Hi, Can we add multiple pages for filter show? https://prnt.sc/nFJoErZfroOV

Hello bull_

I’m sorry, it looks like I didn’t understand you right at first time. If you want to add Filter Set on all your Category pages (not single post pages), you can select there option “Any Category page” and this Filter Set will be applied on every Category page by default.

But if you want to add it on all singular pages (like Post, Product or Page) this feature will be available in the next plugin version. But also I have intermediary version that already support this and if you need it I can send you link to this version if you will send me message in PM.

Please, let me know. Thank you. Regards.

Hey, i think i was not clear enough. Say i hav 5 categories where i want the same filtes on. Instead of making a duplicate of the same filter set 5 times, is it possible that i can just “checkmark” the 5 categories in one single filter set?

Hello bull_

Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunatley there is no such option yet, but you can use a trick – to direct Filter Set to all you Categories and to display FIlters widget only on that desired 5 Category pages. On all other categories you may hide it or even to display another Filter widget.

This can be achieved for example with plugin Widget Logic and with two [fe_widget] shortcodes where you can specify Filter Set ID and inserted this shortcodes in default WordPress Text/HTML widget.

Hello! Thank you for the great plugin. I’m having a problem with the cache. Before installing the plugin, the site was not being cached. After installing it, the cache is turned on and it seems to last for quite a long time. Apparently, the plugin has some kind of internal cache. Are there any ways to permanently disable the plugin’s cache or set a shorter cache lifetime? Thank you!

Hello maxim-belenkiy

Indeed, the plugin has own internal cache, but you always can reset it if you open your site with additional URL parameter ”?reset_filters_cache=true” I.e. https://example.com/?reset_filters_cache=true

Optionally you can add this URL to your server’s Cron and set period when it should be executed. This will allow you to reset plugin’s cache automatically and periodically.

Hello! Tried to work with your filters. The price filter don’t appear.

This page filtering everything fine. https://opsholders.com/product-category/kw-st-suspensions/

But this page, showing that there is items but not filtering anything…. (also wheel width is made sorting by abc… but not working also…

https://opsholders.com/product-category/wheels/ This page if you choose model they put every car models but not the one you need… https://opsholders.com/product-category/akrapovic/

Hello opsholders

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

On this page https://opsholders.com/product-category/wheels/ it seems filters work as expected. Example – https://opsholders.com/product-category/wheels/?filter_wheel-model=jr14&filter_off-set=20

Maybe you already changed it to the correct value in the “And what to filter?” field. Also if you do not see the Price filter please, check if you specified correct meta key, disable option “Hide empty Filters” and check if you didn’t set the Parent filter for the Price filter.

If you want to see there https://opsholders.com/product-category/akrapovic/ only Car models that are related with selected Brand, please specify the Brand filter as parent for the Car model filter. It can be done under filter’s “More options” section.

Regards.

I have a problem when i try to set the plugin licence key i’m reading “unknown error”.... impossible to set

Hello anthonynouveloeil

Thank you for the credentials, I checked them and they work. But also send me please License key generated on the page opened after click on the “Get your License Key” button https://prnt.sc/-ehm9df3H_XT

Thank you. Regards.

Hello,

I send you the licence key by private message !

Thank you. Regards.

Hello anthonynouveloeil

Thank you for the details you provied. License keys were activated on both your sites.

Now you can update the plugin on the site with its old version. But don’t forget to create DB and plugins backup. For example you can do it with the Updraft Plus Backup plugin.


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!

I need some filters (apply_filters): 1. on widget filter title (has css-class “widget-title”), 2. on sorting option values. I need to make some modification in specific cases. mainly for translation cases. Simply wrap the values by apply_filters function please! Thank you very much.

one thing i did not find is a filter for wpc-orderby-select option VALUES. whats inside the option tag.

i think its sufficient to wrap variable in line 40 of frontend/orderby.php

Hello nicmare

You always can override this template with your own and modify any code in it. Please, look on the Templates Overriding feature, that my plugin supports – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/templates-overriding/

Hi , I am trying to set up the plugin on the shop page but it is not displaying over there. any suggestions? I have setup the filter , setup the widget as well but still no filter enabled on the shop page.

Hi manishsharmapetsolutionsintl

Thank you for the review update.

In general if you want to filter Brands that usually are taxonomies this is not possible as the plugin filters only posts. But if you want to filter BY Brands it is possible of course. Please, provide me with link to the page with these Brands and I will say you definitely if it is possible at all.

Regarding to show filtered products with “In Stock” status only – there are two ways to achieve this:
1. To create fitler by Stock status as in this example – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/example/by-stock/ and your site visitors can control what to see
2. Or to add in the functions.php of your active theme next code – https://gist.github.com/wpserve/6bb6d1c7141f23b058a1ca726ca57372 This will force to hide “Out of stock” products automatically.

Regards.

Thanks … what do you mean by BY Brands??

My page url : https://69c.ae1.myftpupload.com/brands/

Hi manishsharmapetsolutionsintl

Thank you for the link you provided.

I checked the page and I can say that you display there Brands that are taxonomy terms and they can not be filtered by the Filter Everything PRO/Free plugin. Because the plugin filters products or posts only, but it does not filter taxonomy terms.

BY Brands – I mean situation, when you filter products and Brands is one of the filtering criterion (like Category or Pet in your case).

Regards.

If main post query loop is changed to product post type – only options available in the Filter settings are “Search results page for selected Post Type” or “Shop Page”. What is needed is “All archive pages for this Post Type”. Please advise on a potentail fix here.

Hello Designr_company

In general there is no support for accounts which support period is expired in accordance with the Rules. But I can help you later, after all requests from accounts with valid support period will be processed It may take some time – days or weeks.

If you want to get it faster, please extend your support period and this request will be processed in the first queue for supported accounts.

Thank you. Regards.

I have a Question about saving Inputs.

We use Filter Everything Pro for Searching through our Categories of our Shop.

I´d like to define the Filter Parameters (Make/Model/Year) etc on the Startpage and to Save the Input Values for the Categories so that the customer doesn´t have to input the values again and again for every Page switch. How can i get the Filter to work like this ?

Hello royk9

I think the best way in your case is not to define pre-selected filter terms, but to modify WP_Query that displays products on the Startpage and force it to select desired Make/Model/Year by default. When visitor will filter these products these pre-defined Make/Model/Year will be always selected.

Another opiont is to set your Startpage to be opened by URL with pre-selected filters for example like this – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/product-category/electronics/smartphones/

Hi! I noticed that a few pages that have my Filter Everything Pro on them, have lost their formatting. I have configured them all the same, but for some reason a few pages look wonky -while others look normal. Example of normal page: https://audrasbridalgallery.com/jasmine-bridesmaids/

Wonky filters: https://audrasbridalgallery.com/view-all-2/

Any help greatly appreciated

Hello erikakyoung

I’m not sure it is related with Filter Everything PRO directly, but it looks like you inserted the ‘code’ tag in the content of your pages and maybe it was not closed or used wrong. Please, see – https://prnt.sc/vo9VOxjGVq7o

Hello, I’m tried PM’ing you but no reply so posting my issue in comments.

I have added multiple filters using shortcode on Shop page, which works fine for Desktop view. But for Mobile view (Pro version, mobile popup enabled) it only displays one Filter List and all other’s do not display.

Store is built using Elementor, Hello Theme https://woocommerce-968147-3384627.cloudwaysapps.com/shop/

Thanks in advance for your help

Hello awedience

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

In general this trick with several Filter Sets for the same page and the filter by the same entity does not work with Pop-up for mobile devices. Because every Filters widget has own single Pop-up.

If this is your staging copy of the new site I recommend you do not use Product categories for “Product”, “Protein” and “Pet type” entities. But instead of them to create appropriate 3 taxonomies with free CPTUI plugin, create one Filter Set with all filters and you will get regular Pop-up for mobile with all these filters.

Hello itlogicpro

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Usually such behaviou is consequense of the wrong selected WP_Query. It looks like your Product category pages and your Shop page contains different WP_Queries and they require to use different Filter Sets. For example one may be for all Product Categories, second for your Shop page. And you have to play with the value in selected “And what to filter?” field. I recommend you also to disable AJAX when you are configuring your filters and enable it only after you ensure that all filters work as expected.

Hi there! I have a problem with the category hierarchy. I have no checkbox to enable it. https://ibb.co/xjNz54X

Hi tanyazhi

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Usually the reason of such issue is that selected taxonomy is not hierarchical and does not support parent and child terms. Please, make sure that you selected correct taxonomy because sometimes there may be several taxonomies with similar names on a site.

But this is the regular Woocommerce category with subcategories. Double checked. Doesn’t work. Can I have my money back?

Hi tanyazhi

You always can create refund request in the appropriate form in your account.

But I can check the problem directly on your site if you will send me credentials to your /wp-admin in accordance with this document.

Thank you. Regards.

Hello

I got two issues I’m trying to solve:

1) I’m trying to filter product categories with filter logic turned to “AND”. If I now select a parent category there are no results. Is it possible to change that?

2) The mobile popup widget doesn’t appear, I already tried different settings but I’m not getting any results.

https://n-joyevents.ch/shop/

Hello ruben114

Thank you for credentials you provided.

I’ve checked your site and realized next:

1) You parent categories like “Licht” or “Lautsprecher” does not contain any products and that’s why it is expected behaviour that filter counters show 0 for these filter terms and you do not see any products when you select them. To see products, pease add them to these categories also.

2) You theme does not support standard WordPress theme hooks and that’s why you do not see Filters button that opens Pop-up filters widget on mobile devices. But you always can insert the button with shortcode [fe_open_button] for example in your sidebar and it will appear. Also please, make sure that filters widget placed in container that is not hidden on mobile devices.

Thank you. Regards.

Hi

Thanks for your reply

1) If I set the filter logic to “OR”, all the children products appear only when I set it to “AND” they don’t show up. Isn’t this odd?

2) Thanks, that worked fine!

Hi ruben114

Yes, it looks like a bug at a first glance. But in fact it is expected behavior.

WordPress uses parameter ‘include_children’ that by default forces parent category page to display posts from its children categories. And Filter Everything only inherits the value of this parameter. On your site it has value ‘true’ and that’s why when you use logic “OR” filter shows you posts from children categories. Also if you open parent category page you will see posts from its children categories.

But when you use logic AND in the filter it is not compatible with ‘include_children’ parameter and that’s why you do not see any posts because parent category page does not contain them. To display them you have to attach posts to these parent categories also.

Thank you. Regards.

Hello, I have the following problem: I have filled in my license on my site which is still active, however, I encounter “This license key already used for two sites.”

How can I manage the license to use it on my site: https://www.sport-in-place.com

Thanking you in advance Sincerely Bruno

Hello Bruno

Indeed, you can use the same license key only on two websites simultaneously. Basically on your end-product website and on its development copy. But if you want to use the license key on third website you have two options:
- to deactivate it on one of your previous two websites
- to buy new license for the plugins and use it on 3-4 websites simultaneously.

Hello Stepasyuk!

I’m sorry to be here again, but today we launched our new website, everything was fine in Maintenance mode, because we were all logged in, and we didn’t notice this, but for some weird reason, your plugin only works for LOGGED IN users, if you are a Guest, everything is fine design wise, but Filter’s aren’t working. We have WP Rocket cache plugin installed, we thought the problem was that, but we disabled all optimizations from it, surprise, problem still persists, any ideea why it behaves like this ? It’s really weird and to be honest, at a long journey of months to set everything up, and put attributes for each product just for them ending up not working it’s very stressful, thanks for any input/help. Cheers

Hi JohnnyQ

Yes, we plan to add this compatibility in future updates. There are no exact dates when it will be released yet, as we are working on the most important things at this time. For now, we are focused on expanding the filtering functionality as well as the filtering speed. A new release with these updates was released a few days ago.

It will be added but when exactly there is no information yet.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hey Victor, we’re talking this year, the next ? If you can give me a rough estimate, would be much appreciated.

Basically, it’s only the beginning of the year, so it could be released this year. But that’s very abstract at the moment because even the development team can’t give us a date yet.

When we get more accurate information about this. We’ll let you know right away.

Best Regards,
- Victor

We have installed the filter just for our blogs, and it doesn’t seem to be pulling in all of the categories.

https://mushrooms.virtualombudsman.com/blog-draft/

We have tested each query…what are we doing wrong?

Hello warchop1237

As I see the Category filter works and shows you all possible categories on your site. But the filter by Post tags does not display them and it seems there are no tags yet on your site. It seems you have to create them first.

But if you have Post tags on your site and you are sure that thay should be displayed, please, send me credentials to your /wp-admin in accordance with this document I will check it myself.

Thank you.

Hello, I updated the plugin and my filters stopped working. The top-level filter category is visible but the taxonomies are no longer visible. I restored a backup to a dev environment and tested all updates. Is there a github repo that I can look at?

Thanks

Hello hearts89

I’m sorry for the inconvenient.

I suspect that you may use Templates Overriding feature and some filter templates should be updated.

I use BitBucket to store plugin’s repository and I can send you ZIP with it if you will send me message in PM.

Hi,

With AJAX enabled, when you select a filter and then go back to the previous page, the products do not reload from previous filters.

For example : https://demo.filtereverything.pro/example/dark-overlay-and-ajax-loader/

When you select “Black color”, it will update with 4 black products, then if you hit the back button (at browser level), nothing happens. It’s still the 4 black products. Only the url has updated but not the content.

Could you implement this ? I think it’s an important problem.

EDIT: it seems to happen only the first time a filter is selected.

Thanks :)

Hi DailyLost

Thank you for your report.

Indeed it is known issue, when the latest step in history chains does not work. As you already realized if you select Black and after any other filter(s) the back button becomes to work properly. The only latest step (first selected filter) will not work.

I know about this issue and marked it as needing to be fixed in code – https://prnt.sc/X3F3JgjtVcw4 But there are more prioritized tasks that should be fixed more urgently than this.

I will let you know here in this comments thread, when it will be fixed.

Thank you. Regards.

Ok thanks :)

Hello, I am very interested in this plugin “FilterEverything Pro” But still have some questions before buying. I have programming ability, and I want to know whether the plug-in can customize the filtering content? Because we use a custom table to save the product meta, it cannot be recognized normally. Can the Pro version use hooks to define a filter type?

Hello devstudioes

Thank you for your interest in Filter Everything PRO. I’m glad to meet here person who are also familiar with coding.

There are some amount of hooks already presented in the plugin, but I also can add new if you will need them. You can purchase the plugin and let me know what exactly hooks you need to be able in the plugin so that you will not loose your changes after plugin updates.

Hello Stepasyuk, thanks for fast reply, I just bought this plugin. My website is a second-hand product with more than 10k products. For this reason, I abandoned postmeta to store product attributes. I have a product_attributs table with product_id as the primary key, which stores product attributes. My requirement is, can there be a hook to filter according to the product_attributs table?

Hello devstudioes

Thank you for purchasing the plugin. We had Easter these days so I was absent some time.

If you want to use external table to filter your products by data in this table, you globally have to solve two tasks: 1) To select data from this table and convert this data to filter terms 2) To modify filtered WP_Query and add your custom parameters that selects posts related with data in this external table.

I’ve already added hooks that allow you to solve both these tasks to intermediary plugin version. They are as follows.

For filter terms:
// Taxonomy filter terms
$result = apply_filters( 'wpc_filter_get_taxonomy_terms', get_terms( $args ), $this->getName() );

// Author filter terms
$sql  = apply_filters( 'wpc_filter_get_author_terms_sql', $sql );

// Custom Field filter terms
$sql  = apply_filters( 'wpc_filter_get_post_meta_terms_sql', $sql, $e_name );

// Custom Field Num filter terms
$sql = apply_filters( 'wpc_filter_get_post_meta_num_terms_sql', $sql, $e_name );

// Custom Field Exists filter terms
$sql = apply_filters( 'wpc_filter_get_post_meta_exists_terms_sql', $sql, $e_name );

// Taxonomy Num filter terms
$sql = apply_filters( 'wpc_filter_get_taxonomy_num_terms', $sql, $tax_name );
To modify filtered WP_Query
// This hooks determines whether to filter WP_Query when specific filter terms are selected or skip it and it can be modified by developer in accordance with their needs.
$do_filter_request = apply_filters( 'wpc_do_filter_request', true, $queried_value, $wp_query );

I can send you link to this intermediary version if you will send me message in PM. These hooks will be in also in next plugin releases and you will be able to update the plugin.

Please, let me know. Thank you. Regards.
