I need it done on this page: https://a-webdiensten.nl/avada-themas/
Is this possible?
Regards
Hi amandomm
Sure, it is possible. You have several options for that:
1. Simply to increase the maximum height of a filters container in Filters -> Settings -> Filter Container max height, px
2. Enable hierarchy for the Category filter. Open your Filter Set edit screen, open your Category filter, click on More options and find there hierarchy checkbox and activate it.
Hi,
Multiple filters sets on the same page not working with flatsome theme.
Any idea ?
Thanks
Hi DailyLost
The best way to check the reason of the problem is to provide me with link to the page, where this issue exists. Please, send me it here in comments or optionally via PM.
Thank you. Regards.

Hi, unfortunately I am having problems configuring the filter button in the mobile version. Simply entering the shortcode [fe_open_button] displays the button but nothing is displayed. I later read that I have to indicate which filter to use in the format [fe_open_button id=”77”] but I couldn’t find the id of my filters… Thanks for your feedback!
Hi baalpid7
Usually the main reason is that there is no Filters widget is displayed on the page. If yo do not specify Filter Set ID, the button should open first existing on the page Filters widget anyway.
Are you sure that Filters widget exists on the page? Do you see it in desktop mode?
Please, let me know.
Hi! In the desktop version everything works perfectly while in mobile mode I can see the button but nothing appears after clicking. I wanted to try specifying the ID of the filter set but I don’t know where to retrieve this information. Even in the extended view mode I could not display a column or any mode that specifies which ID is assigned to a specific filter. Thanks for your support
Hi baalpid7
Ok, please, send me link to the page with this issue I will check it. Optionally you can send it via PM.
Thank you. Regards.
Hello, I have problem on product archive page Filter Everything works only in case I logged in as Administrator and doesn’t for any other user and guests, just shows blank categories and not possible to filter. I also use Woocommerce B2B plugin on my site and it looks Filter Everything has conflict with it and doesn’t work correctly. I don’t understand why. I checked another filter plugins and they work good. But I need to use Filter Everything. Is there any way to help to find solution. Could you please help fix this problem! Thanks in advance!
Hello ravolar
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO
From you description of the problem I think you have situation, when you show different content/different WP_Queries for your logged in and logged out visitors.
When you configure a Filter Set and select the WP_Query that should be filtered in the “And what to filter?” field, Filter Everyrthing PRO “catches” targeted WP_Query on the page. But it does it when you are logged in (because you are in the /wp-admin area) and it “see” only WP_Queries that are visible for looged in users. If your WP_Query appears on the page only, when visitors are not logged in, you have to display it at leas one time for logged in users also and “catch” it for Filter Set and after save the Set and try to filter after that. This should help you.
Is it possible to make a checkbox checked by default? I created a filter and it shows “internal” and “External” I want “Internal” check by default allways. Is this possible? Can it be done with some custom code ?
Hello tuukie
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
Unfortunately it can be done only in case if you open the page with selected in URL filter. For example https://example.com/type-internal/ You can place link to this page with such URL parameter for example in the Main menu and visitors will open your page with pre-selected “Internal” checkbox.
Yep that works, but I have WPML on that website and when changing language the /type-internal/ is gone and everything is visible.
Hello tuukie
You can insert appropriate link in the Main menu in another language. But this requires to have translated filters. How to translate Filter Set to another language you can find here – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/with-wpml-polylang/

Is there any documentation on working with ACF fields?
Hello jgutowski
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
In general the plugin works with ACF fields in the same as with Custom Fields because they are Custom Fields in any case. ACF only provides convenient interface for interaction with them.
But you may also to see this video tutorial from WPTuts – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki7LBcrYuAo It’s about Free version, but it works in the same way in PRO.
The Ajax feature doesn’t work. I tested the filter first without Ajax enabled and it works fine. With Ajax enabled, it shows all results. I checked the documentation but I can only find a section on Ajax causing issues with other aspects of the site, not with it not working. Can you help?
Hello laurayeffeth
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
Usually the reason is in wrong configured value for the “CSS ID or Class of Posts Container” option. I recommend you to look on this article about how to configure it right – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/plugin-settings/#ajax
Optionally you can provide me with link to the page with this problem and I can say what exaclty value you have to set for the option.
Thanks for getting back to me. It turns out it was a conflict with Genesis Connect for WooCommerce. I’ve decided not to use that plugin.
Hello laurayeffeth
Okay. Thank you for your notification about that. Regards.
Hi. I’m unable to activate license key. Credentials sent by PM
Hi larsjko
Please, try to do it now. Already should works normally.
Thanks for your reply. Still gets “Unkown error”
Ok, please send me your license key via PM.
Thank you for the details. The license is activated.
Thanks for your prompt assistance. Everything is good now!
Great. I’m glad that your problem is solved 
If it is possible I would be thankful for a positive review about the plugin here on CodeCanyon – https://codecanyon.net/item/filter-everything-wordpress-woocommerce-filter/reviews/31634508
Thank you in advance!
Hi! Quick question. I would like to use filters horizontally. It works except the apply and reset buttons are shows below the filters. I’d like them to appear on the right of the filters, on the same line. Is this possible? Thank you!
Hi FlorenceGee
In general yes, it always possible. But it requires some CSS adjustments. Unfortunately I can’t provide such CSS code example, but if you familiar with CSS or if you have a developer, who can help you with this, it is not so complex to achieve that.
I would just need a CSS code example please. Thanks!
Hi FlorenceGee
In general support https://codecanyon.net/page/item_support_policy here does not provide any code customizations. But sometimes I provide my customers with code snippets if I already have them or if they require less than 10 minutes for writing. This case requires more and I can only say that if I will have time for that I will try to provide you with it. But I can’t promise and for the moment I have no such time. I’m sorry.
Regards.
I tried adding the short code and it is still not coming up in the mobile version. Any suggestions please?
Hi freefallapps

Thank you. Regards.
Hi,
I have 2 bugs with flatsome theme :
1) Result count on the top is not updated, it’s stay the same (it’s working with storefront).
2) When you select checkbox filters and then refreshing the page (not hard refresh, simple F5), the checkbox filters checked are wrong (for example you can have filters for 5 colors but after refresh 4 checkbox are selected despite the products shown are okay).
Edit: it’s occuring with firefox, looks okay with chrome (for the 2)).
you can see it live : https://infallible-shtern.217-160-53-245.plesk.page/shop/
it’s a vanilla WP + Filter Everything plugin + Flatsome theme and nothing else…
And btw, is there any option to disable multiselection (for types other than radio) ?
Thanks for your help ! 
For the first problem, I put back the default woocommerce hooks and disabled flatsome ones. So it’s working but it would be better to get a solution that is compliant with Flatsome 
For the second problem, it’s also occuring on yout demo website.
Thanks
Hi DailyLost
Thank you for your reports.
1. Counter is updated every time if you load filtering results by direct link or you don’t use AJAX. Plase open for example this link – https://infallible-shtern.217-160-53-245.plesk.page/shop/couleur-green/ and you will see that counter works fine.
If it does not work with enabled AJAX it means that you did not include the couunter in the container you specified for the CSS id or class of the Posts Container Just specify more common container that includes this counter and your products and it will be updated every time, when you select a filter term.
2. Indeed, I reproduced this in FireFox. I’m not sure about the reason of such behaviour but I do not have any control of this situation. I can only make checkbox checked from JavaScript code and why exactly FireFox removes one of them I have no idea. It’s rather the question for the FireFox developers than for me. I think any other plugin with JS-coded selection of checkboxes works in the same way in FireFox. But if I will find something that can solve this problem, of course I will fix it.
Hi,
Yes for 1) I ended including the counter in the container (it’s outside with flatsome). So i override the theme file.
2) ok
Thanks
Great.
I’m glad that your issues is already solved.
Hello. Thanks for the plugin!
There are not enough additional variables in the SEO Rule to describe categories for me. There’s only ‘site_title’ and ‘page_number’. How to add a Custom Fields of category to the SEO rule?
Hello pavelf7
I think you can try to add it with ACF plugin and on the page, where you want to display it, you can get field’s value by SEO Rule ID. To get the SEO Rule ID you can use next code:
if( class_exists( 'FilterEverything\Filter\Pro\PluginPro' ) ){
$seoFrontend = \FilterEverything\Filter\Container::instance()->getSeoFrontendService();
$seoRulePostId = $seoFrontend->get( 'seoRulePostId' );
var_dump($seoRulePostId);
}
In which file should I insert this code? do I need to change something in the code?
Hello pavelf7
If you are not familiar with PHP you have to ask or hire a developer to help you with this. Unfortunately such development questions are not included in the plugin support here on CodeCanyon. I would be glad to help you with this for example for extra payment, but unfortunatley I have not time for such service.
Thank you. Regards.
Hello, i have same problem like man before me, I am using Collapse Filters Widget on Mobile devices. I want it to be closed on the mobile device after the filter on a new page. Now on initial page is closed but after the filtering it is open.
Thanks
Hello ilija1973
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
In general custom coding is not provided under CodeCanyon item support policy, but as it requires less than 10 minutes of my time I’m not against to provide it. Please, add in the Filters -> Settings -> Experimental – Custom CSS next code:
body.wpc_show_open_close_button .wpc-filters-widget-content.wpc-opened{
display: none;
}
This should help you 
Hello, I’m Sébastien from Polylang Pro and we have a customer in common which can’t make working your plugin with ours… The issue is your filters are working well with Polylang, but when the customer adds Polylang Pro, then it stops working. The line in your code which is preventing it to work is https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/filter-everything/trunk/src/wpc-third-party.php#L441 Why do you return false if Polylang Pro detected ? There’s surely a reason, and I invite you to contact us through https://polylang.pro/support/ I’m sure we’ll find a solution to make our both plugin work together. Hope to hear news from you soon. Regards
Hello sebastienserre
I’m sorry for the late response.
In general the main problem is not in this function. From my side it looks like the main problem is in the hook ‘pll_get_post_types’ that often does not work.
Here is example from your documentation:
add_filter( 'pll_get_post_types', 'add_cpt_to_pll', 10, 2 );
function add_cpt_to_pll( $post_types, $is_settings ) {
if ( $is_settings ) {
// hides 'my_cpt' from the list of custom post types in Polylang settings
unset( $post_types['my_cpt'] );
} else {
// enables language and translation management for 'my_cpt'
$post_types['my_cpt'] = 'my_cpt';
}
return $post_types;
}
But in fact it did not work for my customer “Huzebio” and I changed it to
function flrt_add_cpt_to_pll( $post_types, $is_settings ) {
if ( $is_settings ) {
$post_types[ FLRT_FILTERS_SET_POST_TYPE ] = FLRT_FILTERS_SET_POST_TYPE;
}
return $post_types;
}
But it seems it depends from the Polylang PRO version and in dependancy from it I have to use first or second code example.
My goal is to make post type ‘filter-set’ translatable post type to allow users to create Filter Sets in accordance with languages on their sites. So my question is next – how to make the ‘filter-set’ post type always translatable in Polylang PRO?
Please, let me know. Thank you. Regards.
Hello, Could you please contact us at https://polylang.pro/support ? We’ll check how to help you the best to solve this issue once for all. Regards
Hello sebastienserre
I tried, but the form requires Polylang PRO license key ) Is there any other way to contact with you without this key?
I’ve already asked about the key in our common customer that faced with the issue.
Regards.
Hi,
Your plugin looks great !
However i’m a bit worried with all extra url created with the filters, as they would have very low value for me.
Is there an option to disable links for the facets ?
Thanks
Hello DailyLost
Thank you for your interest in Filter Everything PRO.
Sure, they can be disabled. I will provide you with instruction of how to do that in terms of the plugin support after you will purchase it.
Done 
Ideally i’d like to enable it for few filters but not all. And if it’s not possible, i prefere disable them all for the moment.
Thanks
I think i get it.
If i play with “Indexing depth” and “Indexing filters”, i get meta robots noindex nofollow on specific pages, so i can disable indexing attributes not very useful for SEO.
If there is more that i should know, thanks to tell me 
Thanks
Your plugin is really easy to use, congratulations !
I just have 2 questions : – Would it be possible to add a rel=”nofollow” for links to “noindex” pages ? – Is it possible to display a range for a product attribute ? (it’s greyed out as it is)
Thanks 
Hello DailyLost
Thank you for purchasing the plugin and for your warm words about it.
1. You can add rel=”nofollow” attribute to all filter links using hooks Term HTML hooks. Please, see here more info about them – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/hooks/#term-html-hooks But these hooks do not allow you to understand what links are indexable and what are not. So you have choice to add it to all links or do not add at all.
Optionally you can replace all permalinks with GET-style variables in URLs. As it is in Free version of the plugin. For example ?color=yellow&size=large instead of /color-blue/size-large/ To get this, just add in the functions.php of your active theme next code:define( 'FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED', false );
2. Yes. sure. You can create range filter for any taxonomy including product attribute. If it is greyed out it means you selected taxonomy that is not related with post type specified in Filter Set. Please, check these moments carefully.
Sorry one more question:
4.) When I enter a category through menü links (that I added through design > menü > available categories) the link will bring me to this url: /produkt-kategorie/zelte/
When I set the filter for the same category it brings me here: /shop/kategorie-zelte/
I have the problem that when I enter the category through menu link that still the filters are there that should be not there as I set them as not visible when empty. That one category is kind of selected then “greyed out” so that I cant switch it on or of but its like I´m on the main /shop page with all available filters. Problem is that then to many not necessary filters are in that selected category though menupoint. Why is that?
Thanks again.
Hello hwvaubel
I “checked” and “disabled” it for such cases on purpose to avoid situations when visitor is in the Category “Zelte” and they can select filter “Zelte”. Because logically it asks WordPress “Show me posts from Zelte category in Zelte category” which does not make sense. It is expected behavior when you show filters by Category on a Category page.
In earlier plugin versions I just hide such category filter term, but many users asked to show it back and I returned it, but made selected and disabled.
In general if it is not so necessary you may not display filters by Category on Category pages.
Yes I understand, but the problem is, that all the filters that should be gone, say “steel” or “tires” are still visible in that “greyed out” category that shouldn´t be there, because there is for example not the the taxonomy “tires” in the category “tents”. The problem is, that when I enter the archive through the ”/product-category”/ site the filter is preset, yes, but all the filters are there as I wouldn´t be in a deeper nested category where the filters should be not visible (as I set them to be). Hope u know what I mean. Or do I have to define an own filter for the WooCommerce (not product-urls) but also for the (category-urls) for WooC.? Hope u know what I mean.
Thanks.
Hello hwvaubel
I’m sorry, it would be much better if you will explain it on real example with links or maybe additional screenshots. Please, send me additonal information via PM. Because for the moment I’m not sure I understand you clear.
Thank you. Regards.
Hi, this request got resolved. I removed the filter “categories” and I am using another plugin just for showing up categories.
Filter Everything works I think as expected here. It shows the results of “categories” that contain products. What I wanted to achieve is that I will always have the parent category of the selected category with all childs listed and on click on them, get to the WooCommerce-URL (category based like ”/shop/zelte/trekkingzelte/”). Which is not really achivable with this plugin as it is not meant to do that I think.
So who wants to have a great plugin that can help with this is “Collapsing Categories” and with bit CSS you can also customize it to your needs. Below it I added the filterset, and voila!
Thx and regards
Great.
I’m glad that the issue is finally resolved 
Regards.
Hey, we use your plugin and ran into some small issues: 1. when I try to add another filter option, the attribute option is not clickable, it is grayed out. As you can see in the screenshot I have added the option producttags is not clickable, therefor I cannot add it as another option. What causes this? https://prnt.sc/VW7qcwtlS6vC 2. I have the option “Try to move sidebar to top on mobile devices” selected, but still the sidebar is displayed at the bottom. I tried changing the CSS to make the sidebar appear at the top, but without succes. Do you know how I can make it appear at the top ? We use the Struktur Creative Agency Theme
Hi davidt155
Thank you for your interest in Filter Everything PRO.
I have to say that support here is provided only for accounts who already purchased the plugin. Both issues can be solved.
If you use Free version, you can try to ask on WordPress forum and your question will be processed as soon as possible.
Thank you. Regards.
Hi,
thanks for your amazing plugin. I have some questions:
1.) When I add a filter “Taxonomy Numeric” with a Range option, where can I set this to collapsible “Folding”. The thing is we will have in our shop lot of range filters, so that this gets really not nice in design and long on the page… That would help us a lot.
2.) Any chance to set a filter as a link to that specific kategory page so that the options button in front is gone and on click on the word it would send the customer directly to the site. Would be nice for our “main” categories so the breadcrumps can then show the depth. I hope u know what I mean.
3.) I don´t know how to add “colors” to the color swatches option (activation through “Experimental” in Settings. I added the taxonomy which should show them but how to add the color? At the moment only a grey out picture is in front of the colors.
Thanks a lot for your support and great work! We really appreciate it!
Regards
Hi hwvaubel
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
1. For Range filters the “Folding” option was hidden as it is not necessary in 99% of cases. But it was hidden via CSS and you can display it back. Here is example – https://prnt.sc/KGihl8QmvDlF
Please, open your filter More options, open Chrome Console, find there element with “wpc-field-collapse-tr” class attribute, click on it and set display: block; and you will see it. You can activate folding option.
2. I’m sorry I’m not sure I understood you clear about the category, filter and link.
But if your goal is to add filter terms in Breadcrumbs, you can achieve this via hooks in the Breadcrumbs plugin and function flrt_selected_filter_terms(); that gives you all selected filter terms on the page. You have only to set them for the Breadcrumbs.
3. To set color for a certain taxonomy term just open it in edit mode and set the color at the bottom of the edit screen.
Please, let me know if it was helpful for you.
Thank you. Regards.
1.) Hi, it works but is there a chance to display it so that it stays visible? Tried to in Customizer with:
.wpc-field-collapse-tr { display: block; }
but I think the customizer will not have an effect on backend?
Thanks for your reply!
3.) Thanks! Now I found it and it works!
1) You have to add it somewhere, where it works/displays CSS in /wp-admin. Maybe some plugin allows to do that or you can include your own CSS file in /wp-admin. In general it is something out from the Filter Everything PRO support scope as it is common WordPress question. I think you always can find the answer for example in Google.
Ok, thanks.
Who also needs this can add it to your child themes functions.php like this and it will then be shown:
function custom_admin_css() {
echo '<style>
/* Add CSS-Code after this line for Admin Area, Backend */
.wpc-field-collapse-tr {
display: block !important;
}
</style>';
}
add_action('admin_head', 'custom_admin_css');
Hope this helps.
Regards
Thank you hwvaubel
It is also an option to implement this CSS.
Hello, I need some help. I use the plugin: Custom Post Types, Taxonomies and Fields for Avada Builder to display Custom Portfolion posts. I have used wordpress own custom fields to create more fields. Unfortunately, Filter Everything only works with the category filter that comes directly from the theme / wordpress. Not with my custom fields. The site is https://entwicklung.mueller-tiefbau-ak.de/work/
If I set the filter to my custom field “Weight” (Gewicht) no posts are displayed at all….
Please help!!!
Hello enestrix
Thank you for using Filter Everything PRO.
In general it is not supported issue as items on CodeCanyon expects that you have enough experience in WordPress to configure them by yourself.
But from other side usually such a problem is consequence of the wrong configured filter by this custom field. Probably reasons are:
- you set wrong meta key for your filter. Please, check carefully if you use the same meta key as your custom field
- your posts does not have values in this custom field. Please, fill up several posts with values for this custom field and after try to filter by them.
- try to reset filters cache by adding to the URL of your site ?reset_filters_cache=true and open it. For example https://example.com/?reset_filters_cache=true This will reset fitlers cache.
Please, let me know if it was helpful. Thank you. Regards.
Hello!
thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately clearing the cache did nothing.
I have now also tried to use ACF, but unfortunately also without success. As soon as a filter is set I get the message:
“Please add portfolio posts for them to display here”.
The only filter that works is the category selection. All the custom fields I created do not work.
How can I proceed here? I would like to debug more and know why this is not working ….

Hello enestrix
Please, install the Query Monitor plugin, try to filter by paramter that does not work, open in Query Monitor tab Queries and find there SQL query with words /* Current SQL Query is filtered by Filter Everything plugin */ Copy this SQL-query here and let me know how many rows were selected with this query. I think it will explain, why the filter does not work.
Hello!
I have installed the plugin and for my understanding, that should actually work.
It is interesting that Filter Everything probably does the query correctly. If I set a filter, then the number of objects found decreases. That’s what I would expect.
Unfortunately, I still see but no more posts on the page although according to the filter chips posts are available.
So the filtered result is not displayed as “Post”. Am I missing something at one point?
Would it be possible for you to have a look at it?
Thanks a lot so far!
The query:
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS lncApJsnG_posts.ID FROM lncApJsnG_posts LEFT JOIN lncApJsnG_postmeta ON ( lncApJsnG_posts.ID = lncApJsnG_postmeta.post_id ) LEFT JOIN lncApJsnG_postmeta AS mt1 ON ( lncApJsnG_posts.ID = mt1.post_id AND mt1.meta_key = ‘gewicht’ ) LEFT JOIN lncApJsnG_postmeta AS mt2 ON ( lncApJsnG_posts.ID = mt2.post_id ) WHERE 1=1 AND ( lncApJsnG_postmeta.meta_key = ‘gewicht’ AND mt1.post_id IS NULL AND ( mt2.meta_key = ‘gewicht’ AND CAST >= ‘9’ ) ) AND lncApJsnG_posts.post_password = ’’ AND ((lncApJsnG_posts.post_type = ‘baumaschinen’ AND (lncApJsnG_posts.post_status = ‘publish’ OR lncApJsnG_posts.post_status = ‘acf-disabled’ OR lncApJsnG_posts.post_status = ‘private’))) GROUP BY lncApJsnG_posts.ID ORDER BY lncApJsnG_postmeta.meta_value+0 ASC LIMIT 0, 12 /* Current SQL Query is filtered by Filter Everything plugin */
Hello enestrix
In this case I can only say that some problems are in your theme code that displays these posts. If they are selected correctly from DB but did not displayed on the page, it mems somethig went wrong between selection from DB and displaying of them. And this something can be only in theme files.
I would be glad to help you more with this, but support here is responsible only for the correct plugin work. Please, check the issue in the template file that provides displaying of posts.
Hi Stepasyuk,
Great plugin!
When I attempt to apply multiple filter options on my website, the SEO rules do not approve them, resulting in the content being flagged as “noindex” by search engine robots. Is there any solution to this?
<meta name=’robots’ content=’noindex, nofollow’ />
Hi kaioumabdul
Thank you for using the plugin.
If you mean situation, when you select several terms of the same filter (for example Color blue + yellow simultaneously) it is expected behavior that such page has “noindex” status. This was done to avoid sanctions from Google for search spam.
Because people very rarely use search keyphrase like “buy blue or yellow woman dress”. Usually “yellow woman dress” or “blue woman dress”. Also if to allow to index such combinations there will be a lot of automatically generated pages with “index” status. And Google can lower the rating of such a site.
But if you are sure that you want to allow to index such pages, you always can change page indexing status using hook ‘wpc_seo_robots’ to modify the robots meta tag value.
