Hi, we’ve created a filter set with four filters and some SEO rules. We’d like to add indexed URLs to our sitemap.xml to fasten Google indexing of those kind of pages. Do you know any tips/tools to accomplish this? We’re currently using Yoast to automatically create our sitemap (posts, pages, categories, ecc…) but we’re available to change method if we can have control on this kind of customization.
Hi stockton78
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
I already started to work on this feature inside my plugin but for different reasons I could not to finish it. I hope this will happen in next months.
In general I do not know any WordPress tool (plugin) that can help you to achieve that. But I think such desktop software that parses all possible URLs on a site should exists. If I’m not mistaken “Screaming frog” is such tool.
Hi there. I have an issue with the checkboxes and radio buttons.
Clicking on the link works and filters the item. However, selecting the checkbox or radio button portion doesn’t work.
Any advice. 
Hi smashdigital22
Please, send me link to the page with example of this issue. Optionally you can send it via PM.
Thank you.
Hello Andrii, I need your help please. In one of my websites (https://di-strategies.com/c/resume-templates/style-best/ ; generatepress theme) you helped me to customize functions.php so that seo rules work correctly. Now I copied this site to new domain (1:1 copy along with the customization code in functions.php) and seo rules are not working. This is a website: https://careerup-strategies.com/c/resume-templates/style-best/. Could you please have a look why these seo rules are not working on this copied site?
Hello effa54
It looks like your site is closed from indexing at all. In tnis case SEO Rules do not work.
right, thanks!
I’m glad that the problem was solved 
Hello there.
I’m using the filter on a car rental website, but I haven’t found a way of adding an availability filter. Basically, what I would need is a way of adding a range with 2 datepickers and sort the products available in that range. From reading trough the comments here, I understood that it’s work in progress. This availability feature it’s a must have on a rental website, my client insist on it too, I can try to extend my deadline a bit, but before I do that I need to know:
Can you give a realistic date estimation for when it will be available?
Thank you.
Hello Ovidiu
I think this will be finished in March 2023, not faster. Unfortunately there are more urgent features that should be implemented first.
hi in the change log 1.7.2 your added “Dev – Added Color Swatches support and improved Brand logo support” is there some documentation for it?
what i see on your website is that there are colors and even images in every view (exept range) possible.
Hello eaonflux
Please see the documentation about Color swatches here – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/brands-and-color-swatches/
Hello, i upgraded from free version to pro and the filter set i had before stopped displaying. That was the first problem, but it got solved by recreating the filter set. Now filters are displayed but can’t use them, i am getting 404 page if ajax is deactivated and 404 error in console when ajax active. I am sure it has to something with the urls.
I noticed that when i click for example a product category filter it tries to load the path product-category/mallia/category-ladia-malliwn/ but the correct category is product-category/mallia/ladia-malliwn/ It adds the category- part before the actual name of the category.
I don’t use any permalinks plugin, i updated the permalinks by saving them.
I added define( ‘FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED’, false ); to functions.php and everything works but now i don’t get a custom url, just the classic ?category=ladia-malliwn format.
Hello ecognito
Please, try to check if you have any Filter Sets in Trash and remove them. After try to open Filters -> Settings -> URL prefixes and just Save settings. Let me know if it was helpful.
Also I do not recommend to use URL prefixes that matches to native WordPress enetities. It means better to use “fcategory” instead of “category”.
Please, let me know if it was helpful for you.
Hello Stepasyuk
I’m currently testing FE Pro in both Elementor Archives template and WP single page, but I’m having trouble with pagination.
Both archives and single page use Elementor Posts widget for custom query with custom loop (Ele Skin) of custom post types – I need to use Posts widget instead of Archive Posts widget because of another third party plugin/ bug issue where blog posts must be set to 999 in WP Settings until they fix that bug.
I was getting 404 Error on pagination with Archives page – so I changed Permalinks from custom structure to post name, and that seems to work.
However, when I start filtering posts and click Page #2 in pagination, problem with pagination still appears on single WP page after I continue filtering more terms.
The Page # does NOT appear at end of filter term values (as in: ”/page-name/filter-value-1/filter-value-2/2/“), but instead MOVES it directly after page name (as in: ”/page-name/2/filter-value-1/filter-value-2/”).
It appears to change pagination/ page # to higher priority in URL vs filter term values.
Also “Reset All” in chips does not return to Page #1 of pagination, but remains on current Page #2 – which is an issue because it is filtering only current Page #2 results, and not all posts in query. So it shows 1 place found, but no results are actually displaying because stuck on Page #2.
Ideally, I would like it to work as in FE Demos https://demo.filtereverything.pro/elementor/, under Blog Posts section > select Category e.g., Business > select Page #2 in pagination > select Genre: e.g., Epos (and it returns to Page #1 of results with these filter terms selected)
I am sending you specific page URLs and details via PM as these are private pages.
I’m not sure if this is a bug for FE plugin on single pages, or potential issue with Elementor. I understand ideally archive page is the way to go for site structure, but I would like to know this works correctly on single pages if needed (and for private demo to clients on live site).
Please advise.
Looks like the priority for page# now works properly (after recent updates)... mysteriously resolved itself!
However, it is not filtering terms out properly, and appears to show duplicate/ repeating posts as I scroll through pagination results.
Filtering out terms appears to have resolved after I changed CSS container ID for one of filter sets (resembled page URL).
Now I just have repeating posts as I scroll through pagination, but this only appears when Elementor Posts widget order by is set to menu order or random. Order by Date or Title do not appear affected. I also have pagination set to Numbers + Prev/ Next.
Is this a known conflict for results showing repeating posts with pagination based on order by settings in Elementor? Perhaps this is more related to Elementor, where it just defaults back to menu order or random per page of pagination (so repeating likely to happen?).
Hello mywebdesigns
Thank you for using the plugin.
I’m glad that your problem was finally solved. I’m not sure if I understood you correctly about repeating posts after scrolling them, but if you use features like “Load more” or “Infinite scroll” not all of them are compatible with filter page URLs. And usually it requires to test several scroling plugins to find working solution.
Hi. Situation: I have custom attribute Brand. There are 12 products with keyword A in name/title, and with value B in Brand attribute. When I do store-wide search for “A”, all 12 are shown on shop/archive page, but the filter for Brand shows “B (9)”—only 9 products. Expected would be “B (12)”.
Hi mmmmsk
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
There could be a list of possible reasons. Maybe you have some B products that are hidden from catalog. Or maybe some of them have another value than you expect. The best way to check this is to install Query Monitor plugin and check the filtered SQL query. It contains phrase/* Current SQL Query is filtered by Filter Everything plugin */and can be easily found by this text directly in browser. And if the SQL query selets all 12 products, but you see only 9 it means that the template code that displays products hides 3 of them. If the SQL query selects only 9 products from DB it means you have to check Brand values of these 3 products in DB.
Hi,
There is a bug i have found in 1.7.2 for dropdowns on front end filter.
In 1.7.1 fine but in 1.7.2 dropdowns dont populate and im getting error code Notice: Undefined variable: data_default
Hi loaddesign
Thank you for your report. I will fix this in next 24 hours. Optionally you can add in yourwp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/views/frontend/dropdown.php file this code string:
$data_default = '';somewhere in first lines of its code.
Hello. I recently bought your plugin and ran into a problem. On December 30, I wrote to you in private messages, but still have not received a response. So I will describe my problem here. The problem is that SEO rules do not work, although indexing is enabled on the Indexed Filters tab and SEO rules are configured. Product filtering and SEO URLs work. I read the documentation, but there is nothing on my problem. I updated the plugin to the latest version 1.7.2, but it didn’t work. I would be very happy if you could help me solve this problem. My purchase code is 524adaf3-1b98-4b46-8d3e-0ada491b93ca

About license key – please, note that License key and CodeCanyon purchase code are different things. To set License key, please go to Filters -> Settings -> License, click on the “Get your License Key” https://prnt.sc/-ehm9df3H_XT and you will be redirected to the new page. Log in there with your Envato credentials and you will see your License key for the Filter Everything PRO plugin.
Unfortunately I can not check site in .ru domain because of russian goverment restrictions and this site is not available for me https://prnt.sc/b1vS-2CArM0- But from the URL and from SEO Rule config screenshot I see that you configured it fo 3 selected fitlers, but you tried to open only 1 filter. To check if the Rule works, you have to open page with 3 selected filters as they are present in the SEO Rule. For 2 simultaneously and 1 selected filters you have to configure two different SEO Rules with 2 and 1 filters in them accordingly.
Thank you for your reply, now I think I understand. It was a bit confusing for me. I thought that I need to create one general rule for several attributes and that’s it. Thank you for your support and high-quality product. I wish you further success and more sales.

I’m glad that your problem is already solved

Hi is filtering using acf date field supported ?
Hi battarov
Thank you for your Interest in Filter Everything PRO plugin.
For the moment filtering by date is not available in the plugin, but it will be added in the future updates.
Hi. Is the free version is compatible with WPML ? When I excludes some products category in the native language, it doesn’t apply to other category in other languages of the site. How to exclude products categories (the same) of a filter in different languages ? Thank you.
Hi jaldeguer
Yes, sure. My plugin is compatible with WPML. But here is support of the PRO version. Please, write your questions related with Free version on the WordPress.org forum – https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/filter-everything/
Or if you use PRO, please write your question from the account, where you purchased it.
Thank you. Andrii Stepasiuk.

Hi, where can i send you details, so you can check my page? updated filter everything pro today, and still the same, when i enable filter pop up it just dissapears…
Hi joamedia
Please, send me link to the page with the problem via PM. It will be available if you click on my username here. Usually such behaviour is evidence that you put your Filters widget in the container that becomes hidden on mobile devices. You have to make it visible on mobile or to put Filters in another container.
My request: Hello. I can’t make a filter for sale items. I use _sale_price and Custom Field Exists 1. Variable products with a sale price are not displayed, even if you check the “Use for Variations” checkbox 2. This mechanism does not take into account sale dates, but only the presence of a sale price itself.
Hello yurkovivan
Provide me please with link to your site. You can optionally send it via PM.
Thank you.
Hello, this is a pre-sale question, i’m using the free version and want support for stock status (in stock) AND variations (for example size). I’ve read in wordpress support page that this is possible but I don’t see it as a demo on the preview page. How can this be done?
Hello 12Roll
Thank you for your interest in Filter Everything PRO.
You can create filter by Stock Status as it described on this demo page – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/example/by-stock/
And to filter by variation attributes you have to enable checkbox “Use for Variations” in your Size filter (or any other filter by WooCommerce attribute).
In other words all these are possible in PRO version.
Hello Stepasyuk,
Wow thanks for a speedy response.
In the mentioned demo page, when checking “In stock” this product: https://demo.filtereverything.pro/product/dress-calvin-klein-k20k201282/ shows up but is out of stock (unavailable). Can you please check this on your side?
12Roll
This product is specific. I set it as Variable product, but didn’t create any variation. It seems that’s why WooCommerce marked it as unavailable on its own singular page – https://prnt.sc/PEQ6Wzo3YvXn because no one variation is available. But from the DB data point of view it has “instock” value – https://prnt.sc/VCi2KsZn4yop So filter recognizes it as “In stock” correctly.
Thank you for the explanation. I have one more request.
I would like to show category heading and description texts when category is selected in the filter (as in default woocommerce filter) is this possible somehow? In default woocommerce filter category is a separate archive page.
Thank you.
12Roll
Yes, sure. You can setup SEO Rule for your Product Category filter and when this filter will be selected desired H1 and Description will be shown. They can be default Product Category Title and Description or any other texts you need. It is possible in other words.
Thanks a ton!
In this regard, i’m thinking about a possible scenario, how are the permalinks handled? we use domain.com/category/category_name/ permalinks but shop page is located at domain.com/e-shop. What happens if someone visits from google indexed links?
Same scenario applies to product category hierarchy navigation links (domain.com/category/parent-category/sub-category/..)
Can this be adjusted or redirected?
Hello 12Roll
I’m not sure I understood your question correctly.
When user opens filtering results page and if it has SEO Rule (otherwise it can not be present in the Google search) besides filtered products (or posts) he will wee H1, title, description and text you specified in the SEO Rule for this page. Permalinks structure will be the same as is on your site + filter slugs in URL. For example like here – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/product-category/electronics/smartphones/color-blue/brand-apple/
Hello Stepasyuk, sorry I will explain:
I want to know what happens when user visits from old permalinks in google search that point to for example domain.com/product-category/shirts/ but in filter everything the url for that same category “page” will be domain.com/shop/category-shirts. How can I avoid 404 links in such cases? Thanks.
Hello 12Roll
There will not be any 404 links. Pages domain.com/product-category/shirts/ and domain.com/shop/category-shirts/ will exist as two different independent pages.
But the second page with filter will never get into Google if you will not create SEO Rule for this page. By default all such filtered pages have noindex value for their robots meta tag.
Hello Stepasyuk, thank you! I hope I’m not bothering you much with all my questions but I need to be sure if the features we need are supported before switching our projects to this plugin.
- can i translate or/and keywords in the pretty urls?
- can i only show h1 and description texts (for customer’s sake) without generating seo meta tags?
Hello 12Roll
- Unfortunately no – “or” “and” keywords will remain always the same
- Yes, it is possible, but requires small coding – to remove hook that generates meta tags. I can provide you with such code in terms of providing support.
Is there no way to add an option to settings to customize them? now or in the future? it looks very weird when all filter names are in the site’s primary language (non english) but these keywords are in english 
Technically I can change this in future plugin updates, but it is not so urgent feature (as other features) and I think this will not happen very soon.
As for me I don’t like URLs with non-latin characters as they potentially could cause many problems in the code and also contain some risks for SEO.
It would be amazing if that was possible as an option, do you offer custom paid development in case we wanted to speed it up?
Of course, i mean it would have to be only latin chars to be url safe, in my language its very simple and would look great to the customer and in indexed urls, for example:
and = a
or = alebo
/tshirts-and-hoodies
/tricka-a-mikiny

Hi, we’re a pro client and we have 1 question and 1 issue
1. (issue): this is a category page in our mktplace: https://www.atlantikos.com.br/categoria-produto/alimentos/
The ordering stopped working. So the client cant order by price.
2. (question);
In the ordering dropdown, can we have an option to order products by sale? So products on sale would appear first.
Hi raphaelschaffer
1. It seems you have some problems with GET parameters in URL because not only price sorting option does not work. The price filter also does not work. It should open page with URL https://www.atlantikos.com.br/categoria-produto/alimentos/?max_precos=5 but it opens page without GET paramter – https://www.atlantikos.com.br/categoria-produto/alimentos/ It looks like some problems or conflict in your JavaScript code. Maybe it is conflict with some of your plugins or custom JavaScript code. Please, check it.
2. You can create sorting option with meta key ‘_sale_price’ and it will sort products by Sale price. But if products without Sale price have its value as empty they should be sorted in the end of products list. I recommend you to experiment with such sorting value, maybe you will find desired solution for you.
Hey, and thanks for a wonderful plugin, I have a particular need which I don’t find the way to achive it, also via the hooks ( i would love to have more hooks – the more the better ;- )
the issue is that; while using in search and archives there is no problem at all, but i am trying that also when going into the single post, the right bar will still show the filters, and ‘adjust the link’ to take them back to the archive with the current filter the user adjusted.
so the experience for the user, is that also in single product/post_type the filters will be showing, and the user instead of clicking ‘back’ on the browser he can still access all the filters.
right now when i am setting the Where to filter? to a post_type, i must specify a post (which i cannot do that to all my thousands of posts – create so many filter sets )
and when it shows the filter on the specific single post_type selected, do I have any way to adjust the basepath – to be the archive url and not the single_post – I couldn’t find any easy hook to do that.
as far as i got is that:
add_filter( ‘wpc_filter_term_url’, function( $url ) { $post_id = is_single() ? get_the_ID() : false; if ( $post_id ) { $url = str_replace( get_permalink( $post_id ), get_post_type_archive_link( get_post_type( $post_id ) ), $url ); } return( $url ); }, 50 );
but since it load in ajax, i would like to try and override and refresh screen with the url, instead of refreshing ajax – is there anything that you can direct me
thanks in advance, and happy new year!
I managed one more step with this:
add_filter( ‘wpc_get_option’, function( $value, $key ) { if ( is_single() && $key == ‘enable_ajax’ ) return( ‘off’ ); return( $value ); }, 50, 2 );
i will be only missing the way to Where to filter? – on all post_types and not only on a specific one.
Hello ikd
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
I’m glad to meet developer here
If I understood you correctly you need to make the Filter Set available on list of singular pages for specific post type. For this purpose you can use the hook ‘wpc_relevant_set_ids’ that allows you to specify what exactly Filter Set ID should be determined as Filter Set for current opened page. This should help you to solve your task. Please, let me know about the result.
