Hello we asked this question last year and wanted to recap this from about 2 months ago.

If you will purchase PRO I will provide you with code example how to add images for the terms.

Also how can I export items to then import back in? Used for backups and such, thank you very much, we are working our way through options now to see how this filtering can work for our needs, it’s honestly the best we could find to date, yet not a bloated mess like many are becoming today.

Less is always more :)

Hello ingenuitor

I have good news for you. From that moment I have already added full support of images and color swatches for filter terms. You can read more about them here – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/brands-and-color-swatches/

Thank you for you warm words about the plugin. I would be thankful to read them in reviews for the plugin here on CodeCanyon – https://codecanyon.net/item/filter-everything-wordpress-woocommerce-filter/reviews/31634508 :-)

Thank you in advance!

Thank you and how can I export / import filters / settings back in? Used for backups / staging and such, thanks.

Hello ingenuitor.

Unfortunately the export/import feature for the moment is not developed for the plugin because there are more urgent features that should be done before. But I already have this task in my development schedule and will add it in future plugin updates.

Hello! Pre-sale question: I have a job site using WP User Frontend Forms Pro, and Filter Everything (free).

WPUF uses URL parameters for registration/subscription links, and it seems to be clashing with FIlter Everything, even though the parameter slugs are different. It just shoes 404 pages whenever I try to visit a non-search page with URL parameters – I see that Filter Everything Pro lets you choose the pages it shows up on, so would getting Pro solve this issue?

It also gives a 404 error with any standard page with a similar page slug. For example, I have a filter parameter called “salary”, and a page with the slug “salary-transparency” – it won’t load! When I remove “salary” from the slug, it works fine

Hello bojomedia

Please, provide me with links to the pages with this problem. You can optionally send them via PM. For the moment I can’t say if this problem can be solved with Filter Everythig PRO.

Thank you.

PRESALE:

Hi,

I checked free version and would like to go with PRO version, I would like to know if your plugin supports filters for wordpress admin? We would like to add filter to ALL PRODUCTS page on woocommerce. Can please suggest if this is possible with hooks.

Hi csoftech

Thank you for your interest in Filter Everything PRO.

I’m not sure what you mean “filters for admin”. If you need filters in the WordPress dashboard (admin panel) my plugin does not allow you to filter inside dashboard. Only in frontend.

About all WooCoomerce pages – yes, it works on any page – Shop, Product Category, Product Tag, Taxonomy archive, date, author archive etc. On singular pages it also works, but you have to create individual Filter Sets for every singular page.

Hello! Is it possible to show in dropdown filter only options which have values in them?

Hello inbox23

Yes, sure. Just set the option “Empty terms” -> “Always hide” in your Filter Set.

Hello! How to remove stock text which comes with Dropdown filter? (- Select %S -)? I want it to be empty.

Hello inbox23

Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.

You have several ways to change the string - Select %s - to your own:
1) To translate it with the Loco translate plugin or other software if you use not-English language on your site.
2) To use template overriding feature https://filtereverything.pro/resources/templates-overriding/ to override the dropdown.php template and replace the string.
3) To use hook ‘wpc_dropdown_default_option‘ if you are familiar with PHP development.

Hello! How to remove “Edit Filter Set” announcment under the filter which could be seen through ADMIN view?

Hello inbox23

It seems you know that it is visible for logged in administrators only. But if you need you can hide it with simple CSS:
.wpc-edit-filter-set{
    display: none;
}

You can add it in Filters -> Settings -> Experimental -> Custom CSS.

Two different filter sets for two different page sections but for the same custom field don’t work independently – https://study.ptc.edu.au/units. (Ajax is disabled.) Also, filters don’t work if I set a page as the home page.

Hello jaredhood

Thank you for using FIlter Everything PRO.

I have to say that two Filters by the same custom field on the same page can not work independently. Both of them use the same filter slug and URLs with their filter parameters looks identically. So if you open page with URL that contains filter slug for this custom field, both filters in both Filter Sets will be affected. It is expected behaviour.

If you want to use filters on your Homepage, please try to set different options in the “Where to filter?” field:
1. “Common WordPress pages” -> “Homepage”
2. “Pages” -> “Your home page name”

One of them should work for you.

Please help! The filter isn’t showing up on the single product page. I followed the procedures in the documentation to no resolve.

Hello jahbiz777

Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.

It seems you did not configure your Filter Set correclty. If you use “Apply button” mode I recommend you to configure Filter Set without it first and to check if filters appear on the page. Also you have to insert Filters widget in the widget area that appears on your single pages.

Please, let me know if it was helpful for you.

same issue. im running the following wordpress, woocommerce, wcfm… the filter works everywhere excepts for the single product page. i dont know if youre familiar with my setup, ...Can you test it and your side if possible and help me to resolve ASAP

Hello jahbiz777

Please, send me credentials to your /wp-admin in accordance with this document I will check it myself.

Thank you.

Hello, we have included “Product Categories” as a filter but they are not adjusting for each sub-category we click in to. They are always top level showing all categories. All of the other filters in the same set are adaptive in that options are hidden if theyre not added to products you are viewing.

Hello AP4571

Thank you for purchasing the plugin.

Plese, provide me with link to the page with such example. And also screenshot with short explanation would be great. Optionally you can send it via PM, but let me know here in comments about this.

Thank you.

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 your wp-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

Hello rijkov99

Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO and greetings to Moldova.

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.
