This is a really great plugin, thank you.
I’m trying to use a single filter set across multiple pages, is this possible? I can only see the option to select one page.
Hello garethh3
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
In general it is possible but with some restrictions – you can only select list of typical pages. For example all archive pages for a post type. Or all category pages, all tag pages, all taxonomy pages etc.
But you can not select a list of different Pages, because it requires that they all should contain exactly the same WP_Query which usually is not.
Thanks for your reply, it’s working well. I have a couple more questions if that’s ok? I will create a new ticket.
Is it possible to have an option selected by default in a dropdown?
I know I can get a specific URL to kind of cover that scenario, but if I have a filter on a homepage, people may land on the base unfiltered page, if that makes sense. So if visitors land on the base page, I’d like for the query to be pre-filtered as it were. Maybe some parameter I can add to the shortcode?
I’ve tried to force the base page to redirect to my desired filter parameter through a small javascript but that results in some undesired looping effects.
Hello trevolution
Unfortunately no, it is impossible yet. It can be done only via URL included the desired filter part.
As option you can change your home URL in .htaccess file and your homepage will always be opened/redirected to this URL. But it requires to be familiar a bit with htaccess configuration or to find examples in Google.
A few weeks ago I started to translate the plugin to Italian, but translations are still on “waiting” and are not getting approved, so I stopped. I also contacted you on Slack but maybe you didn’t see my message. Would you like your plugin to be translated?
Hello atti84it
Thank you for your efforts in translation to Italian. It would be great if you will do this for 100%. Your translations can approve only somebody who is Italian translate editor on wordpress.org. I already made request to become such editor for Italian, but also you can ask somebody from this list – https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/it/default/wp-plugins/filter-everything/ ( here – https://prnt.sc/tu_GIBh6yOcN )
In any case I will approve them myself if nobody do this. You can continue to translate strings and they will be approved for 100%.
I want an vehicle search filter by attribute (make, model, year) on my home page to find products that meet those requirements. Will your plugin do this?
Need to be able to filter by attributes
Hi songsmash
Thank you for your interest in Filter Everything PRO.
Yes, sure. It supports filtering by attributes and you can place filters on your homepage.
I’m attempting to filter a custom post type with Filter Everything. I have added some custom fields using the field name (sv-make). I am attempting to show this with a checkbox.
For example, I attempting to filter vehicles by their make. Using a custom field radio button with options.
The filter set is displaying on the desired page, however the error message I’m getting is ‘There are no terms yet’, despite there being options present.
I am developing locally but can provide you with a live link if necessary and email you some log ins.
Hi pricejonathan
Thank you for purchasing the plugin.
Usually if you see the message “There are no terms yet” it means that you set wrong meta key for the Custom Field filter. Or as the second reason it can be fact that your did not set values to your posts yet. Filter Everything PRO takes filter terms from posts that have these values, but not directly from ACF field. Please, check both these possible reasons.
Hi there. Thank you for the reply.
I have used the field name with and without _ (underscore) prefix.
There are definitely terms present within the posts that I am attempting to query.
Does the filter set work with sub_fields? A lot of the fields are grouped in ACF, making them sub_fields.
I will be moving to a staging site shortly, will you be able to assist further?
Hi pricejonathan
In general Group field contains subfields and you can filter by them. But you have to know how ACF gives name for subgroup fields. For example if group meta key has name “origin”, subfield meta key has name “country” the filter’s meta key by this subfield should be “origin_country”. So please, check what exactly meta key you use.
The best way to check this is to install PhpMyAdmin plugin and check it directly in DataBase.
I’m having trouble with products that are not on sale, showing up in an on sale filter (on sale products are filtered correctly). There dosen’t seem to be any reason to what products show up, but I can conclude that none of them have any data in the “Sales price” field. I’ve exported some of the products to a .csv and there is nothing in the field.
Inputting something to the field, saving, then deleting the input, and saving again solves the problem – this is however not a very good solution.
Maybe a possible solution, could be a manual re-index button in the plugin in options, or a CRON feature doing the same.
Hello 7milaps
Thank you for using the plugin.
In general I can say that it is not a plugin bug but it seems it is consequence of the data stored in your post meta fields.
I would be glad to help you more with this, but unfortunately your support period has already expired. If you still need help with the plugin, please extend your support period and I will be happy to help you or to answer your questions.
Kind regards.
Hello, I bought your filter everything plugin with the license: c95af63a-5ecf-4246-bd11-3f542dab9c06 – 7 Oct 2022
Since Friday, I contacted you to report the filter malfunction: https://ibb.co/N9fBtV1 https://ibb.co/dtXqYhNI have sent you the FTP and Wordpress back office access previously.
Can I have a feedback from you please to know if you are working on it or not ?
Indeed, I just need to know if you take care of my request or not.
Thanks in advance Sincerely Bruno
Hi Bruno
Thank you for using the plugin and sorry for the late response. I’m from Ukraine and here we have some troubles related with russians war.
I checked your site and realized that you have Permalinks Manager plugin which is not fully compatible with Filter Everything PRO. So you can disable Permalinks Manager and use Filter Everything PRO. Or you can use them both simultaneously, but FE will work without permalinks. Here is example – https://staging-sportinplace.kinsta.cloud/listing/category/velo-appartement/?velo-appartement=gris-fonce
I disabled permalinks by adding next code in the functions.php of the active theme:
define( 'FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED', false );
If you still need permalinks in fitlers, you can delete this code.
So I managed to do the right query. Now it can detect the pages. However, it does not affect the page grid based on the filter.
Look filter with nothing: https://prnt.sc/TjuYf4U3Dimm With filter: https://prnt.sc/Azl_RkvcnmpA
Still the same.

It happens sometimes and possible reasons are:
- Wrong WP_Query selected in the “And what to filter?” field of the Filter Set. Please try to experiment with different WP_Queries in the dropdown.
- Cache issue (WP_Query is cached). You have to check and maybe disable your cache plugins or modules in your hosting provider dashboard.
- AJAX enabled but wrong value for CSS id or class of the Posts Container specified. Please, disable the AJAX feature, until you will ensure that filtering works in general.
Hello,
Thank you for your response!
I fixed the issue now with your help and it’s working great.
Another part that we don’t like is that it loads when we click one filter.
When we do that it reloads to the top.
We have a lot of filters so scrolling back down after clicking one filter after the other seems frustrating.
Is there a button to unclick for this?
Thanks again for your help!
Hello natuplagnalajoy
I’m glad that your problem was solved.
You have two options – you can enable AJAX and every time your visitor selects a fitler only filtered posts will be reloaded instead of whole page. I recommend you to read this short article about AJAX – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/plugin-settings/#ajax
Also you can use filter in “Appy Button” mode and every click on a filter will not reload page, until you click on the “Apply” button. So page will be reloaded only one time after selectin all filters.
Thanks!
I’m glad that your problem was solved.
I would be thankful for positive review about the plugin here on CodeCanyon – https://codecanyon.net/item/filter-everything-wordpress-woocommerce-filter/reviews/31634508
Thank you in advance!
Hello, we have a lot of pages that are connected to our categories. This is on WordPress. Unfortunately, this plugin cannot detect the pages?
Let me know if you can help me with this. We bought the pro version.
https://prnt.sc/viXsInGTVm4I https://prnt.sc/w2ryVXI29XHN https://prnt.sc/3JxFrSBx6_4MHello natuplagnalajoy
Thank you for purchasing the plugin.
In general you can specify Filter Set to any of your category page or for all category pages. You have to select it in the “Where to filter?” field.
Hi Stepasyuk, do you have a timeline for release of the XML sitemap functionality within the plugin?
Hi danmaby
I’m trying to implement this as fast as soon, but war in Ukraine affects on this process also. I hope up to the New Year, I will finish this feature.
Hello!
SEO specialists of our company ask if it is possible in any way not to display URL prefixes created in the filtering process.
Is it possible in any way not to show the URL change during the filtering process? or explain to specialists that this does not affect SEO in any way?
Thank you.
Hello antonz13
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
1) In general it is not possible to remove URL prefixes. Technically it can be done, but it will require a lot of server resources and plugin will be very hard for websites.
2) URL changings is necessary to inform WordPress what filters were selected and I can not change it. But if you did not create SEO Rules for filtering result pages, all them have <meta name='robots' content='noindex, nofollow' /> and can not be indexed by Google or other Search Engines. So it means such URLs does not affect on SEO of your site.
Hi, thanks for previous support.
When we activate the apply button the filter stops working. The results are no longer filtered, even after clicking apply. For example: http://164.92.167.52/led-belysning/produktserie-p-007/ytfinish-matt/
Here is the shop without filters applied: http://164.92.167.52/led-belysning/
When we disable the apply button, the filter starts working as intended again.
The client would like the apply and reset button, please advice.
Thank you 
Hi smelinkab
Usually such behavior is evidence that you selected wrong WP_Query in the Filter Set. Can you please to check if you use the same WP_Query with Apply button mode enabled and without it?
And also send me please link to the screenshot with current settings of the “Alternative Location” field.
When we originally purchased this plugin we ran into some issues working with our theme that we purchased on Themeforest. We thought it might just be an issue with that theme. We have since uploaded a new theme on a fresh server instance and tried this plugin again. Same issue. It does not filter our post results. In the example below we have selected one tag with one associated post yet after filtering we see the same selection and no filtering.
We did ask the author for a refund originally and he said some very unfriendly remarks. Here is proof that this plugin has issues:
https://prnt.sc/fRqG4kzP1hlRIf there is a fix then I would welcome it, if not, can you please process our refund as you can clearly see it has issues?
Many thanks.
Here is the test page with the plugin conflict/bug: https://buildreview.org/test-filter-everything/
Spagrand it is plugin configuration error. It is known mistake and was discussed here on CodeCanyon comments many times. As I told you before I will be glad to help you to solve the issue in case if your support period is active. For the moment it is expired.
Forcing author to provide support/refund via 1-star reviews violates reviews Rules.
I’m sorry but since purchase this plugin has never worked for us and we are not going to waste more money on it. How can a plugin that has never worked properly and is full of bugs be given more than one star? As you point out many people have issues with your plugin, why is it so bad? It’s a shame you hide behind such a poor attitude. If you know what the ‘common’ issue is then why don’t you post it in your documentation in a troubleshooting section? I have wasted much too much time on this below par plugin and won’t waste anymore.
Hey Spagrand
Select correct WP_Query and filtering will work properly.
Thank you finally to actually help, much appreciated.
Experimenting to find the right wp_query helps a little but still doesn’t fully work.
Scenario: Say your tag count for a particular tag word is 10 and your page only loads 6 at a time, when you select read more you expect the page to load 4 additional posts, but no, it loads another 6 which aren’t tag related.
We’ve tried every wp_query option and this doesn’t help.
By the way, just to give you some context about our plugin purchase and support period, in New Zealand we went straight into another lockdown (one of many) which closed our offices. We never had a chance to install your plugin after purchase and when our business eventually reopened and we started developing this site again for our client we had exceeded the plugin support period. It is only now that we had a chance to test your plugin and have run into many issues. So a bit of flexibility would be appreciated because its been a tough few years for many businesses globally.
Hello Spagrand
As I see in our case it would be better to give your refund for the plugin. Please, create refund request from the form in your profile and I will return you money. It seems for your site it will be better to use another plugin and I will improve my one in future updates.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hello
Every time I try to use the filter plugin. It comes up with this notification: ‘There are no filters in the Filter Set yet. Please add them to the Filter Set related to this page.’ I keep going back and tweaking the filter sets in the dashboard but it isn’t changing. I am not sure what to do.
Kind regards, Olivia
Hello LivLauryn
If you want to disable these messages on pages, where you don’t need to see them can disable them in Filters -> Settings -> Debug mode.
That’s not what I mean. I mean I cannot get the filters to work
Hello, I managed to get it to work but I have a new problem. Can I send a screenshot so I can show it to you?
Hello LivLauryn
Sure, please send link to the screenshot here or via PM.
Hello, I am having the same issue as I had before on another page. I have added two screenshots. Can you let me know if you have any ideas on what the issue could be? thanks

Hello again
I managed to make the filters appear. However, they are not actually filtering the products. I have attached another screenshot.
https://paste.pics/9b8f3a9a17f9606934f6fe55c3078ecaHello Olivia
Sorry for the late reponse.
It is known issue, when you configure plugin wrong. Possible reason are:
- Wrong WP_Query selected in the “And what to filter?” field of the Filter Set. Please try to experiment with different WP_Queries in the dropdown.
- Cache issue (WP_Query is cached). You have to check and maybe disable your cache plugins or modules in your hosting provider dashboard.
- AJAX enabled but wrong value for CSS id or class of the Posts Container specified. Please, disable the AJAX feature, until you will ensure that filtering works in general.
Hello Stepasyuk, thank you for your advice? Is this for the first issue or the second issue?
Hello Olivia.
This advice is for the issue I managed to make the filters appear. However, they are not actually filtering the products
BTW, you don’t need to create 3 Filter Sets to place them horizontally above the content. It is enough to create one Filter Set and add next CSS in Filters -> Settings -> Experimental -> Custom CSS – https://gist.github.com/wpserve/ffc87e04af835f27d64db36da6c0b940
Hi Strepasyuk. It won’t allow me to filter by product categories twice within the same set
Hi again
Thank you, your solution worked. Would you be able to tell me how to remove the filter label from being visible on the webpage? https://paste.pics/773642ad50442223bf688615d7335307
Hi LivLauryn
I’m glad that it works for you 
To hide filter label you can make it empty in every filter and there will be nothing to display.
Hello again 
Thank you for helping me remove the label. Unfortunately it still leaves an unsightly gap. Is there anyway to remove or customize this? I have attached a screenshot of the webpage (https://paste.pics/6dfc39d44d2165ab9f33842e51fadfdf) and what it looks like in Elementor (https://paste.pics/40b1d4af143fd158ca548290d5f5dcfc).
Best wishes, Liv
In case they don’t work, here are some other screenshots: https://paste.pics/27c0daa78d3bd8eeaa308bd0f5ea5548 https://paste.pics/57ef73d22db1a1d6909dc635eb4a26a7
Hello Olivia.
Send me please link to the page with this problem and I will give you CSS snipett that solves this problem. Optionally you can send it via PM, but let me know here in comments about this.
Hello, thank you for your help. I use the filters on two pages: 1. https://livlauryn.com/shop-all/ 2. https://livlauryn.com/shop-more-products-2/
Hello Olivia.
Please add this code in Filters -> Settings -> Experimental -> Custom CSS:
.wpc-filters-section-7313 .wpc-filter-title,
.wpc-filters-section-7318 .wpc-filter-title,
.wpc-filters-section-7443 .wpc-filter-title,
.wpc-filters-section-7453 .wpc-filter-title,
.wpc-filters-widget-wrapper .wpc-posts-found p{
margin-bottom: 0;
}
.wpc-filters-section-7313 .wpc-posts-found,
.wpc-filters-section-7318 .wpc-posts-found,
.wpc-filters-section-7453 .wpc-posts-found,
.wpc-filters-section-7443 .wpc-posts-found{
line-height: 0;
}
It will move all dropdowns on the same level.
Thank you so much! It looks so much better now 
Hi Stepasyuk,
I bought the pro version because it said that i can make a filter on my homepage. I am trying to get an sunweb.nl kind of homepage filter, that searches on the woocommerce shop page after filling the dropboxes and clicking on the button.
How do I do that?
Greetings, Rens
Hi Rens
At first try please to configure your Filter Set to work on your Shop page for example by this turorial – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko9zqeYz7n8&feature=emb_title
After you will ensure that it filters properly, you have to enable option “«Apply Button» mode”, set your Homepage as Alternative location and put Filters widget on your Homepage.
Hi there
purchased the filter everything plugin 2b4d930e-fc95-4ea7-b94c-8eb236c125d3
when trying to save the license key I get a “unknown error” and cannot proceed
can you help?
thanks in advance Nikos
Hi Nikos
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
Usually it means that your hosting provider block outer requests or maybe host connect.fitlereverything.pro is blocked for connections from your server. Please, ask your provider support to check if there is no problems with connection with this host. They should help you to solve the issue.
How can we add the code to our theme with using widgets?
Hi johnm430
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
You don’t need to use shortcodes, if your theme supports widgets. Just insert desired widget (Filters, Sorting, Chips) in desired sidebar or widget area. But if you still need to use shortcodes, you can find them here – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/
Hi,
We have added new products to our site but the totals against the relevant categories aren’t updating in the filter list.
They are showing as 0 when they have 1 product in the relevant category/tag.
I’ve cleared the caches and checked in Incognito but it’s still showing as 0 products.
Hi leeskellett
Please, try to reset filters cache. For this open your site with additional paramter in URL – ?reset_filters_cache=true. For example https://example.com/?reset_filters_cache=true This should help you to update counts.
Hi, this didn’t work. I’d seen that you’d suggested this to someone else and had already tried it but the totals didn’t update. I tried: https://peachesprintstudio.kc-test.co.uk/?reset_filters_cache=true as well as https://peachesprintstudio.kc-test.co.uk/shop/?reset_filters_cache=true
Hi leeskellett
This problem is related with your cache plugin SG Optimizer. It also caches WP_Query selected in your Filter Set so I recommend you to configure Filter Everything with disabled caching and enable or reset cache after all changes on your site.
Now works fine, please check it – https://peachesprintstudio.kc-test.co.uk/shop/product-category-cheque/
Hi leeskellett
I deactivated SiteGround Optimizer plugin and selected this WP_Query – https://prnt.sc/2B30SlDmKQRg After that filtering became to work fine.
It seems you have to configure SiteGround Optimizer to work with Filter Evertything (for example do not cache filtering result pages) or maybe to use another cache plugin.
I also have the following problem: On mobile, when I click on “filter”, the window does not appear.
Below, I have created accesses for you: https://staging-sportinplace.kinsta.cloud/wp-login.php Login : filter-everything Password : filter-everything-envatoThanking you in advance Sincerely Bruno
Hi Bruno
I disabled checkbox “Collapse Filters Widget on Mobile devices” and it seems now works fine.
Hi Stepasyuk, I really appreciate filter everything pro. Good job! I have a problem with two things: 1. I’ve created a dropdown menu on the homepage but the arrow to open the dropdown list doesn’t appear on the centre of height of the box. 2. How can I insert a search box displayed when opening the dropdown menu?
This is the link of my website: www.kernterm.it Thank you in advance for your help
Hi acolombo9
1. It seems the first problem is not related with the Filter Everything PRO plugin. It is custom CSS from your theme or site settings.
2. If you want to use nice improved dropdowns you can enable them in Filters -> Settings -> Experimental -> Improved dropdowns These dropdowns contain search box.
Hi Stepasyuk, thank you for the answer. It seems that elementor adds its own arrow by default. How can I overwrite your arrow style? what should I add in custom CSS? Thanks in advance for your help
Hi acolombo9
I’m not sure I understood your question clear. As I see you already enabled Improved dropdowns and now they look pretty.
