Hey boss,
I’m running into a problem with ACF data not updating in FEP.
Case: I change a Choice in an ACF field. It does not update in FEP.
Video example: https://www.screencast.com/t/T7xldRZt0
This has happened twice now. I don’t want to re-create the ACF field and go through fifty posts to reassign the correct values to the field, then add a new filter for that ACF in FEP. It would be much better to just solve this so the ACF change updates in FEP.
Cheers and thanks for a great plugin.
Hello nplatt
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
You don’t need to re-create ACF field. Just set this new value in ACF field to any of your filtered posts and this term will appear in filter. Optionally you can reset filters term cache if you open any page of your site with ?reset_filters_cache=true parameter in the page’s URL.
Please, try to do this and let me know about the result.
Annoyingly, I had this working, but then for some reason it stopped. And when I re-checked the filters settings, I see that it is unable to detect the queries on the page anymore, showing “— Select Query —” where previously I had set what I needed to make it work, and no matter what I try to swap or change, it simply cannot detect the queries anymore.
I have a feeling it’s a cache issue, but would that affect the dashboard where the settings are also? And if it is truly a cache issue, what can I do about it?
Thanks
Hi Stepasyuk, I’ve followed your guide for support and PM’d you credentials for my site. Many thanks!
I’ve narrowed this down to being something within my theme that is blocking this, because when I switched theme on a staging version of my site, the queries were detected. Since my theme was custom coded by a 3rd party however, finding it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Any idea as to where I might start to look or what to look for? Thanks!
Hi Stepasyuk, just wondering if you’ve received all my info and credentials that I PM’d you?
Hi trevolution
Thank you for using the plugin and for your patience. FYI – if you write new comments here my answer will delay because my author dashboard shows me at first comments that were been left up to 2 days ago.
Indeed, in 99% cases reason of such behavior is caching of the WP_Query. And technically I can’t do nothing with this because I can only catch WP_Query, but it’s cached copy can be stored in different ways dependendly from a theme or plugin. And there is no common way to get it.
But usually next steps help to bypass it – if it is for example posts module of any Page Builder, just udpate the page with this posts module inside. Or if it is custom code, usually it should reset cached WP_Query if you change any its value, for example posts per page count or so. I think you understand what I mean.
Helo Stepasyuk, it would be great if we can duplicate filter sets – maybe in future update – copy it and then select where to filter. Thanks
Hello anoagency
Yes, sure. This feature already presented in my development plans. But for the moment I don’t know when exactly this will happen. I will notify you here in this comments thread when it will be ready.
Hi Stepasyuk, I have a problem with value order, I have a ACF number field and in the filter the number is not ordered.

Hi francescoMenabo
Thank you for using the plugin.
In general you can try to play with the values for the “Sort Terms by” inside More options of your filter. If this will not give you desired result, you always can sort your terms via PHP code and using hook ‘wpc_terms_before_display’ – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/hooks/#terms-before-display-hook
We have your plugin installed on a webshop and it works great for our categories. It’s not working of our search results though. The reason is that we use another plugin to optimize the search results (Advanced Woo Search). It helps a lot with the quality and speed of the results. We’d really like to use both plugins together, but it seems Filter Everything PRO isn’t picking up the right query to filter. Any tips on how we might get the two to work together? I’ve also send you a link to the problem via PM. We are happy to pay an hour of your time if that helps.
Hi Logo4Life
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO plugin.
In general to make this WP_Query to be filterable you have to look in the body of the collectWPQueries(); function located in the WpManager.php file and to check why this WP_Query is not included in the list of WP_Queries available for selection in the “And what to filter?” field. If you will find the reason, you can try to change plugin’s code and include this query and filter it. But of course this modification should be copied in your future plugin updates.
I would be glad to help you with this, but unfortunately I have no time for such paid modifications. But maybe any other developer has time and desire to do this.
Hi,
I contacted you on WordPress to help me with 404 ajax (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-custom-permalinks-plugin/#post-15954184).
Seem I can figure it what case the 404 ajax error, I try many similar plugins, and all seem not to work. Seem something is with filter-everything. Can you check it?
Thanks, Alex
Hi Alex
Thank you for purchasing the plugin.
Please, send me credentials to your /wp-admin in accordance with this document I will check it myself.
Hi Stepasyuk, I send credentials.
Hi alexandru292
I checked this and realized that it looks like 404 erorr is not generated by Filter Everything plugin, but it seems by the Custom Permalinks plugin. This plugin does not recognize FE URL parts and “thinks” that it is invalid URL.
In general you can use FE with Custom Permalinks plugin, but wihtout permalinks in FE. If you add in the functions.php file of your active theme:
define( 'FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED', false );
Another option to combine these two plugins for the moment is not possible.
About problem with Range slider – I will check it later and will let you know.
Hi Stepasyuk, thank you very much! Seem it works correctly with FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED. Please let me know when you check the ranger slider.
How do I remove the term “Select” from a dropdown filter?
Hi Santosfel5
Thank you for using the plugin.
You have several ways to change string - Select %s - to your own:
1) To translate it with the Loco translate plugin or other software.
2) To use template overriding feature https://filtereverything.pro/resources/templates-overriding/ to override the dropdown.php template and replace the string.
I think the second way is more preferred for you if you use the English language on your site.
Hi. Is it possible If I ask for a refund because I can’t use it at all. It’s very difficult for me to use.
Hi koiinattji
I’m sorry that you was not able to use the plugin. Did you see this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko9zqeYz7n8 It can be helpful to understand how to create and display filters.
Hi Stepasyuk, congratulations on the plugin. Im very happy for my purchase.
I just have 2 doubts:
1. I found how to filter products by other categories, but i also need a filter for the sub-categories of the category opened.
2. How can i create a filter set for search results page?
THANKS!
Hi raphaelschaffer
Thank you for using the plugin.
1. What is the problem with sub-categories in your case? Usually it is possible by default, for example here on demo page you can see this – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/category/health/category-beauty/
2. Just select in the “Where to filter?” field values “Common WordPress pages” -> “Search results page for selected Post Type” in your Filter Set. And also please make sure that you inserter Filters widget (or its shortcode [fe_widget]) on the page with search results.
Hi,
Congrats on this great plugin.
1. Im talking about product filtering, the “product category” filter shows all categories that the products in the results belong to.
But I also want an option to only show the sub-categories of the selected category.
Example: If im at the “food” category page in the filter it will show chocolate (a sub-category) but it will also show t-shirts if a product belongs to both food and t-shirt category.
I also wanted a list to only show the sub-categories of the selected category.
Since we are a marketplace we dont have much control of categories selected by our sellers so this option would be great to only show the subs
2. Ok, so i have to edit our thems HTML code for the search page?
3. How can we create a filter by products on sale? If you could send a list of all filter shortcodes to be used would be great.
4. We use WCFM as our marketplace plugin, and it generates a vendor page for each seller with their products. I inserted the filters there but they dont work.
They filter shows the correct categories and price range but it doesnt filter when selected.
THANKS!
Hi raphaelschaffer
1. If need to show only sub-category terms of the current selected category you can achieve this by custom code and using hook ‘wpc_terms_before_display’ This hook allows you to manipulate with all available filter terms and on code level you can remove all extra categories and leave only sub-categories.
Also you can achieve the same by modifying chekcbox.php template using template overriding feature.
Also you probably will need to use the function flrt_is_filter_request(); https://filtereverything.pro/resources/functions/ to check if current page is filter request or not.
2. It is not necessary, often search results page contains sidebar and allows you to insert there regular WordPress widget. But if your page dees not contain, as option you can insert it as shortcode. More about shortcodes you can find here – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/
3. Here is example and instruction how to create such filter – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/example/by-sale/
4. Usually such behavior is the evidence that you didn’t select correct WP_Query in the “And what to filter?” field of the Filter Set. Please, try to experiment with different WP_Queries in this field.
Hi,
1. Sorry, it got very confused to me.
I select a “custom field” filter and insert “wpc_terms_before_display” in the meta key?
If so, it didnt work…
Can you guide me better trough it?
2. It worked! Tks
3. It worked! Tks
4. Ok, I’ll try and let you know because its not high priority.
5. Is it possible to also show on sale products in the “order by” dropdown? So its orders the product list by products on sale first.
6. WCFM (the marketplace plugin) has a product filter by vendor (seller user), can we use this widget inside your plugin? Would we need its metakey, if so how can i find it? Dev console or something?
THANKS!
3. Actually, it didnt worked.
Its showing a higher amount of products on sale and it is not filtering.
The URL is showing “ofertas-yes” for products on sale but i have tested and if it goes like ”?ofertas=1” it works!
How can the URL give that? ”?ofertas=1” instead of “ofertas-yes” and also show the right number of products on sale.
Hi raphaelschaffer.
1. No no, ‘hook’ is programmers word and my answer expects that you are familiar with PHP coding. If you are not, you have to ask a developer to help you with this.
3. It looks like you created “Custom Field Num” fitler instead of regular “Custom Field”.
5. In theory, you could create a sorting criteria by the meta key ‘_sale_price’ and it should sort by “On Sale” status. But I didn’t try it before so you can check it by yourself.
6. I’m not sure if you can use 3rd party plugin filter inside Filter Everything filters widget. But if that filter works by meta key, it means you can create in Filter Everything filter by the same meta key (Custom Field) and it should work.
After I activate this plugin, the search bar functionality all of a sudden breaks. Instead of showing search results, it shows a “404 Error” in the body content (menu, header and footer still display correctly). Anything I can do to fix this?
Hi benwcrane
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
Please, update the plugin to the latest v 1.7.0 which is compatible with WP6.0 You can download it from your account on CodeCanyon and update via Plugins -> Add New -> Upload plugin -> Replace current with new. Do not forget to create a DB backup before that.
Unfortunately I’m still getting the same error: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18toRoA5YmDIhkbKFDKRkO4XrLTqhBWye/view?usp=sharing
Reminder that I’m still in need to a fix please (fyi I don’t use the permalink manager that others have issues with)
Can I replace the label ‘Select first’ with the original Label? How can I select the sub-category-product in the Add Filter place?
Hello nguyenthaitoan
You can only translte phrase “Select %s first” for example with Loco translate plugin or other software for *.po files. Optionally you can edit it in the FiltersWidget.php file inside plugin folder, but these changes will be overriden, when you update the plugin.
If you need to select sub-category as page for desired Filters Set just select in the “Where to filter?” field “Product categories” in the left dropdown and desired sub-category in the right dropdown.
Hi,
Congrats, great plugin!
I’ve just bought the PRO version in order to use it in all my categories and also in the Blog.
I have 3 problems/questions. The 3 of them are MOBILE related.
My benchmark is: https://roundmusic.nl/product-categorie/gitaar/akoestisch/aantal_snaren-6/model_akoestisch-dreadnought/links_handig-ja/
1. White Space below mobile button: The button “Filters” in mobile comes with a white space below which generates a bad UI experience in the site?
2. Sticky Button in mobile: I’d like to put the button sticky to the left corner at the bottom. But I can’t do this only for mobile cause it does it for desktop as well ruining the UX experience.
3. UI Padding in mobile: Regarding the filters, they seem to work very well but I’d like to add some padding in the left when they are opened in mobile. For desktop it’s showing it perfectly, but not for mobile.
Thanks again!
Hi joaquintorroba
Thank you for using the plugin.
I will answer you step by step:
1. In fact Filters button for mobile has no space under itself, but only its wrapper has top and bottom margins. If you need to remove them, please add next CSS in Filters -> Settings -> Experimentsl -> Custom CSS
@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
body.wpc_show_bottom_widget .wpc-filters-open-button-container{
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
}
2. You have to change CSS of the Filters button and I would be glad to provide it you here, but it is something out from the item support scope. I can only say, that you have to make Filters button position fixed via CSS rule.
3. You always can open Chrome console and inspect the element you are interested in and find CSS rule that responsible for the element styles and change these styles as you need. You can put your custom CSS in Filters -> Settings -> Experimentsl -> Custom CSS.
I hope these answers will be helpful for you.
Hi Stepasyuk,
Thanks for replying. My answers:
1. I did it but it still looks the same. You can see it here: https://cannmed.es/category/aceites-cbd/
2. I’ll try to solve this but can you point me in any direction besides that? Maybe a blog or tutorial?
3. Ok ok, thanks.
Hi, Could you see my answer? Number one specially.
Still looking bad with the white space.
I pasted that CSS code in CSS in Filters -> Settings -> Experimentsl -> Custom CSS and it didn’t change.
Link here to open mobile: https://cannmed.es/category/aceites-cbd/
Waiting for your kind reply
Update to save time: 1. Margins: solved 2. Sticky: solved
Last question: Can I change the word “filters” by other depending the category? Or just “filtros” since the audience is from Spain?
Hi joaquintorroba
Sorry fo the late response.
FYI – if you write new comment here my response will delay up to 2 days after this latest comment. My author dashborad here sort comments so that I see the most older first.
I’m glad that you were able to solve other problems. About word “Filters” – you can translate it with Loco translate plugin (and deactivate it after translation). Or you can edit the filters-button.php template using template overriding feature and add there current category name. Of course it requires to be familiar with PHP code or ask a developer to help you.
Thanks!
Hi, I wanted to filter posts as per Advance Customer Fields. But not sure what should I set here
https://prnt.sc/IJNB2Zz7izIG I can see this error. https://prnt.sc/Q_yLwn28G8PXCheers, Aan
Hi cresaan
Thank you for using FIlter Everything PRO.
In the “Where to filter?” dropdowns you have to specify page or pages, where posts you want to filter located. If it is Homepage you have to select “Common Wordpress pages” -> “Homepage”. If your posts are displayed on the Blog page – “Common Wordpress pages” -> “Blog page” If it is custom page with inserted posts module on it (for example via Elementor) it should be “Pages” -> “Your page title with posts module”
So as you see it depends from your current WordPress settings.
hi, can you share with me the CSS to make multiple filters horizontal when on Desktop and tablet, but remain as vertical when on mobile?
Hi edricho
Sure, it is possible by adding appropriate CSS on your site:
For individual Filters widget – https://gist.github.com/wpserve/7683f0e6e1bfbb0c9eba224137e47942
For all Filters widgets on a site – https://gist.github.com/wpserve/ffc87e04af835f27d64db36da6c0b940
You can add this CSS (and probably modify it with your Filter Set ID) in Filters -> Settings -> Experimental -> Custom CSS
thanks, in addition, is there a way to add in a search bar to search through the results as well?
You can do this in reverse order – first to search for a word, then filter the results using the Filter Everything PRO. In this case regular WordPress search widget will be compatible.
widgets are not enabled on my site, so i wont be able to use that solution..
I understand your situation, but search widget is something out of Filter Everything support scope. You can insert it on your page in the way which is more prefered for you – with widget, shortcode, custom code or so.
Hello Stepasyuk, I have 2 questions about plugin: ¨ 1. when using button mode – is it possible to keep filter chips? When using autosubmit mode I have problem when I click one brand the other ones dissapears so I cant choose more of them (maybe if could slower autosubmit…) I dont know what is better but keeping the chips and button mode would do the trick.
2. can I move sorting widget to default position – over the product grid to the right and how?
Thank you very much, greetings from Czech rep – SLAVA UKRAINE!!! Olaf
Oh about question 1. – my fault, chips are working ok… so please look only at point 2. Thanks
Hello anoagency. Thank you, HEROIAM SLAVA!
If you mean Sorting widget you can place it anywhere on your site pages – as widget or as shortcode [fe_sort] https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/#sorting-widget
Hi, first thanks for a great plugin doing what I need so far but just one issue. I am running a rugby website that uses Sportspress to capture scores from multiple teams and over 100 years of scores.
I am looking to filter by season and by team of the sportspress calendars, it appears as though I cannot assign the seasons (year) filter to all calendars but have to create a filter for each and every calendar which is possible but very time consuming – I created a single page structure on Elementor for calendars.
It seems the problem is that when I click on “apply filtering if page is” and I use calendars then it asks me to choose a specific calendar – is it not possible for it to be just all calendars?
And with regarding teams is there maybe code or shortcode I can use? I refer you to the this page:
https://support.themeboy.com/article/98-filtersThank you so much for any assistance you can provide.
Hi tom518
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
If your calendars are separate WP_Queries it means that you have to select one of them to filter it. You can not select “All WP_Queries” because they may be different and the plugin requires “to know” what exactly WP_Query should be filtered.
Optionally you can send me credentials to your /wp-admin in accordance with this document and I will check it myself (because I’m not sure I understood our problem clearly for 100%)
Hi, is there a video guide for the pro version? Thanks.
How to put many filters on one page like this page: https://demo.filtereverything.pro/product-category/clothing/women/color-black/c-kind-dress/?max_price=250
Hi Double20
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO. Look please video on this page about basic plugin settings – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/quickstart/Yeah. Thanks for your help.
I’m glad that your problem was solved 
I would be thankful for a review about the plugin here on CodeCanyon – https://codecanyon.net/item/filter-everything-wordpress-woocommerce-filter/reviews/31634508
Thank you in advance!
Hi, I’m using Blocksy theme and as others pointed out, H1 titles are not rendered with “h1” tag. I’ve added a filter so it works OK now (found filter in the documentation). But there is also a problem with breadcrumbs rendering. I don’t know what happens, but on /shop/ page it displays normally and after clicking any filter, CSS responsible for ”.breadcrumb” is lost. What could be the issue here? Lastly, I have a relatively small shop, where /shop/ and /first-category/ (removed category root slug) display nearly identical content. Is it somehow possible to have a SEO Rule to use “without category OR with “first-category” so I don’t have to create every single rule twice? All other categories don’t have products that have filterable attributes. Thanks!
Hi morvy
Thank you for using the plugin.
1. I’m glad that your problem with H1 titles now is solved.
2. If to be honestly I don’t know how Fiter Everything PRO can be related with the breadcrumbs CSS or with any other CSS files. I guess that it may depends from the how your breadcrumbs CSS file is included on your site and maybe it depends from the site URL which is changed during filtering process. I reccomend you check this moment in the breadcrumbs code.
3. No, unfortunately no, SEO rules have a clear logic and they work strictly – with or without a category. So these should be two different SEO rules. But maybe in your case you can create common SEO rules instead of specific ones. For example: Specific category + Any Brand + Any Color (as example of your filter attributes)
We have installed this plugin onto an eCommerce site that’s built with Divi and WooCommerce, but we are having two main issues:
1 – When you click on a category checkbox the page is forwarded to a URL which does not exist – it’s producing a 404 error. it’s not filtering on the current page. The URL that’s created does not match the category archive URL. Also, on page loading with AJAX it doesn’t filter products.
2 – when you use the filter on mobile with the pop-up widget menu it displays behind the content of the shop page. There’s no way to interact with the menu other than to close it. We tried to use CSS to bring it to the front but that didn’t solve it.
Hello leeskellett
Thank you for using the plugin.
Send me please link to the page with these problems. You can optionally send it via PM, if you click on my username. But don’t forget to write about this here in comments, otherwise I can skip this your message.
Will send VIA PM now.
Hi, have just sent you the shop URL and log in details on email.
Hello, have you looked at the issue yet? Did you get our email yesterday morning with the URL and log in details? We did message on here (as above) so you’d see we’d done it.
Hello leeskellett
Thank you for your credentials.
I checked your site and realized that you had one Filter Set in your trash and this Set had URL prefix that caused conflict. I removed this FIlter Set and now 404 error disappeared.
About pop-up widget on mobile devices – I made some CSS adjustments to make it better, but in general this problem is related with your page HTML structure and that fact that you put Filters widget inside div which is overlapped by neighboring divs.
So as option you can change z-index for these divs for example when pop-up is opened (in this case the body tag has CSS class <codoe>wpc-overlay-visible) and they will not overlap Filters widget.
Hi, I cannot get the filter to work on search pages. If I first search for term “abc”, the correct results are shown, as well as the correct filter terms and counts. However, when I select a category “def”, tag “ghi” or author “jkl”, the search results are not filtered further.
For example, I search for term “abc” and get 3 results with different categories. The filter shows all three categories and the correct count, but when I select the first category it still shows all 3 posts. I have tried experimenting with the different post queries but that doesn’t help.
