Cannot see the filter on the page or see it fire up. Anything I can check ?
Hello pancho15
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
In general you have to ensure that value in the field “Where to filter?” in Filter Set matches to your page. And also you have to check if there is Filters widget on the page. These should be enough to see filters on the page.
Hey there, probably a fairly simple question but we are using this plugin to filter blog posts and it works fantastic for the blog page. We are however having issues finding the correct settings to get the filter to show on the individual posts. The goal was that they could go to the post they wanted then from the same sidebar select another post. After tinkering with the “where to filter?” options we were unable to get that function. The site is :https://joshb107.sg-host.com/sermons/ and it works fine there but the intent is once they click on a post they still have the filter sidebar showing to select/filter, is that possible?
Hello ArkadyHosting
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
In general filtering is process of narrowing of posts that you see on the page before start to filtering. So if your single post page does not contain such posts list, you have nothing to filter on the page.
You have to add posts list on a single post page to be available to filter them.
I see, it looks like we purchased this on a misunderstanding. We need each individual post to show the option from the side bar so they can search from individual posts as well.
You can achieve this with small additional code – just place hidden posts list on your singular page and make them visible only when filtering is applied. In this case you can achieve your goal. But of course this requires to be familiar with PHP coding a bit or ask a developer to help you.
I appreciate the response! We purchased this plugin for a client to avoid them having to hire a developer unfortunately. They would rather find a method they can manage themselves than needing a developer in case of future issues. It was a misconception of the flexibility of the base plugin functions. Both us and the client thought the search functions would work for all posts and pages that had the side bar with widget on by default without coding required. I apologize for the confusion.

You are a strange person, I warned you, but you still write fake review that violates the Rules. It will be removed. Read the Rules and keep them, Arkady.
Nothing was fake. The plugin did not suit the needs. We found it lacking and reviewed as such and explained why. I am sorry you feel that way but it is a warning for others as reviews should be. Have a fantastic day!
ArkadyHosting
No one from filter plugins does the thing you want to do out of the box ) And from more than 11K active users you are first who write about such “problem”.
We both know that your fake review is just revenge for declining your request for refund.
Please, read and keep the Rules before purchase items or ask about refunds.
This is extremely aggressive of you, it does seem like this is how you maintain the 5.0 though if anyone who requests a refund is unable to leave a review. I hope that others read this comment even if you get the review removed to get a better idea of why there are no variable reviews.
ArkadyHosting
You bought the plugin 9 days ago, but decided to leave “review” immediately after you got decline for your refund request. It is best evidence that this is just a revenge.
Please, look on this paragraph – https://prnt.sc/wk7FywlpV0-O of the Rules From the Rules point of view you are not right, you violate the Rules.
Again, I understand your method for removing bad reviews. It doesn’t take long to figure out that a plugin isn’t fitting the bill for a project. My mistake was not noticing there was no money back guarantee for this plugin or we wouldn’t have purchased it to begin with like other plugins and themes here. Have a fantastic day and I am going to leave this comment as is. Good luck in your future endeavors Stepasyuk.
ArkadyHosting
FYI – authors can not remove reviews. Reviews can be only removed by CodeCanyon moderator if it violates the Reviews Rules. And your violates. Please, see – https://prnt.sc/IZmKbDnkFy1s
Your mistake was to not ask me about such non-typical feature before purchasing the plugin. In general refund for the can be provided if it meets any of the Refund Policy Rules.
Thus as I told you before – please read and keep the Rules and all will be fine 
Hi Stepasyuk
Second question is to do with setting up category filters.
I’ve got a main category in use in a filter but also trying to make it run with inclusions of only a subset of categories, but it’s pulling in all the site categories.
Do we need to
a) Set up a new category set and use that instead – which is limited to a set of categories (not sure how we’d do that)
b) Set the categories in that fitler to exclude all the categories we don’t want to display in the filter?
E.g. the site sells tea and we don’t want the filter of categories in the teabag section to show teapots – just relevant categories. At the moment it shows all the teaware (teapots, etc.) in the filter category and when that’s clicked, there are no products.
Thanks again!
Dan
Hey Stepasyuk – any thoughts on the above?
Hello inigomedia
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
In your case I think most useful option would be to set “Empty filters -> Always hide” in your FIlter Set. In this case you will not see unnecessary terms on pages, where they are not useful (contain 0 products)
Hi Stepasyuk
Really impressed with the plugin and enjoying using it.
I’ve got two queries – so starting with the basic one.
We’re using the plugin with Beaver Builder and have the default FE Sort widget set up to sort a WooCommerce grid for price high to low, low to high, etc. However it’s not triggering any sort.
We also have AJAX enabled and that’s working for search.
The standard inbuild WooCommerce sort works in a vanilla category page, but not when we run the sort in the grid.
No significant issues with using the standard filter in the sidebar. I don’t see a way to target the div for the products grid.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Dan
Sorry – now it is doing it – it must have been a caching issue! Working perfectly on the front end now.
However, I did notice that we couldn’t drag and drop the filter items once we’d made them. The only way to fix them was to delete them and recreate with the preferred order.
Hi inigomedia
Usually if you can not drag and drop filters it measn you have a JavaScript conflict with your other plugins. You can open Console in Chrome (Right mouse click, Inspect Element, Console) and find red colored error messages and this will help you to understand what plugin generates conflict and how to solve it.
Thanks – much appreciated.
Hi! We’ve recently bought Pro since we wanted to use the feature “Where to filter?”, but it’s not really working how we were hoping. We want to show the filter on a separate (regular) page, but then all our attributes are hidden, since the filter seems to think all attributes are empty. If we set “Empty Terms” to “Never hide” on the other hand, empty attributes are shown, and all attributes with products are also shown as having no products. How do we go about this?
Pro is bought on another account: @shea
Ok, solved it. 
Just added this WP_Query to my template:
$args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘post_type’ => ‘product’, ); $wc_query = new WP_Query( $args);
and selected Product query under “And what to filter?”
Then, to fix the links in the filter (they should go to the shop page, not this regular page) I added this javascript:
bscCurrentPageUrl.replace( bscCurrentPageUrl, bscShopPageUrl); jQuery(’.page-template-shop-home .wpc-filter-content ul li div’).each(function( index ) { updatedUrl = jQuery(this).find(‘label a’).attr(‘href’).replace( bscCurrentPageUrl, bscShopPageUrl); jQuery(this).find(‘label a’).attr(‘href’, updatedUrl); jQuery(this).find(‘input’).attr(‘data-wpc-link’, updatedUrl); jQuery(this).find(‘input’).prop(‘checked’, false); });
where bscCurrentPageUrl is the current page url, and bscShopPageUrl is the WooCommerce shop page url. A little hacky, but it works. I anyone has a better solution for the javascript part, please let me know.
Hope this helps someone. 
Hi followmedarling
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO and I’m glad that your problem is already solved.
FYI – support is available for accounts with labels “PURCHASED”, “SUPPORTED”. Please, write your further questions for the account, where you purchased the plugin.
Looks like a super plugin! Congratulations on building this.
Is it also possible to not use the SEO folder structures and instead keep the wordpress parameter handling?
Hi there, can you please confirm the last update generates the SEO titles and descriptions? For me it doesn’t work. Thanks
HI smartwebeu
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
Yes, I confirm it supports SEO data for filtering result pages. It may be not so obvious how to configure SEO Rule, but I recommend you to read these two articles to understand how it works: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/seo-rules/ https://filtereverything.pro/resources/seo-rules-troubleshooting/We have set it as per document. Can we share the URL for you to check? in a PM?
Yes, sure. Please, send me credentials to your /wp-admin in accordance with this document I will check it myself.
done. thanks
smartwebeu
Thank you for your credentials.
I checked the rule and realized that you disabled indexing of your site at all in WordPress Settings -> Reading. To make SEO Rules work site indexing should be enabled – https://prnt.sc/3H-TYVkMU0JL
Hi there
WordPress keeps telling that Filter Everything has to be updated despite the fact that it’s the last v1.6.8 that is installed…
Any idea on how to solve this?
HI blaisejadoul
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO and thank you for your bug report.
This is minor bug which will be solved in the next plugin update. It does not require any action, you can just wait up to 24 hours and this message will disappear by itself.
hello.I have made an elementor shop page and added filter .But i cant style it (typography,color etc)i also set it with shortcode but i cant figure out how to change all these?
Hello katarasg
In general you can adjust Filters widget styles in common way as for any other widget. Just open Chrome HTML Inspector (Right mouse click and Inspect element), select desired widget HTML tag and check what CSS styles should be changed to change Filters widget look.
Additionally you can play with next options:
- Filters -> Settings -> Widget Primary Color
- Filters -> Settings -> Experimental -> Appearance
These also can change Filters widget design.
Hi. No news on my issue reported earlier?
Hi olegyemchuk
I checked this and realized that your langage switcher works not correctly with different languages of filtered results.
Example: English page with Brand Lelo – /vibrators/brand-lelo/ its translation from the language switcher menu is – /it/vibrators/brand-lelo/
But in accordance with italian version of this page it should be – /it/vibratori/marchio-lelo/ and if you open this page you will see that it works (filters) properly.
So it seems you have to look on your language switcher to force it to generate correct lang urls for filtering result pages.
That’s the issue I was trying to explain all this time=) I’m also reaching to the support of the other plugin. But the reason I’m contacting you first is that the default woocommerce filters don’t cause this issue. Neither do other filtering plugins, PWF, Premmerce, woof, etc. But all other plugins lack in everything else, compared to your plugin. So I thought that it’s an unconditional behavior on your plugin with multisite. I hoped there it’s a way to fix this without resorting to custom development (because it would be a headache to update the plugins later on).
It’s a good argument that other filter plugins works with translated pages in another way, but in general it is not enough argument – Filter Everything has own way how to build URLs of filtering result pages. And this way allows to build permalinks.
But okay – if you check FE for example with WPML, you will see that every filtering result page has its own translated version of URL without applied filters I mean for example if EN page is /category/woman/brand-gucci/ but Italian page will be /it//category/woman/ – without filters part. It’s not so complex to make the same behavior for your language switcher. And if it would be coded in accordance with WordPress standards it should do it automatically (as other language plugins do)
Got it. Thank you. Will try)
I have some trouble with our site. When applying a filter nothing happens. See: https://shop.maulbiler.com/
Hi Maulbileras
Please, open your filtered page by direct link – https://shop.maulbiler.com/shop/c-additiver/
It seems filtering works, but you have configured your AJAX wrong. Please, read this article about how to configure AJAX – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/plugin-settings/#ajax
Hi, I have a question before to buy the plugin
I would like to show the filtered items only after choosing the filter. Not to start with elements and after choose the filter and show the items. Is it possible with your plugin? If yes, it needs a specific code or I can find and set it in “settings”? Thank you very much for your answer
Hi genfis72
As option you can use it in Apply button mode with redirect to the pate with results. In this case Filters will be on one page, results on another pages. This can be achieved without coding.
But if you want to place filters and filtered items (products/posts) on the same page you can hide your posts untile they will be filtered with small portion of code. Even more it can be achieved via small CSS adjustments.
Hi Stepasyuk, thank you for your answer. The last question: is it possible to start with showing only a specific category and then show the results of the filtered articles?
genfis72
Yes, you can show filters on specific category page and after selection to be redirected to another page with articles. FE allows to do this without coding.
I have been trying to configure Filter Everything Pro for use on our woocommerce site. The plugin works on product categories page beautifully, however it does not work on our Custom Shop Page and Custom Search page. We are using Avada. I have attempted to play with What and Where to Filter? Yet no change. I am using the Filter set by inserting into sidebar widget. The shop page Is using the Post Cards elements and a custom post card that is also used on our product cat pages. (Filter works great on those pages).
The filter shows up correctly on shop and Search pages but when choosing the filters on those pages, the only thing that happens is the products displayed are slightly re-arranged. I can see that the URL is indeed returning the filtering that I applied.
Any assistance would be great.
Update, Shop page filter now works.
Search page still does not work, but the filter I created for it does show up. The problem is that once a filter is applied for whatever I search, the search results now changes to the search term: “a”, instead of what I originally searched. Also when this happens a different section of product results appear below with the currect filtered results for the incorrect search term of “a”.
Hello vthing181
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
Indeed, for your Search results page you have to create separate individual Filter Set and in the “Where to filter?” field select “Search results page for selected Post Type”. It seems you did it if you see your Filters on this page.
Now you have to select correct appropriate WP_Query in the field “And what to filter?” or play with them until filter will work properly. When you will check the result please try to search by any word and check filtering with disabled AJAX. You can enable it later, when you will be sure, that filtering works in general.
Is this plugin translated into German? If not, will I be able to to translate it with Loco Translate? Thank you very much.
Hi kimoribj
Thank you for your interest in Filter Everything PRO.
For the moment it is not translated to German yet, but it contains *.pot file and you can always translate it with Loco translate or other software. You can also share your translations file and I will add it to official WordPress translations repository and plugin will be translated to German for all people in the whole world.
Hello. I have a small problem that I don‘t seem to be able to fix. Is it possible for your give me a solution?
The problem is explained in this video: https://www.loom.com/share/28d9aea2e7ad4ec7b60a5ce65a03016b
Hi danielcroitor
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
It seems you have to set correct page in the field “Where to filter?” and Shop page can be selected in two ways:
1) Common WordPress pages -> Shop page
2) Pages -> Your Shop page name
Try please to check both these ways and to detect what works for you.
Also in the first Filter Set (on your homepage) try please to activate option Empty terms – Always hide to avoid “empty” filtering results.
Hi, Stepasyuk,
This is great filter! A comment about a year ago mentioned the following features:
” I have variable swatches plugin https://getwooplugins.com/plugins/woocommerce-variation-swatches/) which displays color attributes as colored labels.
...
1. ...
2. Another effect I want to have very much is: After filtering (for example red color) not only I get products that have red variant but also I get images of those variants – meaning I get only red variant images. Also when I click on the product (after filtering red color for example), one the product page the chosen variants are already selected and the right variant image is shown.
Are you planning to implement it in future updates (if so – when approximately). If not – do you think would it be hard to implement by a developer? And would it be a need to modify the filter plugin or swatches plugin? “
Your answer is: ” I have plans to implement filtering by variation attributes and this feature is on the second place in my plans list. The option to automatically select the right variation will be automatically added with filtering by variations feature. “
But I didn’t find a demo of this feature (About correct images for variations) on your current Demo site, so I’m wondering: is this feature implemented? Can you demonstrate it on the Demo site?
Kind Regards!
Hi Team,
i have an issue with Elementor and multiple Post widgets on the same page. how can i connect one Filter with a specific Elementor post Widget?
Small video: https://www.screencast.com/t/ULsYtHAHCB
Mby here is the issue
i use e-addons Query, but it look to me, that the query not work or not take over to the right queried widget.
What i try: give Post Widget (Elementor and e-addons) “css/ID” and also the same by CSS id or class of the Posts Container. Not filter anything.
Use a blank page, Post widget + Filter shortcode – no Posts filtered. (Query WooCommerce)
My Theme is blocksy.
Thank you for any hint Christoph
Hi Christoph
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
First of all you have to use Post widgets/grid that loads posts by WP_Query as it was usual for WordPress before. If you use widgets that load posts like Gutenberg blocks (via AJAX requests) they can not be filtered by Filter Everything plugin.
How to force specific Filter Set to filter specific widget – via selected its WP_Query in the “And what to filter?” field inside the Filter Set.
All this works without AJAX. If you want to make it work with AJAX you can add specific values for CSS id or class of the Posts Container option to relate Filter Sets with their HTML containers on the page.
Hi Stepasyuk, thank you for your replay, yes I understand the workflow, but it doesn’t work smooth with Elementor – i already added by the post widget the class and in basic it work.
I think I need a deeper implementation like Crocoblock filter or something like this.
Thank you
Hello,
with the new Update i get this: “Invalid license key. Please enter correct license key.”
I bought my lincense on 2022-06-15 20:03:38 UTC.
Cheers.
Hello nixon83
It seems you tried to insert something other in the license key field. To get your license key you have to click on the “Get your License Key” button and get it on the page opened in new tab.
Hello,
It doesn’t work. I go to envato -> Downloads -> Filter Everything – WordPress/WooCommerce Product Filter -> License Certificate & Purchase Code (Text) -> copy the item purchase code -> paste it into the “License Key” field (on my page).
Result: “Invalid license key. Please enter correct license key.” I don’t know what i do wrong…
nixon83
License key and purchase code are different things. Please, go to Filters -> Settings -> License, click on the “Get your License Key” and you will be redirected on the new page. Login there with your Envato credentials and you will see your License key for the Filter Everything PRO plugin.
Ahh… ok, now it works. Thanks
Hello, How can I enable the pop-up function (or off-canvas) also on PC view? Thanks
Hi digitaltoolsgr
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
In the latest version 1.6.8 which is available here on CodeCanyon you can achieve this by adding one code line:
add_filter( 'wpc_mobile_width', 'my_custom_wpc_mobile_width' );
function my_custom_wpc_mobile_width( $width )
{
$width = 1024;
return $width;
}
You can add this code in the functions.php file of your active theme and change 1024 to your desired screen width.
Hey, that doesn’t seem to work. I have the latest version, I played around with the number (1024) but filters still appear default on PC view, and not as a button with a pop-up view.
Hi digitaltoolsgr
Did you enabled Pop-up filters widget in FIlters -> Settings? If yes, you have to check maybe cache issue.
Would you please help with how to display the filter in Elementor also with ele custom skin?
Hello aljaleya
In general your support period is expired and I’m not obliged to spend my time to help you. But shortly I can give you advice – just insert it as widget or shortcode – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/
If you can not find widget in Elementor sidebar via search field, try please to scroll down the sidebar and select desired widget.
