Hi Stepasyuk, me again. So I have now bought support and having this strange issue. The filtering for search result archive pages has stopped working completely. The sidebar shows only empty filters, also the sorting does not work. The filtering does work correctly everywhere else. I’m 100% sure it has worked in the past. I suspect this is happening since the new 1.74 / 1.75 update.
I have tried several ‘Where to filter settings’, but the one that was working was just common wordpress pages and all archive pages for this post type.
Do you maybe have the old file so that I can check? So far I have tried removing all custom templates, reverting back to stock parent theme, revert parent theme to previous version and disabled plugins. Nothing works, I really feel this is in the plugin.
Hi DannyvanderTak
I have sent you link to the previous version 1.7.4 Please, install it and let me know if the problem was solved. I suspect one code part in 1.7.5 that may be reason of the problem.
Thank you.
Hi, problem still occurs. Update 1.73 maybe? Can you reproduce the issue?
Hi DannyvanderTak
Please, send me credentials to your /wp-admin in accordance with this document I will check it myself.
Thank you.
Hi, thanks is done
I also noticed the sorting does not work anymore, it does not append the right url parameter, it now is ?undfefined. In console you get: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()
Hi DannyvanderTak
Thank you for the credentials.
I checked your site and realized that you use some improved search on your WordPress site and this is the reason, why filtering of the search results does not work. Filtering of the search results is compatible with native WordPress search that uses ?s=keyword parameter in URL. You search now uses permalinks and it seems it generates conflicts between my plugin and that search plugin.
In this case I can only to add plugins:
- FiboSearch – AJAX Search for WooCommerce (Pro)
- Product Search Category Redirect
in my inner queue to check them for compatibility with Filter Everything plugin. But the results will require some time.
Hi, thank you so much for checking. I reverted the search plugin to a previous version and now it does work again. So that is solved. However the ajax sorting still does not work on all pages, even with those 2 plugins disabled. I get a bunch of console errors `Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 () ` Do you know why that is?
I cheered too soon. It now does find terms but filtering indeed does not work. However I have both problems even with 2 plugins disabled. Are you sure its those plugins? Normal url’s with ?s= also do not work
Oke, so after a lot of debugging the sorting issue is because of a filter template change (my bad) and the not filtering was due to cache (browser and server). Everything works again as expected. I do have one last request regarding this issue, I’m sure that your plugin has worked with the search plugin in the past. Could you please provide met with filtereverything 1.7 & filteverything 1.7.1? Then I can check if this is true. Thanks again
Sorry again, there was another error in chips.php. Turns out your plugin is already compatible with the search plugin. Maybe good for you to know
. Sending the old versions is no longer necessary. Maybe you could add the edited templates to changelog?
Hi DannyvanderTak
It’s a good advice to note in changelog about changed view templates. I will do it in next plugin updates.
I’m glad that your issue is already solved 
Hello, I have a problem with the plugin when I switch to mobile. The button displays correctly but when I click on it I get a change with the background darkening but I don’t have any filters appearing do you know why?
I have sent you the link to the page and the access to the site in admin if needed.
best regards
Hello Nico313
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
I checked your site and realized that Filters widget is placed in the widget area that is hidden on mobile devices. This is the reason, why you don’t see it when you click on the button to open them. You have to either to make this sidebar visible on mobile devices or to place Filters in another widget area that is not hidden on mobile. I’ve sent you example with visible Filters widget in email.
Thank you.
Hello Stepasyuk,
I moved filters to widget area visible on mobile and it work great.
Thank you.
How do i show a name or label for ACF true / false checkbox options? Currently shows 1 and 0. thanks
Hello fastworld
Thank you for using the plugin.
If you need to display ACF field labels instead of values, you can add to the functions.php of your active theme appropriate code from examples below. You also have to edit this code in accordance with your ACF field meta key(s). Here are these codes:
1. ACF field is Taxonomy object – https://gist.github.com/wpserve/0634299bcc67d03bef77119dd20c86e7
2. ACF field is field with choices – https://gist.github.com/wpserve/48277fc0320239d05b1d6e2c4da3db20
3. ACF field is post object – https://gist.github.com/wpserve/a9a58cb8a37be1472ded53296147cc56
I hope this will help you.
added code from 2. in functions file added ACF field keys and does not work. Still get a 1 or 0. I am trying to add a labels for the true/false field i have in acf. The true/ false i want to show are in a field group and the code for that doesn’t work either?
add_filter( 'wpc_filter_post_meta_term_name', 'wpc_truefalse_checkbox', 10, 2 );
function wpc_truefalse_checkbox( $term_name, $e_name ){
// Replace 'test_truefalse' with your field meta key
if( $e_name === 'test_truefalse' ) {
if( $term_name === "1" ) {
$term_name = 'True';
}
if ( $term_name === "0" ) {
$term_name = 'False';
}
}
return $term_name;
}
I get a Unknown error when i try to activate my license
My purchase code is b7ba7ef8-bf91-4636-aff2-6e85f2eb38bf
Hello lito84
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
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.
Hi Stepasyuk, I have seen a few posts about the plugin in the Locked status and followed the steps. I have two domains I run the plugin from, staging and production. I recently activated the key on staging and then deactivated it, but now can’t activate on either one. Please help?
Apologies, after waiting half an hour and trying the code again it worked. Obviously I was trying to activate to quickly after deactivating the previous one. Thank you. Great plugin btw!
Hi Web2Guy
Thank you for your warm words about the plugin. I’m glad that your problem is already solved 
Let me know if you will have any questions.
Hi, How do I configure the ‘range’ option, in rtl website?
Hi moshef3
Please, add in the Filters -> Settings -> Experimental -> Custom CSS next code:
.rtl .wpc-filters-range-wrapper{
flex-direction: row-reverse;
}
This will fix positions for Range filter inputs. I already added this code to the next plugin update.
Hello. I inherited a website utilizing WPML. However Im not very familiar with how to use it. That being said, we wanted to implement some filtering for one of our custom post types. I created a page template with a wp_query that outputs all the products. Then I implemented your filtering widget via echo do_shortcode directly in my page template as well. This outputs a nice looking grid of products, and the filtering works just fine in the native language (english). So I added a french translation to the page. Now the language dropdown selector shows french. If I change to the french language the post tiles are translated correctly. However the filters in the sidebar stop displaying with the following debug message:
No one Filter Set is related with this page. You can configure it in the Filter Set -> “Where to filter?” field.
I did look over the page here: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/with-wpml-polylang/ But that was the only info I can find about WPML setup on the website.And I did enable the recommended radio button from the above article. Sorry for being dense I just don’t know what part of the puzzle I’m missing here.
Ok I did figure out a little more here… I didnt realize you had to create a new filter set for each language. So I did that and I figured out the conditional logic you can use in the theme files to display different filter sets for different languages. So far so good. What I now am stuck on is figuring out how you translate the slugs for the taxonomy filters? In WPML all the terms have translations, however the filter URLs look like the taxonomy name (in english) added to the selected term(s) (also in english but with -fr appended to the end). Like: /product-type-adhesive-sealants-fr/industries-telecommunications/adhesive-sealant-uses-structural-entrance-seal-fr/
Hello pierrebalian
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
You did all the things by yourself and if you want to have another terms slugs for your French translations, you can edit these French terms in /wp-admin. In general filter prefixes and URL parts like -or-, -and- are not translatable in Filter Everything PRO.
Hello,
I have a unique problem. The Filter Everything Pro Plugin on my Blog page doesn’t get the data from the main category (Cat ID 1). So on the sidebar, the category filters for Cat ID 1 don’t appear, the main category of WordPress. Why does this happen? Not only that, but sub categories don’t show as well. But Cad ID 2 and others show.
Please help.
Found the problem, ‘Show Hierarchy’ breaks it entirely. Cat ID 1 can’t be shown when this option is selected. You need to fix it. It doesn’t work on both Blog page and Category Page.
By the way, the version is 1.7.5
Also, on the Backend, Admin settings section, Cat ID 1 can’t be included in the include/exclude section also. It’s like Cat ID 1 is disregarded by the plugin entirely.
Hello mgcl1
Thank you for purchasing the plugin.
Please, send me credentials to your /wp-admin in accordance with this document and provide me with link to the page with this problem I will check it myself.
Thank you.
Hello! @stepasyuk
Information has been sent on https://codecanyon.net/user/stepasyuk as your requested. Thank you for your help.
Hello, we have never heard back from you.
Hello, it has been give days. We have still not heard back from you.
Hello mgcl1
I’m sorry, it’s my mistake. I got confused and thought your question was no longer relevant.
Ok, I will check it in closest 12-14 hours and will respond you (now it is late evening in my place)
I am having trouble dialing the filter in to get correct search results…For example: I have a product that fits both a 1997 Porsche Boxster and a 1999 Porsche 911. I f I search for Make/Model/Year as “Porsche”/ “911”/ “1997” it will display results as though it fits a 1997 911, but the 1997 is for the Boxster. Is there a way around this? Thanks.
Hello songsmash
You have the same situation as the user here in this comments thread – https://codecanyon.net/comments/29143908
Shortly – if you want to relate your car models with year of their production you have to create terms “Porsche 1997, “Porsche 911 1999”, “Porsche 911 2004” etc.
In general it is not the filtering algorithm bug, it is rather data structure issue and you have to organaze them in accordance with your filtering requirements.
Hello, we have the PRO version and all is fine except that we want to only show “instock” products WITHOUT this term in urls. Is it a way to force it once for all ? I saw the wpc_filter_term_url hook, but it add it in the url and we don’t want that.
Best regards
Hi, it seems you need the purchase code to reply, I’m just the webmaster. Here it is : e420c214-eb9f-477e-8275-b003554bba9f
Hello esadev
Thank you for your interest in Filter Everything PRO.
Unfortunatley you have to write your support question only from the account, where the plugin was purchased.
Hello there! Does your plugin have a search function to search through the filters? For example, if I have 60 options in the filter and instead of looking through all of them I want to have a search input at the beginning of that filter so that I may search and find fastly for the option that I am looking for. Is that possible or available? Thank you!
Hello kiklab
Sure, you can enable search field for a filter. Just open “More options” section and activate the option “Search field” for it.
Hi there, the plugin is causing a fatal error after upgrading to PHP 8 “PHP message: PHP Warning: Undefined variable $query in /www/{redacted}/public/wp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/WpManager.php on line 757PHP message: PHP Warning: Undefined variable $matches in /www/{redacted}/public/wp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/WpManager.php on line 760” while reading response header from upstream, client: 86.41.93.0, server: {redacted}, request:...”
Can you help?
Hi shanesull
Thank you for using the plugin.
Please, update it to the latest version 1.7.5 available here on CodeCanyon in the Downloads section. It is tested and compatible with PHP 8.0
Hi, unfortunately your plugin doesnt seem to work on my page. I configured everything the right way, see screenshot 1 – but on my shop page i get no results. See screenshot 2 I used the [fe_widget] shortcode to implement the filter.
https://www.martinwieland.at/screenshot1.png https://www.martinwieland.at/screenshot2.pngWhats wrong?
best regards
Whats wrong?
best regards
Hi FotoWieland
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
Please, check in WooCommerce settings if your Shop page is configured as “Shop page” in WooCommerce -> Settings -> Products -> Shop page.
Also you can try values “Common WordPress pages” -> “All archive pages for this Post Type” or “Pages” -> “Shop page”.
hi stepasyuk, thanks for your reply. both is correct set. still not working. i have sent you the login datas for the site -as you wrote to some other client. i am not doing that on my own. my webmaster is programming everything for me
Hi FotoWieland
Thank you for your credentials.
Please, let me know where and how did you insert the Filters widget on the page? It seems you inserted it as shortcode and I recommend you to remove the id attribute from it (if you use it).
Please, let me know.
Hi FotoWieland
In general if you want to see Filters on some page they have to match several conditions:
- in the Filter Set they should be directed on the page or pages in the “Where to filter?” field (for examle on all Category pages or on All archive pages for selected post type)
- Filters shortcode should be placed on the page(s) without Filter Set ID or it should be just Filters widget.
Unfrotunately I don’t see where you placed the shortcode and if you use different templates for your Shop page and for Product category pages, you have to add Filters shortcode inside each such template.
In general your case is not related with bugs in the plugin or something like that. You just have to correctly configure your Filter Set and Filters widget. I recommend you to look on this article about how to quick start with the plugin – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/quickstart/
Thank you. Regards.
hello stepasyuk, my webmaster did everything as suggested, but he can’t put in a shortcode in that category where i need this filter. https://www.martinwieland.at/screenshotmw/
Hello FotoWieland
If I understood you correctly you have the problem with inserting the shortcode in the category archive template. I would be glad to help you more with this, but unfortunately I can help you with issues related with my plugin only. You or your webmaster have to find the way how to insert the shortcode in the category archive template by yourself.
Please, let me know if Filters will not work after inserting the shortcode.
Best regards.
hi stepansyuk, i understand. just to be clear: i want to use this filtereverywhere on only ONE category. and i only want to have it displayed in this ONE category and nowhere else. is this possible? if no, then i would ask you for refunding me the money for the plugin, because then it’s not the correct one for me. thanks in advance and kind regards martin
Hi FotoWieland
Sure. It is possible to use filters on the page of single Category only. Just make several simple steps:
- create Filter Set with desired filter(s)
- direct it to you Category page in the “Where to filter?” field. You have to select “Categories” -> “Your Category name”
- select appropriate WP_Query in the “And what to filter?” field. If there is one query, select it.
- put Filters widget as WordPress widget or as Shortcode [fe_widget] on your Category page. It can be done via archive.php template or category.php or your taxonomy name archive template if it is not posts category.
It is enough. And please, do not try to enable AJAX, until you ensure, that filtering works on this Category page.
Thank you. Best regards.
thank you – everythiing is working fine now. kind regards
Hello damon153068
Just enable “Horizontal view” in the Filters widget. Please, see – https://prnt.sc/tdEPx0b2oLI-
If you use shortcode [fe_widget horizontal="yes" columns="3"]
Hi, is there a way to limit the number of posts that show at any one time, with a “load more” button for the user to load, say the next 6 posts (or whatever number), and so on… ? I attempted to use the Load More Anything plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/ajax-load-more-anything/) in combination with your filters, but it seems there is an AJAX conflict. So I was wondering if there was a native way to achieve the same within the one plugin.
Many thanks
Hi trevolution
Thank you for your question.
In general it depends more from the “Load more” plugin than from Filter Evetything PRO. If no one 3rd party plugin for “Load more” button does not do what you need, you can try to write your custom code that loads posts through AJAX. The most important points in such solution are jQuery(document).trigger("ready"); which fires every time, when the filter loads posts through AJAX. And PHP hook do_action( 'wpc_filtered_query_end', $wp_query ); that allows you to handle posts per page for filtered WP_Query. Of course all these expects that you are familiar with PHP/JavaScript coding.

Hello Stepasyuk, is it possible to insert the dropdown naming into the field like here: https://www.zalando.de/schuhe/ best regards
Hi, i need 2 filters on mobile / tablet in a row. I have set the width to 40% and tried other stuff, but it didn’t worked. Is there any grid 1 setup or something that i cant find ? best regards (on my first site -> men shoes)
3. Question. I want to display the subcategories like on zalando mobile (https://www.zalando.de/adidas/) – Your Plugin can only filter right ? so it adds a prefix with the category and dont link to the normal subcategories. Can you add a feature for that ?
The first question was old stuff. What i mean is -> probaply i can only edit the “Select -” stuff with a translate plugin or ? I only want the name to get displayed.
I just read other comments and i see the support work you have. I have some ideas for maybe lower the support work. There is no search on your site, i used several times google for searching some plugin text. Also create for every Question you get a FAQ and videos and answer every aspect -> in long run you have way more free time. best regards
Hello jooee
1. You can override the dropdown.php temlate with this instruction – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/templates-overriding/ ans insert there your own names. Also you can change default option value in the dropdown in several ways:
- To translate it with the Loco translate plugin or other software if you use not-English language on your site.
- To use hook ‘wpc_dropdown_default_option‘ if you are familiar with PHP development.
2. From the latest version of the plugin (v 1.7.5) you can enable Horizontal view ans specify columns count in the Filters widget or in the shortcode if you use it.
3. If you need list of links to subcategories you can use regular WordPress categories widget for that.
4. Please, see item 1.
5. Yes, thank you jooee for your advice. I though about that and indeed the search field will be very helpful.
Thank you.
Hi, I read the documentation but I couldn’t find anything. I’m using Rank Math’s 404 monitor and WP Rocket for caching. I recently changed a few filters from Logic “OR” to “AND” and I deleted a filter. Now when I’m checking Rank Math’s 404 monitor it shows that WP Rocket/Preload keeps crawling these old sites that were created by Filter Everything with Logic “OR” and also the filter that was deleted and keeps generating 404 logs in Rank Math’s 404 monitor. Although it doesn’t affect human traffic, these deleted filters and the sites the filter has created, are still somewhere in my data bank or on my site. Is there a way to remove these old filters and the paths/sites permanently that were created by Filter Everything, so that WP Rocket doesn’t try to Preload them anymore? I hope I could explain the problem accurately.
Hi domgro2
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
If you changed filter logic all old URLs with the old logic became unavailable on your site and only cache plugins like WP Rocket may continue generate HTTP response with code “200 OK” some time. Usually such pages disappear by themselves after refreshing cache. In general it is not necessary to do anytihng from the Filter Everything PRO side. Just clear your cache and wait some time until these URLs will disappear. If they will not disappear, you have to check this in your Rank Math’s 404 monitor and WP Rocket plugins.
Hi the filters are not working what could be the issue https://wordpress-521369-3116170.cloudwaysapps.com/denovo-transactions/
Hi. Ive been unable to get this to work. When getting it all set up, selecting a filter doesn’t affect any of the products on the page. Im assuming this is due to me using the bricks theme/ builder. Ive tried various methods such as just using Gutenberg editor and adding the filter widget in bricks. If you aren’t familiar bricks allows you to add sidebars and widgets, but I assume its messing this up. I also tried adding products via bricks and the widget there, but that didn’t work either. Please let me know if you have any thoughts. I have a few years of Wordpress experience, so I dont think its anything im doing.
Hi davidkoenig23
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
It is popular issue 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.
