Hello, I had just setup the pro version looking for the option to use it with Elementor. However, when I’m in Elementor the widget can’t be found.
Hi nbgavitus,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
The issue with finding the widget in Elementor is that its search bar is only working with Elementor widgets, so when you type “filter everything” it won’t show any results. You can find our widget by scrolling down to the WORDPRESS – https://prnt.sc/FPgVJhXM2S2N section where you can see our widget – https://prnt.sc/tn4URR9NgeaL

Hello! Quick question regarding the AJAX response when filtering. If you select any filter, the response includes the whole HTML for the full page, instead of just the filtered posts. Is this how it is supposed to work?
I imagine you are doing a sort of diff on it so that it seems like it just refreshed the contents, but, shouldn’t it only receive the filtered contents, so that they can be appended to the page, instead of fetching the full page? Thanks so much!
Hi perezcarreno,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
There is an “HTML id or class of the Posts Container” for that.
In general, there is no support for accounts whose support period has expired following the support policy. But we can help you later after all requests from accounts with valid support periods 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.
Best Regards,

Thank you, Victor! That was fast! We have multiple licenses (one for each client), so I’ll reach out from their account.
Hello again, Victor! I have renewed support on this account for efficiency.
We are using the “HTML id or class of the Posts Container”, but the network response for the request is always the full page. Is this the expected behavior?
To clarify, the page does not reload, which is good. To the user, it seems like only the results section changed. However, what we’re worried about is the response for the network request being so large (as it contains the full page).
Thank you for your time! -Armando
Hi Armando,
Yes, this is normal behavior. Because only HTML comes there which is a couple of kilobytes. The main part of the page is images and other multimedia files. And while they are in the AJAX response, but not inserted into the page, the browser does not request them from the server and does not load them. Therefore, the loaded traffic as a result is small.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thank you for your response, Victor. Are you saying that you are querying the full page from WordPress then? The reason I ask is that the response can take upwards of 3 seconds to come back, and that is most likely because it has to process the loading of the whole page (including some PHP conditions that may or may not be needed if we were only receiving the posts in the response).
- Armando J.
Hi Armando,
No, it doesn’t have anything in common with such a long response time. As we have for example such clients sites that are using our filters for more than 6k products and everything is working fast for example here – https://chaneysjewelry.com/shop/category-fashion-jewelry/
Everything is based on the plugin set that you are using for your site and server hardware, plus database optimizations and in general site optimizations. It is not triggering anything else just returning the HTML of a few kilobytes.
Best Regards.
- Victor
Thank you, Victor! I understand. If those sites are fast to start with, then loading the page’s HTML will be fast as well. If the site is slow (because of plugins, etc) then it will be slow to get the HTML back. I don’t think your plugin is the issue, I was just trying to understand if you were querying the page or not, now I know.
Thank you in advance for your help! We have been using this plugin for several months without any problems. We have 1 filter set (Products) containing 11 Filters. Added another today, assigned it to an attribute, gave it a proper title, proper prefix and assigned view as “checkbox”. The same process as we have completed previously. When clicking update, it appears to save and the filter is still visible. However, when navigating away/back to the plugin settings – the new filter is no longer visible. I checked the database, and it does not appear. For testing, we have tried downgrading WP to 6.0, installing newest version of Filter Everything Pro as well as checking for conflicts against other plugins to no avail. Additionally, tested several versions of PHP – the newest being 8.0.29. Is there something that might be causing the filter not to save?
Hi jmoseman,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Please, send us credentials to your /wp-admin following this document so we can check it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thank you Sir.
I PM’d you credentials to login Sir.
Hi jmoseman,
Everything is simple you just need to activate the plugin license in order to add new filters or update them. If you go to the filter set and hit update you’ll see this error – https://prnt.sc/PfxmWeogAnQ0 in order to make it work please activate the license.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Oh wow. Figures it would be something simple like that. Question – for this client/website we have a staging domain for it. Same project/domain otherwise for testing before pushing to production. Would we need another license in order for that to work? Or deactivate / activate as needed? Thoughts? Don’t mind buying another license…just looking for the optimal solution.
Hi jmoseman,
By default you can use the license key on 2 sites, one is for dev, and the second on production. If you want to use it on another site you can deactivate it on an unneeded site and use the license on your current one.
If you don’t remember or don’t have access to the old domain where the plugin was activated, you can send via PM your license key so we can deactivate it on our side from all of the domain names. And you can manually activate it on the needed sites.
Best Regards.

Is it possible to select several items simultaneously and not filter until the apply button is clicked?
Hi elmondelatele,
You can turn on the “Apply Button” mode in the filter set settings. But after choosing each filter option they should be updated to show the correct and updated information, then click Apply and the filters will be applied to the items on the page.
Choose simultaneously more than one option need custom coding and checkings in order to prevent errors.
Best Regards,

Hi! Quick question. If I use check boxes for category with hierarchy is it possible that first category show products that are in subcategories? At this moment first main category don’t show products when filtered. Like woocommerce shows products from last category in all tree.
Hi Dotitlv,
Sure but you need to do it correctly, add all of the products to the main category, in our example, it is Electronics – https://prnt.sc/VHoO94-c8Txj Then separate those products for each subcategory.
Best Regards.

Hi Stepasyuk,
I have a question for you. I use your plugin to display product filters based on woocommerce product terms. I have a filter ‘color’ and a filter ‘size’.
Above the filters, i want to display a general title: ‘filters’. I can do this with simple html of course, but in some cases, there are no filters available (some categories contain products that don’t have color or size terms). How can i hide the title in that case?
Is there a hook or function available for this? This seems very simple to me but i just cant figure it out.
thank you!
Kees
Hi Kees,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Here is the thing, if you have filters and they all have titles you can turn on this option – https://prnt.sc/w5oq6qCGdK8a so if the filter won’t contain any terms or they will be (0) it will be completely hidden with it’s title.
If you want to create a custom title for all of the filters and depending on whether certain categories have such attributes or not hide them or show them, then you need to write a custom code with such logic.
Please note, that we don’t provide or debug custom codes as it is out of the scope of support policy here on CodeCanyon.
Best Regards.
- Victor
Hi Victor,
Hm that is kinda what I expected. I think it would be great to have a function like this:
<?php if( filters_are_available() ){ // custom content } ?>
This makes it easy to add some content like a title and description above the filters, that hides when no filters are available.
Maybe you can add this in the future.
Thanks!
Thank you for the idea – we’ll add it to the list to implement in the future. We will let you know in this comment thread when this feature is going to be added.
Best Regards.

Hi, is it possible to force a category to be selected by default?
Hi amith458,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
It is possible, but only via a URL with a filter’s part in it.
In general, there is no support for accounts whose support period has expired following the support policy. But we can help you later after all requests from accounts with valid support periods 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.
Best Regards.
- Victor
Thanks so much for your reply Victor. I’ll setup URL redirection. I hope there will be a solution in the plugin itself in future.
I’ll be buying your plugin again early next week for an another project. This is a great plugin with awesome support.
Yeah, we are constantly adding new features and functionality to the plugin, and there are plans to make it easier as well in the future.
Best Regards,

Hi Victor, I have bought the plugin for another website now. I tried the redirection but ended up looping. Can you kindly help to force the following request :- https://example.com/project/ to https://example.com/project/para-in/
Hi amith458,
Can you explain in more detail what is the “para-in”? Because “project” is a page and that’s understandable.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor, para is filter url slug and “in” is a pre-selected value.
For eg- I would like to force the default filter onsale to yes in the following url https://demo.filtereverything.pro/shop/onsale-yes/
Well, this is not an easy task, since the filter is redirecting you from one page to another with preselected filter terms. What you can do is make sure that “on-sale” is always the last in the URL – https://prnt.sc/Kdc_2SpYafpd here on screenshot it is in the middle. To make it last in the URL go here – https://prnt.sc/YpBiJoAfMdah and drag it to the bottom of the list. And write a custom JS for the Apply Button, that will add “on-sale” to the generated link:
mysite.com/shop/apple/gray/ + “on-sale/”
Then you will be redirected to the page with preselected on-sale and all other applied filter terms.
If you want by default have preselected on-sale on the home page and don’t need redirection to another page (because the home page is the main shop page) then you need to add the on-sale url part to the home page URL.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thanks for the reply Victor. I do not need redirection to another page since users will directly visiting the homepage which is the main shop page. Is there a way to force “on-sale-yes” when they visit “https://demo.filtereverything.pro/shop/” to “https://demo.filtereverything.pro/shop/on-sale-yes”. The website is going into loop when I try this.
I’m able to achieve this with redirection plugin but I would prefer to do it via .htaccess to avoid additional plugin
Hi amith458,
You can try to do it with .htaccess writing rule something like:
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^$ /onsale-yes/ [R=301,L]
Please note that this is just an example and not a ready solution. You need to create the rule for your own needs.
Best Regards,

Hi Antonio,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Please send us the link to the page with the issue and the price filter settings. Also, it can be the issue that you didn’t choose the correct option in “And what to filter”. Or you have no products with price yet.

Yes we have many product and prices we are restyling a old website and not is in test mode.

Hello. I have a Porto theme. H1 doesn’t work, everything else works fine. How to solve this?
In the topic below, you mentioned that your plugin is compatible with the Porto theme. https://codecanyon.net/item/filter-everything-wordpress-woocommerce-filter/31634508/comments?page=94&filter=all#comment_28412952Hi gorecwp,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Displaying SEO entities depends on the hooks your active theme uses. If it doesn’t use standard WordPress theme hooks some entities may not be displayed (as it is in your case). We can only provide you with a list of hooks that are used for certain SEO entities:
// For SEO title add_filter( 'wp_title', array( $this, 'wpTitle' ), 15 ); // For the Meta description add_action( 'wp_head', array( $this, 'filtersWpHead' ), 1 ); // For H1 title one of these hooks add_filter( 'woocommerce_page_title', array( $this, 'seoH1'), -5 ); add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', array( $this, 'seoH1'), -5 ); add_filter( 'post_type_archive_title', [$this, 'seoH1'], -5 ); add_filter( 'elementor/utils/get_the_archive_title', [$this, 'seoH1'], -5 );
If some of them are not displayed on your site it means you have to check if your theme uses these hooks. And write the code for your hooks.
Here is an example of how you can do it (it was made for the single_term_title hook):
add_action('wp_head', 'wpc_add_filters_seo_h1');
function wpc_add_filters_seo_h1(){
if( class_exists( 'FilterEverything\Filter\Container' ) ){
$seoFrontEnd = FilterEverything\Filter\Container::instance()->getSeoFrontendService();
add_filter( 'single_term_title', [ $seoFrontEnd, 'seoH1' ] );
}
}
Best Regards.

Hi, thank you for the great plugin. I am using bricks loop and all filtering there is working great (https://inparfum.dewelloop.com/obchod/) but if I go to category page (https://inparfum.dewelloop.com/kategoria-produktu/pre-muza/) proper category is checked by default but if I click on other filter the products are not updating anymore. Is there any special practice I need to follow? I turned off AJAX and tried all query options but no luck so far. Thank you so much
Hi MichalGazdik,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
The thing is that the first link and the second as well are not filtering, and there can be a couple of reasons why, caching that cache absolutely everything and creating an issue to work with WP_Query. Plugins that make a copy of the WP_Query and use it to show products on the page, in that case again making issues to work with the needed query.
Try to turn off 50% of the plugins and update the filter set each time to test if everything is working, if it didn’t help turn off more plugins by updating the filter set and testing it until you find the plugin that brings issues to workability to the plugin.
Best Regards.

Hello again, on https://funky-monkey.be/winkel/categorie-meisjes/maat-104/ there should be 127 results (indicated correctly on the page) but only 29 are shown. What can be the cause of this?
I am using the freelancer license.
Nevermind… caching. Can you tell me how often and when caching is cleared? It’s not mentioned in the docs.
Hi taggbh,
Sometimes after update of your posts counters in the filter terms are not changing, and you need to reset the internal plugin’s cache.
You need to open any page of your site with the: ?reset_filters_cache=true parameter added to its URL. For example https://example.com/?reset_filters_cache=true.
After that, all the filter terms cached by the plugin and their counters will be updated and get their current values.
There is no auto-cache reset. So you need to do it manually or write some custom code to do so. But we are planning to change it to a more comfortable way with future updates.
Best Regards,
- Victor
We are importing products every day, sometimes multiple times. How can we programatically clear the cache?
You can configure cron on the server, which will periodically open the site with the cache reset option in the URL. Or you can add this behavior in the importing code, so right after it’s finished, it should open a site with the cache reset option in the URL.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Can’t we do this with a function? We have an action available especially for such events.
Hi taggbh,
Good news, yes you can. And here is an example of the code of how you can do it:
if ( class_exists( '\FilterEverything\Filter\Plugin' ) ) {
$fe = new \FilterEverything\Filter\Plugin();
$fe->resetTransitions();
}
Best Regards,

Hi lukasj7,
Can you please remove the permission to watch the screenshot that you made so we can check it?

Hi lukasj7,
Does the page have any widgets that can display the filter set? or did you use the filter widget shortcode to display it? If not, try to add a shortcode on the needed page: [fe_widget]

Hello,
I have a question before buying the PRO version. Is it possible to put a step-by-step filter on the homepage and then when I click Apply, that we get to the shop page?
I need to get something like this done, like on this website: https://www.elektromotor.nl/. You can see 4 steps right below the picture here. During these steps, you can set filters and eventually the desired product comes out.
I hope this is possible with your plug-in.
Kind regards, Michel Rikkert
Hi rockdesignnl,
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
You can make a step-by-step filter like in this demo – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/step-by-step-filtering/ just turn on the apply button mode for redirection to the shop page.
If you want to create something close like on the page you provided the link to us, in that case, you need to use custom coding and styling by changing the filter templates.
Best Regards.

where can i find older versions for download of the plugin?
Hi wimb48,
The free versions you can find any version here – https://wordpress.org/plugins/filter-everything/advanced/
If you want an older version of PRO version, by your request, we can provide a specific version.
Best Regards.
- Victor
Thanks Victor, we had problems with the PRO version 7.14. It did not filter anymore. So we wanted to try version 7.11 (Pro)
Well if the filter isn’t working correctly the older version of it barely can solve the issues. But, please send a message via PM so we can send you a link for the needed version there.

Yeah, it should work absolutely great, as long as the products/items/posts and any other things that you want to filter are displayed by the WP_Query.

Hello
I’m using this plugin for my website product page side bar. And here’s the sample url: https://eyeconzmedia.com/ideali2/product-category/appliances/cooker-hoods/
Yet after I click apply button, there’s a warning box says’it appears that this page does not contain a container with the specified<HTML id or class of the Posts Container>’ (screenshot as the dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/djywll1rhd3jvn2fpm98o/warning.png?rlkey=c85gacwxmq36lulqxbgmmc00m&dl=0)
How should I solve this issue?
Hi eyethalics,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
It’s even hard to place a cursor on the apply button because this menu for some reason is appearing – https://prnt.sc/Xjdeu22i43IC
But to fix your problem you need to specify here – https://prnt.sc/wT0ACT4BuDLM the class or id of your products container.
Best Regards.
- Victor
Hi Victor, thank you for your reply. Based on my website, is it possible to help us find what class or id should I put in? I tried several class but not working
Hi eyethalics,
Try to use #main but we would recommend giving a specific id tag to your product container element.

Hello
I have the problem that the button to show the filter in the mobile version is displayed on all pages of the website whether they contain filters or not. To check it you have to visit the website with a mobile device.
Here you can check it: https://is.gd/yV5yNd
The filter is configured like this. Apply filtering if page is: Common Wordpress pages – All archive pages for this Post Type
How can I avoid this?
Hi xaifu,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
You need to go to Filters -> Settings -> Experimental -> and enable this option – https://prnt.sc/xkB1dOFQzMPN and simply place the button on the needed page with a shortcode – [fe_open_button] more about shortcodes you can read here – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/

Hello,
We are looking into your plugin and I have few quesitons
1. I was wondering if the range filter could be different than price? for example our products have strenght in percentages (10%, 15%, 24%) and we would like to know if we could use the range filter /slider/ but instead of sorting prices we can sort the strenght instead?
2. Our products have different avaialability – available now, avaialable within 5-7 days and not avaialable – is it possible to set up that type of filter too?
3. Also we are looking for example let say the customer filter by strenght 10% and the products that are showing we would like to show them to the customer by their avaialability of course first will pop up products available immediately then the ones available within 5-7 days and on the last place not available products
4. We have extracts and flowers, if the customer choose from the drop down exracts we want to show him products in mg within the mg range/slide filter, but if the customer choose flower we want to show him percentages within the percentage range/slide filter, is that achievable?
Thanks
Hi lorencosmith,
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
1. As long as it is just a numeric custom field with values 10, 15, 24 and so on it will work, but if it is a product attribute won’t work as a range slider as they all have their own slug.
2. As long as it is a taxonomy or custom field or attribute it should work. If it is just some type of description then it won’t work. It all depends on how it is implemented.
3. Such sorting has to be done with custom coding, there is no such functionality out-of-the-box.
4. Such functionality with changing the range sliders depending on the chosen option is also only can be reached by custom coding.
Best Regards.
