I have a vehicle auction website that has 2 post types:

Vehicles (woo product) Classified Vehicles (created by WPAdverts)

They both require extensive filtering and have 10 custom taxonomies that are shared between the 2 post types. They each have an archive page with their own filter set. Everything has been working fine but if i go to make any changes to either filter set, I receive this error message:

Error: this prefix is not allowed because it matches a taxonomy or term name already in use on your site. Please use a different prefix.

I read this in the documentation:

All filters with the same “Filter by” value must have the same values “Prefix for URL”

Is this error i am receiving a bug, or am i misunderstanding the URL Prefix?

Ok, try please to change the term with slug “county” first. After to change URL prefix to another word, then to return slug “county” for the term. This should help you.

It doesn’t allow me to do that. The filter gets deactivated completely if the term slug changes

Hmmm, it is very strange. Filter Everything cannot prevent you from editing a taxonomy term. You always can change it. Please, edit Taxonomy Term first, you can optionally deactivate Filter Everything PRO before that, but do not forget to create a DB backup first.

After you will change your taxonomy term, you have to activate FIlter Everything PRO again and re-save your prefixes in Filters -> Settings -> URL Prefixes. Please, pay attention if you have Filter Sets in Trash I recommend you to delete them all.

Hello, There’s still an unknown error when I try to register the plugin Now it’s locked and I can’t make changes anymore It’s impossible to give you the credentials to /wp-admin

What are the other solutions ? please

I use wordfence, maybe it’s a rule in the firewall ?

Hello, the licence is not activated on an other site, The error is not due to wordfence ( I tried ‘Learning Mode’ and it’s still getting an error ) Can you give me the instructions in MP to activate the licence, please ?

Hello.

The common advice regarding with activation of the license I give all my customers is next:

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.

I’m not sure it is your case, but check please whether you tried to activate correct license key instead of CodeCanyon item purchase code.

Hello, i have a pre-purchase question about product categories filter.

Is there an option to set “dynamically” the categories? For example i want the category Woman to display the sub categories of woman or I have to create a filter for each category and displayed it, in the right page?

Also, is there an admin environment that i can test my scenarios before purchasing the plugin?

I hope I’ve made myself clear, Olga

Hello Olga.

Thank you for your interest in Filter Everything PRO.

If you create the filter by Product Category and place it on all your Shop pages its behaviour will be next: - when you open your main Shop page you will see all possible Product Categories in the filter. You can hide empty Categories, you can enable hierarchy and all parent categoreis will have toggler ”+” allowed you to open them. Parent categories optionally can be opened or closed by default. - when you open any Category page you will see this Category selected automatically in the filter. If this Category has children it will be opened by default and children are visible like here in this example for blog posts – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/category/health/

Optionally you always can create individual Filters for every Category instead of single common Filters widget. In this case you can fine-tune filters for each Category as for example Dresses would be better to filter by one group of filters, but Shoes by another as they have different properties.

Hi Andrii, it seems there is some kind of a bug in the filter, because it doesn’t filter items on nested custom taxonomy archive pages for custom post types.

I mean I have registered a custom post type and a nested custom taxonomy for it. So the filter works okay on the custom post archive page itself, but it doesn’t work on this nested custom taxonomy archive page for this post type. It just doesn’t filter anything.

Do you know why is this? Is it a bug in your plugin?

Thank you

Yeah, I want to add, I’ve tried turning off AJAX and it’s the same.

Hi isdigital

It seems something was configured wrong or so. I would be glad to help you as part of support here on CodeCanyon, but you have to update your support period, which is already expired.

Please, let me know if you need my help.

Thank you. Regards.

Hi is there a way when you do a filter sort to display the items in a particular order e.g. so they display in ordered rows to show first, second, third etc as at the moment they are just display randomly. Thanks

https://dev.southportphotographic.co.uk/gallery-page/

Hi mack32uk

Do you mean to sort filter terms or sort filtered posts? I think you mean terms. In this case just open desired filter, click More options and find there “Sort Terms by” option and specify desired order. From our previous conversations it is obviously that you know that Filter Everything contains own Sorting widget.

Hi thanks but no. If a user goes to the page BEFORE they do any filtering the page should display the competition winners in rows of First, Second, Third etc. I have done an ACF field with called ‘results’ with First, Second etc in. If you look at the moment they served randomly. The question is can they be display by default in the order they have won the competition or is this something needed to be done in the SQL database? Thanks again.

Hi mack32uk

In general it does not related with the Filter Everything plugin. But you have to modify the WP_Query that handles your posts and to add there sorting parameter by the key you need. You can read here more about this – https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#order-orderby-parameters Please, check it out.

Hello, I’m a pro user and am have an issue with the sorting links.

When I use a filter, the link it goes to has the category removed as the link no matter the filter. So if I was in a category and clicked a filter it would have the filter text in the url but give a 404 error. If I place the category where it should be inside the url it works as expected. Also noting that when the chips are clicked to reset it also has the category removed and errors out.

Here is the link it gives me when clicking on a filter (any): https://rhtest.xyz/product-category/?fapplication=pneumatic-safety-systems-up-to-category-4-performance-level-e If I include the category in the right place it works https://rhtest.xyz/product-category/43000/?fapplication=pneumatic-safety-systems-up-to-category-4-performance-level-e

I’ve reset the filter with ?reset_filters_cache=true and am using the filter to use the older style of links in case of conflicts. Also Is there anything else I can try?

Funnily enough this was working as expected earlier today with different filters. I needed to change the structure and now it doesn’t want to sort properly. I’ve started from scratch (deleted plugin and reinstalled) so there is only fresh prefix information.

Thank you.

An update. I used an older version of the pro plugin files and it works as expected. Specifically I’m using 1.7.1 in case it helps. To be fair, it was working correctly under the latest version 1.7.3 but I removed all the older filters that were in place during the time of the upgrade. I suspect something is not quite right on my end of the configuration but the plugin is working as expected currently.

Hello dinoq1

Sorry for the late response. It seems now it works as expected and I checked changelog from the latest versions and there were no any changes related with categories or current opened taxonomy terms. Maybe it was some glitch related with your current site configuration. Let me know if this will repeat again.

sorry for the stupid question, where and how do I find the plug-in key?

Where do i find Filter—-Settings!? I can not find those, and why it is so difficult! And not user friendly

I still can not find the KEY !!!! This is VERY FRUTRUATING and takes too much time ! What filter settings I need to find and where!!!? I need a video or screenshot of every step! As the settings I find have no filter or anything you have mentioned! Can you just issue me the key I have paid for

Hello civilsurveyinginstitute

I’m sorry, I thought it will be obviosly – in the /wp-admin of your site you can find item menu Filters, open it and find sub-item Settings, open it and find the tab License.

Unfortunately I do not know your license key as it can be only generated with your CodeCanyon account in your browser. I hope this will help you to solve the issue.

Why do I get this error? “Error: Set was not saved.” I could not save the filters and wasted 15 minutes without no reason, one filter was added, there must be a bug

Hello fringuello85

Try please to open Console in Chrome and check if there are no JavaScript errors. Or maybe there is conflict with some of your other plugins. You can check this if you deactivate suspicous plugins one by one.

Hi! I have problem with SEO Rules. They work great in Ukrainian and English version, but in Russian they works with bugs. For example, https://pietra.com.ua/shop/cat/barbekju/kamn-mramor/ – here everything works. but here https://pietra.com.ua/shop/cat/barbekju/kamn-granit/ – nothing happens (title, h1, description, texts after products loop – nothing)

I red this manual carefully and tried to set up SEO Rule step by step – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/seo-rules/#create-seo-rule It doesnt help. I created subdomain and can send you credentials. Please, write me your email for that/

SEO rules for both pages has been created in one time. but only one working properly. I tried to delete and recreate the rule. I tried to disable other plugins. I updated them. It doesn’t help

Hi pietracomua

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

Thank you.

Hello. When opening the Pop-up Filter widget on mobile the page scrolls all the way to the top and I want it to stay in the place where the button was clicked. Any possible solution?

Regards

Hello

This happens because of next CSS properties:
@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
.wpc-overlay-visible body, html.wpc-overlay-visible {
    overflow: hidden!important;
}
}
This CSS avoids scrolling of a page, when Filters Pop-up is visible. You can override it in Filters -> Settings -> Experimental -> Custom CSS
@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
.screen-xxs.wpc-overlay-visible body, html.wpc-overlay-visible.screen-xxs {
    overflow: visible!important;
}
}

It would be much reliable to add some id to the HTML tag and set CSS rule with it.

Hi, I need to filter woocommerce products by attribute which I have done via the taxonomy numeric filter. It doesnt filter to decimal point however and I have read somewhere that since the 1.70 update I should be able to filter to the nearest decimal point rather than the whole number. Is this possible at all?

Hi jamesbevan80

Indeed, try please to update the plugin to the latest version 1.7.3 and check if it works as you expected. You can download the latest version here on CodeCanyon and update it via Plugins -> Add New -> Upload zip -> Replace current with new one.

Hi, we have noticed a problem when using the price filter with the range display. It seems that the filter does not narrow the results. Instead, they work combined with the standard woocommerce search (?s=) in this case the parameter is correctly added (?max_price || min_price) otherwise ignored

Hi DeltaMarket

Usually such problem can be conflict with native WooCommerce price filter. Try please to change var name from “price” to another. For example “fprice” or something like that. Also as option, try please to test it with another WP_Queries in the “And what to filter?” field.

Hi Stepasyuk, now it works. Thank you

Just using your plugin with Bricks Builder, took some playing around but it seems to be working great as filters on the search results template. I’m having some issues with pagination on the cpt archive page, not totally sure the issue there, will have to play around more and see. But overall, wanted to say I’m pretty happy with how it works so far.

The other issue I’m having, which I read about in the comments but didn’t quite understand until I started trying it, category archive pages. It looks like I need to create a separate filter set for each category term archive, something about being different queries on each archive page even though they are the same template in bricks. I had two questions related to this, any possibility of adding a duplicate filter set button somewhere so we could create additional sets quicker? As well, if you could look into an integration or an add on integration with Bricks Builder would be awesome. I’m sure more than a few Bricks users would go to your filters if there was an integration available.

Thanks so much for your creation, keep up the great work. For reference, this is the site, https://www.staging.srusigns.ca/

Hi SRUKen.

I’m glad to inform you that I already fixed issue with Filter Set for common categories pages and Bricks Builder. Now the plugin works with Bricks Builder as with any other page builder.

If you need this update, please let me know here and I will send you direct link to the intermediate plugin version, that contains this fix.

If you can would be amazing please.

Hi SRUKen.

Sure, I’ve alrady sent you link.

Best regards.

Hi, I’ve purchased the plugin.

I need help please.

Can a range filter have multiple values on the custom field. What I’ve done is I created a custom text field, and I put numbers on the field because I want to filter numbers. But for my product it has multiple numbers on one product. For example – I have put 2, 3, 5, 9 on the custom field and I want the range filter to filter those numbers. Is that possible? I.e. show products which contain any of those numbers.

Hi saxtet

Thank you for purchasing the plugin.

Technically it could be possible if you are able to write such WP_Query that selects posts with values you need. The hook ‘wpc_filtered_query_end’ will be useful for that.
do_action( 'wpc_filtered_query_end', $wp_query );

But of course it requires some skills in PHP and WordPress or you have ask a developer to help you with this.

Hi!

I finally found a product filter that has a good effect on SEO. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for, I’m going to love installing it on all my clients and my own websites and doing long tail SEO that I couldn’t do until now. Thanks!

I just have one question. Currently, links to non-indexable facets are in “a href”, not ajax or obfuscated, so there is an unnecessary loss of juice. Is obfuscation of links to filters that are not indexable planned or possible? Ideally, it would be an obfuscation like this only for non-indexable facets:

<button onclick="location.href='<https://www.domain.com/product-category/clothing/women/color-black/size-3xl/>'">3XL</button>

Thanks for your time!

Pierre

Hi,

Thank you for your response.

1. For my request concerning SEA, the idea is that some facets with specific Title/H1/content are indexable (for SEO and SEA) and others not (for SEA only). So we should be able to determine in BO which one is indexable or not. Can you do this development and if so, at what price?

2. Ok perfect

3. Regarding my request for obfuscation via <button onclick>. Can you do this development and if so, at what price?

Thanks

Pierre

Hi pierrem80.

Regarding SEA and obfuscation – unfortunately I have no time for such coding service now. But if you will hire a developer for example on Upwork you can achieve you goal with SEA. I think he (she) will need at least 2-3 hours to understand how thing work and to make changes.

Links obfuscation requires a lot of time so I think it would be better to waint, when I will implement this myself.

Hello, Thanks for your reply!

Hello,

I have a few questions.

1. How can I add filter panel to my site horizontally? Is there a shortcode for that? 2. How do I collapse widget and show the filters opening button on the desktop? 3. How can I add a “show more” button when there are too many filters? like here: Big lamp store (6K products)

Thanks! It was horizontal but in the sidebar

1. How can I get this into the “shop-container” class? 2. Also how can i show the filters opening button in “shop-container” on desktop? 3. View more button shows 5 categories by default. Can I do this less? 4. Is there a shortcode to use the filter in the area I want? Example: [filter_products]

Hi tozbey

1. You can use shortcode [fe_widget] to insert Filters widget anywhere on your site. Here is more info about the shortcode – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/

2. Filters opening button can be inserted also as shortcode [fe_open_button] On the same page there is info about it – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/#open-button

3. You can change count of filter terms visible by default under “Show more” link by the hook ‘wpc_more_less_count’ If you know what are hooks in code this example allows you to understand how to work with it:
function flrt_more_less_count() {
    return apply_filters( 'wpc_more_less_count', 5 );
}

4. The answer is in the item 1 :-)

I hope all these will help you to achieve your goal.

Hi Stepasyuk,

I haven’t been able to use the SEO rules feature since I purchased it. I made all the settings but SEO title and description never change. I went through all your documentation and watched your YT video but it’s not working. Isn’t there a simple way to do this? I hope you can help!

SEO Rule screen: https://nimb.ws/7zqWub Indexed Filters screen: https://nimb.ws/d5lrTH Indexing Depth screen: https://nimb.ws/K6Q5du

I made it indexable for Search Engines.

hi hope you answer the following questions 1- how to get fitler set ID , i need to use it with shortcode . 2- can i display two different filters in the same page ? if yes please let me know how , 3- can i show advance options within my filter set ? i mean if i have filter set contains 10 fields , i need to display only two along with advance options button when someone click on it , will display the rest .

thanks

Hi HANA21518

1. To get Filter Set ID, please open it in editing mode and look on the URL of that page. It will look like this /wp-admin/post.php?post=419&action=edit where post=419 contains Filter Set ID and its value is 419

2. If you mean two Filter Sets – you have to point both of them on the same page (or pages) and place there two Filters widgets.
If you mean to show two filters by the same criterion, you have to create two Filter Sets and to place desired filter in both of them. You can not use the same filter twice or more in one Filter Set, it is technical restriction.

3. I think you can do it, but it requires additional coding to hide part of filters, to create toggle link and to show them after clicking on this toggle. You have to be familiar with PHP and JS to make such changes or ask a developer to help you. In this case I recommend you to use the Template Overriding feature which can be helpful in this.

Hello, I have purchased the pro version and will need a license key to update my filter settings. I am currently working on a staging site, when I get the license, will I be able to switch that url when the site goes live at a later date and on a different domain?

Hello dinoq1

Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.

One license key allows you to use plugin on two websits – on end-product website and on its development copy. So you may not worry, just enter the key on your production site.

Export/Import  We need to move our filters from test to production. Is there a way to do this please or do we need to recreate them all?

Hi mitic001

Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.

For the moment such feature is planned but not developed yet. It can take months of time, when it will be ready, but I will notify you here in this comments thread when it will be ready.

Using filters with Infinite scroll doesnt work. URL is thegifthut.co.uk. Any advice on how to resolve this?

Thanks Stepas, I am using infinite scroll built into the theme – are you able to debug at all and /or guide me through setup if at all possible? And suggest potential steps to resolve filtering?

FYI – This occurs with pagination as well and appears to be a wp_query error.

Hello Designr_company

Unfortunately compatibility with 3rd partry software is not included in the CodeCanyon item support. It is something that should be resolved by a customer himself. I can only help you if there is compatibility issues with WordPress in general or with bugs in the plugin.

Optionally you always can find a developer for example on Upwork to help you with such issues.

Thank you. Regards.
