t worked. Any Help?

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have tried to override the Catagories filter Title to Product Type but it is not allowing me to do so. It does not update. I tried waiting 24hours for this to happen but it still did not come into effect. www.hairprohairco.com.au

Characteristics Filter title not Catagories

Hi,

OK, you just didn’t mention that it was the title override you were referring to.

This is a known issue and a fix for it will be included in the next update. Please be a bit patient and this will get solved. Thank you for your understanding.

Kind regards,
