Hello

Plugin seems nice, but the filtering on elementor pages dont seem to work. So we have archive template designed in Elementor PRO for a custom post type that we have, and we have set up filters for Languages, and States (both are ACF filters basically).

When we try to filter content on archive page, if ajax is enabled – it gives popup that system couldnt find the specified ID or CSS class for post container – even though we have provided that Post ID in both places – the plugin main settings and the filter settings. We tried both with ID and CSS class but same result, when ajax is enabled it gives that popup message, that it couldnt find the ID or CSS Class.

When Ajax is disabled, there is no popup, plugin tries to reload the posts based on filter, but nothing changes, no actual filtering is happening, it just displays the same posts.

Please advice. P.S. We have most recent versions of Elementor, Elementor PRO and Filter Everything plugin installed.

Hi Zrabo,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

You need to specify the correct query in the “And what to filter” in the filter set settings. About class or id, you need to open the needed page and check the container of your products/posts with dev tools inspect to understand what calss or id it is have.

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.

Hi Victor

Thank you for the response, appreciate it. I do know my period for support is expired. However, even though I purchased plugin like 9 months ago, this is the first time I install and used it.

I do have the correct query in settings, and both ID and Class was on the page when I checked it (several times).

So, It doesnt look like anything is wrong with my settings per se, but some kind of issue with the plugin.

Please advice. Thank you

Hi Zrabo,

When selecting the popup version for the filter on mobile, it only shows the filter on the main shop of the page, not any other subcategory shops (woocommerce); When I disable the popup setting, it shows correctly on mobile as well; On desktop it shows at any time;

I have tried the compatibility mode, and any/all combination of relevant settings in the plugin; Nothing else works; I have also tried any/all possible paths for the filter… (The “where to filter” option)

Of course my goal is to have a working filter… Kind of amusing (in a very frustrating way) that the moment I purchase the “pro” version I start having problems with the functionality… As a note, right after updating the plugin with the pro version, it stops displaying anywhere, since the “where to filter” settings get bonked? Or I really don’t know

Usually, it can happen when this option is turned on – https://prnt.sc/DunBx2k_xqxs and you have a shortcode for the mobile button. But was it completely removed from HTML or just hidden? Or maybe some widgets area was hidden on mobile. This is a very weird behavior that never encountered before. We just tested it on our site and everything is working as well. Perhaps the reusable block was causing such behavior. Hard to give any advice, need to simulate the same situation in order to check it and find the root of the problem.

Dear Victor,

That option was never turned on in my case, so I do not think it has to do with it; I would have to recreate the bug in order to see if it was removed or just hidden from HTML.. I only added the reusable block AFTER it stopped displaying, in an attempt to fix it. Normally the filter block is inside the sidebar template part which I would add to the pages.

I am using the Spectra theme, and I have noticed some issues regarding the widgets area in the “customize” option for wp dashboard (in appearance) – (Your theme has X other widget areas, but this particular page doesn’t display). I have to manually copy the code from the widgets (in appearance) to the sidebar in template parts (in appearance -> editor) in order to get it to work.

However, that would mean that the widget area on mobile has a problem with product category pages of the shop but not with the main shop page itself, since I could always see the popup filter there.

Just a hunch, are there any settings that internally change when upgrading the plugin to PRO? (besides the options/settings that show up in the plugin settings) Since also, right after updating the plugin, the filter stopped showing anywhere, and I had to change the “where to filter” option to something else, save, and then change it back to the correct path as it normally was, in order to get the filter to display.

This is all that I can think of, I hope it can help you make a more conclusive decision; For now, it is working, and I don’t want to be stuck with it not showing up again; I will try to pay extra close attention and if it ever happens again I hope to have additional useful information for you

Hi amdxdbby,

The free version displays the filter set on archive pages, such as the shop archive page, categories archive page and etc. When you install the PRO version you can choose common WordPress pages + all Archive pages.

If you could provide credentials following this document it would be easier to check it and understand in which way you set up filter sets and where they should be shown and so on to provide more information.

PRESALES QUESTION – My client has a very complex e-commerce store. We are going to be building multiple taxonomies and custom attributes for the over 2.5K products.

The site is built with Beaver Builder

What is the strategy for implementing the “only show relevant filters” feature mentioned in your product description?

Can I dynamically add the relevant filter set to a single product archive page so that the store can be navigated through and the filters in the sidebar automatically change to reflect e.g. the category/product type?

Or do I have to either have multiple hard coded shortcodes (and rely on your plugin to only display the relevant one)?

Or is there some other approach which your documentation hasn’t covered.

The way this is implemented will be a key factor in deciding whether your plugin is the right tool for the job.

Many thanks

Hi michellemcdines1,

Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.

“What is the strategy for implementing the “only show relevant filters” feature mentioned in your product description?”

It means that you can create unique filter sets and place them in the needed category. Basically can create one filter set for the electronics category second one for the furniture category and etc. So when you’ll scroll through different categories you’ll see different filter sets.

The shortcode only displays the filter widget, there is no possibility to create a filter set with a shortcode. In the filter set setting “Where to filter” dropdowns you can specify where the filter will be displayed.

Best Regards,
- Victor

So does that mean I have to create different archives or pages for each product category? What I am trying to achieve is a seamless transition so that as visitors navigate through the shop, the sidebar filters change automatically to the relevant filters for that product type/category.

Hi michellemcdines1,

No, you just need to create a Filter Set and place it in the needed category – https://prnt.sc/ihRtcIq7X3es then create another filter set and place it in another category.

Hi there, I have been using filter everything for a while and just purchased the Pro so that I can use the pop up widget on mobile, however the toggled filter container gets misplaced (Just above the products) compared to where the filter is when I deselect the pop up widget (aligned within the container). When on a category or tag page, this also means the heading of the tag appears above the filter. Please could you assist? winedrop.co.za/shop (as mentioned I have deactivated the pop up so will only see where the filter toggle is meant to be)

Another query is when opening the filter the odd dropdown is already expanded instead of toggled from time to time after clearing the cache – is there a recommended setting to prevent this with WP rocket? Thank you

Hi geoffreyb13,

It is important to keep in mind that the License key and CodeCanyon purchase code are two different things.

If you need to set the License key for the Filter Everything PRO plugin, simply head to Filters -> Settings -> License and click the “Get your License Key” button.

It will take you to a new page where you can log in with your Envato credentials (with an account where you have purchased the plugin) and obtain your License key.

It is a simple process but if are having any issues (automatically logging in with another account) simply use incognito mode in your browser.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Thanks Victor, I have done it. Can you tell me when we have the filter everything Pro plugin active, can we safely delete the original “Filter Everything — WooCoomerce Product & WordPress Filter” plugin?

Hi geoffreyb13,

Yes, when you install the PRO version active you can delete the free version of the plugin.

Hi, I need to show on my search page two dropdowns, each of them will include several specific tags. For example, one dropdown will be Date and another one will be Speaker.

In this way, the user can choose to see the posts that include the tag “july 2022” and the tag “Dr David Marsh”

Is it possible to do this using this plugin, PRO version?

Hi carmen-canada,

Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.

Yes, it is possible, but you need to separate them, for example, choose tags to display only the “date” or the “name” because if you set up everything in tags there is no possibility to separate them and make two dropdowns. That’s why you can choose tags for example for the “date” and create a custom field for the “name” and create two filters with a dropdown (one by tag and the second one by the custom field) where you can choose the date in first and the name in second.

Hi! I’m having trouble with my filter! The filter works on the category and browse-all page, but on the tag pages, it just shows only tags for one post to sort by, no matter what tag I’m on.

This one is working: https://inkfoundry.net/browse/ This one is broken: https://inkfoundry.net/tag/happy-ending/

Hi ERINCAIR,

We have checked the site, and first of all, if you are using posts what was the need to simply make a duplicate of it as “cards”? Cards are not separate from posts, and second of all the issues that query is different on those tag pages. If you specify the filter to certain tag page it is showing everything correctly, but if you choose all it will show correctly only on the first page, the rest would be incorrect as the queries are not the same on them. You need to change the approach in order to make it work correctly.

We tested it on our page and it is working absolutely alright on the tag pages – https://prnt.sc/rVl6fCeqVC57 because the query is the same and it is all good.

Best Regards,
- Victor

I put cards in to try and troubleshoot the issue. I spent a few more days messing around. I’m not a developer, this is my first website, so I don’t entirely understand what’s going on most of the time. I think the issue is with the query loops on the archive page? By pure monkey-on-typewriter bashing I managed to make it work. It’s still not perfect as it doesn’t show the correct counter or correct empty terms, but it filters everything correctly even with the pagination, which you pointed out was an issue. How it works, I don’t know, but hey :) I’ll count it as a win! Thanks so much for your help, I love this filter!

Hi ERINCAIR,

Yeah, it should work normally as one query, but because of the way of implementation, it is working a bit incorrectly. We would just use simple posts on the clean WordPress installation. Without creating any cards and so on, since it would be enough for you to have the needed functionality. It would be easier to keep it updated and stuff.

Also, we wanted to drop a quick note to let you know how impressed we are with the progress you did in fixing those things, that is really amazing. Keep up the fantastic job!

Good afternoon, today I bought the Filter Everything Pro, I want to know how to change the values to the slider range

Hi,

I have purchased the advance filter and i have hit a road block.

I setup the filter but then, i am stumped.

https://mylittlehealthstore.com/shop

already sent credentials

New issues, filter partially work. 1. product price slider and manual price selection does not work. 2. hidden categories is being shown. example “ingredients” are hidden, we use this for other functionality. 3. Product category and price is displayed side by side in two column, we need one column

1. We set up the price range slider (your prices are all 20 and one variation for 40) add more prices to check it.

2. We choose the option “Empty Terms” to “always hide” but you can go to the filter for more options and exclude the term that you don’t want to show.

3. Fixed as well, you choose that option in the Elementor with 2 columns.

After update to new loop grid in elementor, the filter not work

ex.

https://dev.banklider.com/paneles-solares/compania_paneles_solares-holaluz/

first block, old archive post + template plugin

second block with new loop grip + template elementor, not work

¿?

Hi dgcintas,

Go to the filter set setting and in the “And what to filter” choose the correct query. Please note that the plugin is working with the query.

Hello,

I’ve encountered a new FE bug on my site.

The filter no longer works: both the product categories and the price range no longer filter the page.

Can you please help me? Here’s the link to the page where the filter is: https://www.bmakeyounice.be/boutique/

Thanks Alessio

Done! Thanks :)

Hi afancello,

We have checked the site and changed the query in the “And what to filter” to the second one and everything is working. When you make some modifications on the filtered page, and so on, you might change the query as well, so all you need is just go to the filter set setting and specify the correct query, and hit update.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Thanks a lot for your help!

I already bought another license, but it doesn work. I can´t save the filter configuration 10a409e5-da32-493a-8210-9e2f522d2fd0 PLEASE FIX IT ASAP

https://emprendevillaitalia.com

Hi raixen,

Thank you for the credentials. We have checked the filter set and added a test filter and save the configuration and everything is working. Maybe the issue is that you are trying to add the filter with the same meta key or URL prefix then you will get an error – https://prnt.sc/MwhyfPeQ8-NP after hitting the update button.

Best Regards,
- Victor

It works ok because wpuserfrontend is on version 3.6.4. But if you update wpuserfrontend to version 3.6.7, filter every thing stops working. Take a look now.

Hi raixen,

We have checked the site, and we would be happy to help with the issue. But this is not a bug in our plugin but in the WPUF plugin. The thing is that the code there is written in such a way that it does not check for the presence of tinymce, but tries to call its method.

We would suggest asking WPUF support to fix this issue.

Hello, how can I buy multi-licence? I need this plugin for about 15 maybe 20 sites, but to buy that number of licences per 40 USD each is a bit too much for me. Can you offer me please some pricing rules? Thank you very much.

Hello Xtrodinary.

Thank you for using the Filter Everything PRO.

Please, write me PM and I will provide you with details how to get multi-license.

Thank you. Regards.

Hello Victor! I sent over the credentials to the email thread we have open. Thanks!

Thank you so much, Victor! I sent a reply via email.

pre purchase question I’m going to create fields in the ACF, of the simple select type, for a certain product category.

Can I use these blocks of ACF fields as a search filter, and that they are only displayed in the listings of certain categories?

Example print: https://prnt.sc/tvrbO0BzSKh2

There the options would be from an ACF selectable field. Is it possible and simple to do?

Hi samucavirtualite,

Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.

You can check the demo with ACF custom fields used for filtering – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/example/acf/

Yes, you have the ability to create multiple filter sets with any filter that you need for a certain category, or you can create one filter set for all categories and just turn it on to hide filters that have empty filter terms, so you’ll see only visible filters for this category.

Hello. I have a site hosted by wpengine at www.wikipayresearch.com.

I use filter everything pro to create filters by custom field in the side bar menu on the page that lists posts by search results.

One of the custom fields is called Hot Topics. One of the items in the check box filter is Artificial Intelligence.

The filter identifies correctly the number of posts that are categorized as artificial intelligence. But when I seek to filter the results, those posts don not show up. Yet the filter in the side bar menu shows that the filter thinks that the post has been displayed (if you know what i mean).

If you go to www.wikipayresearch.com, click on All Content in the primary menu, and then look at the artificial intelligence choice in the side bar you will see 2 items listed. When you use the filter, however, you will see that none appear, although the filter set indicates that 2 posts are displayed. Pls do that and you can duplicate the problem. HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS? All the other filters work correctly.

Could you please provide the credentials to the wp-admin dashboards follwoing this document so we can check it?

Hello Victor. I set up the admin permissions for you as per the document. I activated the query monitor plugin. No back up made with Upload plus for some reason, but I have a duplicate of the production site on local with push and pull capability. I sent the password generated to you as instructed in the document. Pls let me know what you find. Thank you

Hi wkitchenman,

We have checked the site and changed the ACF option from “Artificial Intelligence (AI)” to “Artificial Intelligence AI” and applied it to the one product (that we could find with that option we didn’t find the second post you should know better which one was it to apply the new option) and everything is working.

The reason is the name of the option that you placed in ACF, in general, it is better to use value : label so there won’t be any issues. And use this code to show the labels in the filter set for the needed meta key:

// 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)
{
//write meta keys here
    $meta_keys = array('my-meta-key', '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;
}

Also, we would recommend rolling back to PHP 8.0 or 8.1 so that all plugins would work normally.

Hello,

I do appreciate the plugin and the filters. After having tested with the free version I got some problems and purchased the pro version hoping to get the filters working.

I do get the filtered list in the sidebar. And after activating a filter the items are reduced to the number shown in the brackets. Unfortunately the filtered items do not correspond to the value of the taxonomy.

Is there a useful documentation for solving this problem?

Thank you for your help.

Best wishes

Claus

Hi Victor, I sent the necessary informations to your support e-mail. Thank you very much for your help. Claus

Hi Claus,

We have checked the site, and most likely you just need to update those posts, can you provide credentials to the wp-dashboard following this document so we can check it?

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi Victor, thanx for checking. What do you mean with “update those posts”? Best regards Claus

Hi, is it possible to have a Select All option for each checkbox or label filter?

Also, is it possible to show the colour codes for the colour filters?

Hi kbxiankode,

Unfortunately, there is no such option to select all of the filter terms at the same time. Maybe only by custom code but you’ll need to have advanced PHP and WordPress knowledge to write it. Or you can simulate it and choose all of the needed filters and copy the URL and then make a button that simply redirects you to that URL and all of the chosen filter terms will be checked.

That’s also not possible out of the box, again only by custom coding or you can just create an ACF field with the name of the color codes then you will have something close to it.

Best Regards,
- Victor

I have multiple ACF Fields with the same metric (Title) but diffrent content. Is it possible to have a filter titel with diffrent ACF Fields showing up?

For my example: I have listings (posts) with open rooms for diffrent dates (each date is a ACF Field) and in the filter i want to show the diffrent dates under the same titel (room avaliabe from).

So from this – https://prnt.sc/hOhjhEM_O1kK Do you want to make this? – https://prnt.sc/HMXcV9QoeA02

And that lower filter from another ACF custom field? Nope, that’s impossible, absolutely impossible. Even doing something like that with a custom code will take a significant amount of time, and it will still work only for a certain situation.

If they are absolutely the same why not just use one custom field? Or what do you want to create in the end process? Please explain everything so we can understand the end goal. Because mixing two filters together is impossible.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Yes that on your pictures is, what i wanted to do. End Goal: Each post (=Appartment) shows, when a room will become avaliable. In the AFC custom field i placed that the date when a room will become avaliable. If there is only one room avaliable it works fine. But if in one Appartment (Post) are two rooms avaliable with diffrent dates, i cant use the same AFC custom field (or i dont know how). Thats why i have two fields there. Hope it is clear this way?

Hi diheiv,

Uhum, well you choose a difficult thing to achieve. All we can think right away is that you simply duplicate posts, like “house8 room2”, and “house8 room 3” and just apply the dates to those rooms, and it would be the easiest way out.

Or you can make those houses as categories with all of the available dates and they still will go not like you want, it will require a significant amount of work and then time to support it.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hey team! When I use the [fe_open_button] shortcode, the popup is greyed out and can’t be adjusted.

I have tried compatibility mode is settings but the issue persists. You can see the filter on this page: https://getbusboy.com/food-days-calendar/

Not sure what’s happening. Thanks in advance!

Hi envato471,

Try to add this CSS in the Filters -> Experimental -> Custom CSS to see if it will fix it and the grayed-out area will go on the background.

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
    .wpc-overlay-visible .wpc_show_bottom_widget .wpc-filters-overlay {
        z-index: auto;
    }
}
