I have a CPT created with ACF. My customer want to represent their product price range with dollar signs $,$$,$$$, etc. These are set in a select field drop down in the ACF.
When I try to filter this field, it displays a “There are no filter terms yet” or a “N/A” message. If I add the word test as one of the select options, that displays just fine in the filter.
Can you suggest what I can try to display/use the dollar signs? Do I need a value:label pair in the fields settings, or do I need to encode the dollar sign? Thank you!
Tried some encodings and value:label combinations with no success – %24 and $ don’t work. Anything that displays the $ symbol in the filter says there’s no terms…
Hi bluerobotllc,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
A bit confused about what you want to achieve, can you send a reference to what you want to create?
The price range filter works by a numeric custom field, which means only numbers. If you add a text custom field and write something like 100$ it will be displayed like that in the filter but it won’t work as a range filter because it is text already. If you want to add a dollar sign at the end of the numbers then check the template overriding – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/templates-overriding/ maybe you can create a needed look.

Hi Victor, I have a CPT field that is set using a select field to be one these four strings made of dollar symbols: https://prnt.sc/stnWbZIrTkwb $ $$ $$$ $$$$
We want it to be like this filter: https://prnt.sc/02cE79I-RBBI
When I create filter on the field containing the dollar symbols, I get the “There are no filter terms yet” message, or a “N/A” when I have another filter selected. https://prnt.sc/RGqSQLb7HeVR https://prnt.sc/Ccv23MLwXC9RWhat can I do?
Follow this step-by-step guide:
1. Create an ACF field – https://prnt.sc/EkZdK1d3RhTl (you already have it so use value and label like it is in the screenshot)
2. Add this code in the functions.php file and use your custom field meta keys (it will show labes instead of a value in a filter):
// Add the filter hook
add_filter('wpc_filter_post_meta_term_name', 'wpc_acf_labels_instead_of_values', 20, 2);
// The callback function for the filter
function wpc_acf_labels_instead_of_values($term_name, $meta_key)
{
//Place your meta keys here that you want to display labels
$meta_keys = array('dollar_sign', 'another-meta-key', 'third-meta-key');
if (in_array($meta_key, $meta_keys)) {
if (function_exists('acf_get_field')) {
$field = acf_get_field($meta_key);
if ($field) {
$field_key = $field['key'];
$new_choices = [];
if (isset($field['choices']) && !empty($field['choices'])) {
foreach ($field['choices'] as $key => $value) {
$new_key = mb_strtolower($key);
$new_choices[$new_key] = $value;
}
$term_name_test = mb_strtolower($term_name);
if (isset($new_choices[$term_name_test])) {
$term_name = $new_choices[$term_name_test];
}
}
}
}
}
return $term_name;
}
3. Add a filter to your filter set by your meta key and hit update – https://prnt.sc/sQkqYCeZjbM4 (if you already have a filter set with the filter by that meta key still update it)
4. Done – https://prnt.sc/tzFJ-f8cUn3G

I’ve got it working – thank you for putting this together.
Only detail is there are no (0) counters for this field – https://prnt.sc/Dp5pFdLB4Yra
Hi bluerobotllc,
Please add a bit more information on the “Only detail is there are no (0) counters for this field” which field, how and why, and where so we can understand it better because right now it is a bit confusing. The more information you will give the faster we can resolve the issue.

Dear team,
we are working on a webshop and use your filter. We are very happy with it. Now we would like that when we filter by category, this is actually reflected in the url. How do we do this? If you opt for red wine, we want this to come back literally: www.website.nl/rode-wijn. Now we need to enter a slug for the category we don’t want at all under the settings. Do you know how we can achieve this?
Thank you in advance!
Regards, Markoning
Hi Markoning,
The reason we implemented it this way was to avoid conflicts with the WooCommerce plugin and even WP. If we had approached it differently, there could have been a situation where both plugins attempted to display items simultaneously, leading to errors and other conflict issues.
By designing it in this manner, we ensure that each plugin knows its specific role and doesn’t interfere with the other’s functionality. This enhances the overall stability and performance of your website, allowing it to work seamlessly without conflicting with each other.

Standard Woocommerce filtering doesn’t work anymore?
We are using Filter Everything to create a filter on the home page, this works great! On the shop page however we still want to use standard Woocommerce filter widgets. Is this possible? Thanks in advance, Martin
Hi BOEI17,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
No, it is working here both of the filters are on the same page, the red one is WooCoomerce and the green is our filter Filter Everything – https://prnt.sc/9XFcksVz7pTo Both are working normally without any troubles. Perhaps you have some issues with setting up the WooCoomerce filter or some other plugin is conflicting with it.
Best Regards,

Thanks for your quick reply Victor. It is working now after we changed the prefix settings in the Filter Everything plugin.
Glad to hear that everything is working fine now.

Hi. I have set up a filter that works based (filter portfolio items by curtom field). Although when I tryed to do a seconf filter with similar characteristics (portfolio items and filter by other custom fields) i allways get the response: “there are no filters item yet”. I have configured the new page where the filter should work, as also configure the new custom fields in similar manner as i did with the first field. Can you help me? Thanks
Hi filipecerca,
Did you apply those custom fields to the posts? Maybe you did some mistake in the meta key field in the filter?
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor. Thank you. Yes, i have applyed the custom fields to each post (in this case it is a portfolio item). I have also careful in review the metakey filld. Similar to what i have done in the previous working filter. Also, the filter show the ACF fields but when i select an option, nothing happens and the selected option disappears. I have done all the same as i did for a functional filter in the seme site. Thank you
Hi filipecerca,
Please send us the link to the page with the issue so we can check it.
It can happen due to different factors. For example, you could create a custom field with its name (meta key) and then decide to rename it. It will be renamed in the ACF but it won’t be renamed in the database, but the filter is getting data from the database based on the name of the key that you have put, the new name (meta key) which doesn’t have any records in the database. You can either rename all the meta keys in the database to the needed one or delete the custom field and create a new one with the new name.
You can check in the database what values are stored by your meta key.
Best Regards,

Thank you for the fast response. The filter that works: https://algoritmd.com/med/ ... the filter that does not work: https://algoritmd.com/dinamica/
We have checked the page, and there are no errors in the console or any other pointers to the issues, most likely it can be the wrong query in the “And what to filter” dropdown.
If it won’t fix the issue, then please send us the credentials to your /wp-admin following this document so we can check it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor. I just have sent the credencials to access wp-admin.
Hi filipecerca,
Since you removed the ability to install plugins, please install the UpdraftPlus plugin and create backups with it of DB, Plugins, and Themes.
We need to have the ability to work with backups if something goes wrong during fixing the issue. So we can go back and restore the previous state. When you will install it and make all of the backups let us know here in this comment thread, so we can get back and begin fixing it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor. You can start working/fixing it. I have already backups of the site. Let me know when you solve this issue. Thanks!
We have fixed the issue, seems like there were some URL prefixes issues with renaming it and then duplication with deleting which caused this behavior. We cleared them all and now everything is working good.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Excelent work Victor. Thanks. Although in the same page (www.algoritmd.com/dinamica) when i try to use the filter with a portfolio grid (instead of the magazine item) the filter does not work. Can you please check this?
Yes, of course here is the problem – https://prnt.sc/OnEqO8H8YpCk you just migrated from https to http.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thank you. Sorry, but i didn’t understood. How can I fix this? The page is the same (https://algoritmd.com/dinamica). I Just change the item magazine for the portfolio grid. With the magazine, the filter works. With the portfolio grid it does not works
Good, now you are back on the https, and we updated the filter set and everything is working. But for those graphics to appear seems like they are using AJAX or something else and should be triggered on filter term allying. More about it you can read here – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-related-problems/ If you will turn off AJAX it will work since the page is refreshed and everything is triggered by page refreshing.

Hello Guys, we can not seem to save the search field with all the other filters already set and working.
Please advise on how to force this, it shows as it’s already saved, but when we refresh, clear cache, remove any temp files it’s not really saving this Search field setting.
Is there some type of hard limit of how this works with a larger set of filters? https://filtereverything.pro/resources/search-field/
Thank you and best regards…
Hi ingenuitor,
Check your plugin status, if it is “Locked” then you need to activate the license in order to make changes in the filter set.
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.

Update to the previous answer, also, make sure that you are using the last version of the plugin which is v1.7.14.

Hello!
I really like this addon, however, we seem to be having an issue. We have the free version that we were testing with before purchasing. We are able to create a filter and have it show on our page without any problems, the issue seems to be related to the AJAX. When we have it enabled and select a filter, it looks to filter with no problem but it just keeps spinning and never finishes. We have to reload the page to get it to disappear. We would love to find this issue before purchasing to ensure it is going to work. Thanks for your assistance!
Hi JVennard81,
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
There is no “one way” to fix this issue, as it is unique to each case, AJAX requests can be blocked on the site, or other plugins conflict, custom code, and other stuff. If it is working without AJAX then a plugin is working and set up correctly. If not the plugin filter set setup wasn’t made correctly. And then step-by-step try to debug and find the reason why AJAX isn’t working correctly on your site.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Update to the previous answer, in the case of purchasing the PRO version, you’ll have 6 months of support, so we can help to fix this AJAX issue.
But as long you are using the Free version, you can write your request on the WordPress support forum – https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/filter-everything/ and wait for an answer there.

Hi! I like the new search field. But the results are wrong if the search word is not found. If nothing is found, there should be a message saying “Search result is empty”. Now, it just shows the post of the last query. Another way to try it: search for a word that exists. Then search for a test word. The result will be the same has before. That’s confusing. Any advice for that? Thanks!

License seems to have been deleted and not accepted when I re-enter it. This needs to be fixed.
Hi pjverrone,
In order to check the issue and try to fix it, we need the following things from you:
1. Credentials to your /wp-admin following this document
2. And your license key.

Sent via PM. Tested account access. Sent basic auth creds as well.
Hi pjverrone,
Thank you for the credentials.
Please, note that the License key and CodeCanyon purchase code are different things.
To set the License key, please go to Filters -> Settings -> License, click 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. That is the license key that we need.

Hi, I’m using Elementor Pro with an Astra Theme and Filter Everything Pro. I have a filter set filtering Posts by Categories. That works well. But on the page where I put the Elementor Pro Posts Block, the filtering stops working when I add the Query into Elementor: “Source Posts – Include: Term – Term: Categories: Industry.” I need a way to only show one category on an Elementor page that we can then filter with Filter Everything Pro. My invoice number is Invoice: IVIP51344484 and I purchased last week. Many thanks. Al

Hi amcquade,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Try in the “And what to filter” dropdown choose another query, and lets us know if it fixed the issue.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor, thanks for coming back to me. Yes, I agree, that was what I was thinking, but it only allows me to select ‘Post Query’ there are no other options. Have I hit a setting somewhere that is restricting the available options?
Hi amcquade,
In order to check the functionality we have created a simulation of what you want to achieve, created a couple of posts, and add them to different categories with tags – https://prnt.sc/_0Sm_RRrLYfE
Set up the filter by tags – https://prnt.sc/mqsoH9P1XOxv
Config the Elementor post query to show posts from one category which is “aaaaaaaaaa” – https://prnt.sc/_f4wBdUsl1_n
How it is looking on front – https://prnt.sc/8Y9QhA8XrjFE
And filtering is working as well – https://prnt.sc/zUbsiEoH4RLw
So as you see everything is working well, perhaps you made a mistake with the Elementor posts query settings.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor, thanks for coming back to me. I have identical settings to you in Elementor. The elementor query works as desired so that’s not the problem. Your plugin will only work when there is no elementor query. Is that something you’ve seen before? As per my question, I’m wondering if I’ve got a setting in your plugin set incorrectly that may be causing this conflict.
Hi Victor, the plugin has started working. It started after I played around with the ‘View in Widget settings’. So all good, again thanks for coming back to me.
Good to hear that everything is back to normal and working.

Hello, where can I find some instructions about how to make the filter appear?

Hi Nice plugin, but we have a problem when used with Polylang and Yoast SEO all pages are empty, we have to empty rewrite rules using permalink to make page content appear, and after a short period ‘1 or 2 days’ pages became empty again…
Hi CecileGuyart,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Let us guess, you are using Elementor and an additional plugin for Elementor (or Polylang) to make it work together? And sometimes the page is disappearing. But we had such a case previously and we fully deleted our plugin and the issue was appearing from time to time again. It has nothing to do with our plugin, even a different order of plugin activation/deactivation could create this issue or remove it and etc.
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 for your reply, it is indeed a problem of activation order between Polylang and Filter Everything, if you activate Filter Everything first and then Polylang pages are displayed empty, it is systematic and easily reproducible, which is also a problem when updating these plugins, hence the random aspect of this issue, thank you for your support proposal I will wait until you are available, Polylang is widely used and I think this malfunction is a major problem.
here is the demo on an empty wordpress instance : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KU6xh4xSdBV0FtgHgqTo2ajiKbgabhGf/view?usp=sharingHi CecileGuyart,
Can you provide access to your site via FTP (where you tested the activation of plugins in different orderings)? This would help diagnose the problem.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Update to the answer, please send it via PM.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor, did you received the PM? I’ve sent you the link to a github repository with all the files and identifiers for a test instance.
Hi CecileGuyart
Thank you for using the Filter Everything PRO and for your bugreport.
We faced with such issue before and usually the reason was that one of term or post slugs on a site matched to a filter URL-prefix and this generated some confusion within WordPress. Usually the issue could be solved by editing suspicous URL-prefixes.
If you still have this issue on your site I recommend you to check URL prefixes in Filters -> Settings -> URL Prefixes and if some of them potentially could match to post or term slugs on your site. And to change them to something another if they matches. This should help you to solve the issue.
Thank you. Regards.
Hi Stepasyuk
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1535YnXvfmaAK2CRl9Ae-4M86KomYiPLi/view?usp=sharingAs you can see from this video, it’s not a problem related to prefixes. I’ve tried it on an empty instance of wordpress with Polylang and Filter Everything, and the same result with Yoast seo, there is an issue with activation order or something else causing instability on our customer sites …

Hello,
I need to create a filter menu dropdown for 4 parent categories showing the subcategories in each parent category. Each parent category should be in one box to order the items.
I tried to create one different filter for all the parent categories, but is not showing all the parent categories at the time. Now is just showing one parent category.
I need to create something like this: https://www.auslandsjob.de/jobs/job_type-vollzeit/job_filter_country-europa/ the example of horizontal filter. I want to show the parent category in a single box. Now I cant do it in one filter, because it doesnt let me choose two times the portfolio category.
Hi helefante,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
There is no ability to create a separate dropdown for each subcategory. You can create one filter for categories and the rest filters as attributes(custom fields) with dropdowns. It is exactly how it was made on the site you are referring to.
Best Regards,
- Victor
This type of layout that im working on: https://codespa.helefantest.com/proyectos-sociales I founded a way to show the parent category and its subcategories, but sometimes it doesnt show all the projects linked to the category. Is there a solution?
It won’t work normally as there is no such functionality at the time, the only way to create categories add needed posts in those categories, then add custom fields for those posts with checkboxes as an example, and choose the needed post to have the needed values and create a step by step filter like this:
Category filter -> Área de especialización (new custom field) -> Estado (new custom field) -> Año (new custom field)
At the time there is no possibility to make 4 or more dropdowns for each parent category or in any other way. It will be shown just as one filter.
Best Regards,
- Victor
I have created 4 custom labels with similiar structure of the parent category and subcategory items. Now I can see correctly the filters, but they are not showing correctly the results, what could be the reason? Is in the same page: https://codespa.helefantest.com/proyectos-sociales/
Thank you.
Perhaps you choose the wrong query in the filter set settings, check the “And what to filter” choose the correct query, and hit update – https://prnt.sc/4cwaE44zVdXJ

Hi, thank you for your support, the filters are showing correctly. On thursday I have added some styles by css. Today I was checking and it doesnot show correctly. The class select2 it doesnt appear and in the configuration of the plugin is selected the option: jQuery plugin Select2.
Do you know why this class have changed?
Hi helefante,
Hard to say what type of styling you have applied and if you modified the templates and you don’t have any arrows in your dropdowns. Also, there are some errors in the console that we would recommend to check. In general, just try to turn off all of the custom styling maybe custom coding and update filter settings. Such behavior can be only caused by custom changes/codes.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi, I didnt edit the plugin documents template. I have created another stylesheet for this adjustments.
I have detected that the class select2 it has dissapeer from the code. I have made the style changes from the classes that were affeccting the items I needed, so now it doesn´t look good because its not present the class select2.
I know I can change de selectors and it could show again with the styles, but i’m afraid that it can change another time…

Hi CooloNL,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Hey Stepasyuk, I’ve got a strange situation where the plugin’s dynamic page title, content, and SEO description have stopped working. The setup was working perfectly, then just stopped. I have the site in a dev environment where I’ve deactivated all other plugins, set a default theme, and removed any custom code, but it still isn’t working. I’m seeing no errors in the console, debug.log, or error.log. I’ve tried debugging with `console.log` similar to the one below but getting nothing to help debug this. The environment is running PHP 8.0, WP 6.2.2, and FEP 1.7.14. I’ve tried downgrading the WP through the various version back to 5.9.5 and both downgrading and upgrading the PHP versions. I can’t share the URL in a public forum due to an NDA. How else can I debug this?
``` jQuery(document).on(‘ready’, function(){ console.log(‘Filter Everything Pro AJAX operation finished’); }); ```
Hi danmaby,
Please check the plugin status if it is locked or registered. If it is locked then you need to activate the plugin with the license key in order to make the SEO rules work again.

Hi Dan,
We have checked the site and found that there was no issue. The solution is to enable indexing for search engines from the WP Admin Dashboard. Once this setting is adjusted, everything started functioning properly.

Thank you for reviewing this Victor. I hadn’t considered the global setting to prevent search engines from indexing the site might cause this. I appreciate your help.
