Hello, I need a filter option on a page is this possible with your extensio?? On this site you can see what I want to build: https://aufschwungalt.de/ueber-uns/unsere-referenzen/

Please let me know if it is possible so that i can buy the pro version.

Absolutely the same as for products, just instead of products here choose the posts – https://prnt.sc/qCwLuvzVGAs7

Here you should specify the location of your page with posts – https://prnt.sc/zKCHstd9gXgd And right below it, you should specify the correct query on the page that is displaying all of those posts.

Use either the widget area to place a filter widget there on that page or use a shortcode [fe_widget] on the needed page to display the filter widget. More about shortcodes you can read here – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/

Hi Victor, I have now placed the filter and linked the posts. However, it always says 0 posts. What can be the reason for this?

Hi JeSchami,

Did you choose the correct WP_Query in the “And what to filter?” dropdown from filter set settings?

Hi,

I am considering purchasing PRO version of your plugin, but first I need to understand will it work for my website. For now, I have free version installed on staging copy of the website. I have made Filter Set for custom post type “tutor” with few filters for its custom taxonomies. However, on the page where it has to be shown (https://mathemastaging.wpengine.com/tutors/) it shows:

No one Filter Set is configured for this post type pages. You can create a new Filter Set for them. The Filter Everything Sorting widget only works on pages with filtering posts.

The way filters were added to this page (which uses theme custom template):

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'tutor',
    'orderby'  => array(
        'date' => 'DESC',
        'menu_order' => 'DESC'
    )
);
$tutors = new WP_Query($args);
query_posts( $tutors );
echo do_shortcode('[fe_chips mobile="yes" reset="no"]'); 
echo do_shortcode('[fe_widget id="18227" show_selected="yes" show_count="yes" horizontal="yes" columns="3"]');
echo do_shortcode('[fe_sort id="2"]');                
if ($tutors->have_posts()) : 
     while ($tutors->have_posts()) : $tutors->the_post();
    $tutor_categories = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'tutors'); 
$post_id = get_the_ID();
$featured_image_url = get_the_post_thumbnail_url($post_id);

I suspect that the reason while it isn’t working is the “Where to filter?” setting, unavailable in the free version and that everything will work with PRO version. Can you tell me please – am I correct? Will it work with pro version after setting this setting? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have purchased plugin, but still can’t make it work. In “Where to filter?” setting I have chosen “Common Wordpress Pages” and tried all 3 options for it (All archive pages…, Search result pages…) but result is the same. Can you tell me please what I am doing wrong? https://mathemastaging.wpengine.com/tutors/ is just a page, built on the basis of custom template, it is not an archive or search results…

Hi maksymogurtsov,

You should choose in the “Where to filter” “pages” + “tutors” if this is a singular page. Let us know if it worked out for you.

Hi Victor,

Ah, now I got the logic, thanks! It worked.

Hi,

I would like to setup a filter where it displays a parent category and a sub category. I can’t figure it out. There’s an option to select a parent filter (that says I need to create/add a filter first. I already created one but dropdown’s still not showing anything.

Hi markee1426,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

You can turn it on for a filter with the option “Show Hierarchy” – https://prnt.sc/myVHxC7M-QvO

Ad you will see it like this – https://prnt.sc/J9rx289kEjgf

Currently, it is supported only by the checkboxes, but we are planning to implement it in the dropdowns in future updates as well.

Hi, I am trying to be able to filter a Woocommecre product attribute as a range due to the fact that it is only made of numbers (my attributes terms https://imgur.com/SUJVG39), is their any way to do that? If not could you maybe include it in the next update?

Thank You

Hi nicolass82,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Unfortunately at the time, it is impossible, and not sure if we’ll add such functionality as each attribute has its own unique slug, it’s not just a number like when you create the custom numeric field. And it can contain mixed data, so it will cause a lot of errors and issues.

You can create a custom numeric field and apply it to the products but you cannot write something like 10-25 and expect it to work like a range of numbers from 10 to 25. As it should be speeded into two values minimum and maximum.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi nicolass82,

We get back with an update. Apologies for the previous answer it wasn’t full and not fully correct.

The ability to create a range slider filter by attributes is possible by the “Taxonomy Numeric” option, but the attribute terms should contain only numbers, so if you remove this type of term “1-10, 2-40” you could create a range slider.

1 – When the filter is performed on Woocommerce products, it shows the quantity in parentheses, but it lists all, shouldn’t it show only the filtered product?

2 – I’m using ACF with a select field (repeat) and it doesn’t show the filter, am I doing something wrong? Where can I send you a print or group of fields used in ACF? To find out what’s wrong.

Hi samucavirtualite,

Please send the link to the page with the issue.

The filter terms show the number of products in each filter term, for example, brand apple (10) means that there are 10 products with such brand and if you apply it you will see 10 of those products. But if you choose any filter term and nothing changed on the page most likely you choose the wrong query in the filter set setting “And what to filter” Change it, hit update, and test if everything is working.

Here you can check 100% supported ACF field types – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/example/acf/

Other ACF fields are partially supported or not supported at all. For example, the repeater is not an ACF field, but a list of dynamically generated ACF fields. And you can create filters by repeater subfields, not sure if it will be useful for your case. Also, you can not combine several ACF subfields in the single filter as in fact, they are different Custom Fields combined in a single repeater field.

First congratulations for the plugin, very well built. And with very good support. Congratulations, I know how difficult this job is. About what I need, the website is this one https://loja.tylco.ind.br/categoria-produto/tomadas-de-forca/

- About showing only what was filtered, it worked. OK - But the filter using ACF field select (repeat) still doesn’t work. Even though I indicated the meta key of the subfield.

See how the field creation and plugin configuration is going.

ACF fields: https://prnt.sc/JLMSVg1g-TST

Config plugin: https://prnt.sc/gvNwT-c1b3Ey

I’ve tried using the friendly name of the ACF meta key and it still doesn’t work.

Site problem: https://prnt.sc/nU9piH63MtOa

Can you help?

Hi samucavirtualite,

We are very grateful for your kind words, they mean a lot to us.

Can you check in the database if there is at least any data by that meta key? that you are placed in the filter set? it looks like there is simply no data at all by that meta key in DB. That’s why you see that there are no filter terms yet.

When you apply any value to your custom field on a product and update it, it will be saved in the DB and our plugin will get that data by that meta key from DB.

Maybe it would be better to switch to the simple ACF select field without a repeater, as it is not fully supported. At least you would be 100% sure it will work as intended.

Hi, we have 2 licenses for both of our marketplaces but our senior developer is having some troubles:

**ps: our main marketplace URL is www.atlantikos.com.br (give it a look).

1. We use the WCFM marketplace plugin and it creates 2 template pages: the store page and the store list page. The store page (ex: www.atlantikos.com.br/loja/naveia/) agroups all products from 1 seller/vendor; and the store list page (www.atlantikos.com.br/todas-marcas/) is a list of all our vendors/sellers. They both have sidebars widgets!

We wanted to use a similar filter set used in the category page in these pages, but we cant duplicate the filter set. We even tried using the “duplicate page” plugin, but it didnt work.

Also, these pages have different HTML IDs from the category page, and that need to be filtered, but the plugin only lets 1 ID to be selected in the settings.

How can we create a filter set for each of these pages?

2. The sales filter is not working in the category page. We tried it many times and it doesnt create any URL.

Thanks!

Hi raphaelschaffer,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

There is no duplicate function yet but we are planning to add it with future updates. You can specify in the filter set settings in the “Where to filter” product category + all categories. And if you need the same filter set somewhere else you need to manually create another filter set and place it on the new location where you want to see it.

You can specify in another filter set the needed “HTML ID or Class” for AJAX. That’s why you need to create a couple of filter sets. One for categories and another for other pages.

“The sales filter is not working on the category page. We tried it many times and it doesn’t create any URL.”

Please send the link to the page with the issue and a screenshot of how you set up that “sales filter”.

there’s a way to have the number of posts WITHOUT brackets ” ( ) ” in the checkboxes list ?? I managed to find my way with radio using the template override , but there’s nothing to override in the checkboxes.php file

Hi mastahtheboss,

You can rewrite it globally in the plugin file wpc-helpers.php here – https://prnt.sc/y0_Ri3b3aP-t or rewrite the checkboxes.php template in order to change the flrt_filter_count() function to your needs.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Thanks Victor, i didn’t want to modify globally because of future updates , and on the checkboxes.php template there’s not much i can modify , I just went with CSS hiding the brackets, not the best solution, but it works .

Thanks a lot :)

Yeah, as an option, we would say it is the best way out of it. Great job!

Hello,

I hope this email finds you well. I recently purchased Filter Everything Pro and encountered an issue when trying to activate my license. The problem is that, when attempting to add the license key, I receive an error message that simply states “Unknown error.”

I’ve double-checked the license key for accuracy, but the issue persists. I’m eager to start using Filter Everything Pro for my projects, so I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter.

If you require any additional information from me to diagnose and resolve this issue, please let me know.

I look forward to your prompt response and assistance.

Thank you,

Hi favr91,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

It seems that your server does not allow connection with our license server. We can activate it on our side, but we need the following things from you:

1. Credentials to your /wp-admin following this document
2. And your license key.

Please, send all these via PM.

Hi there,

I have created a sale “category” by changing the query parameters in the Woocommerce product query. I have used the snippet here: https://www.businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-sale-category-automatic/

That gives this page: https://rosalinda.dk/sale-test/

However, the filtering is not working on that particular page. I guess, the filter plugin needs something to recognize which products, that are shown and manipulated into the category.

Any ideas on how to get the filtering to reflect the shown products?

Hi Meldgaard89,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

If the filtering is not working on the page with that code snippet then it is a problem of a snippet realization or the code itself without WordPress standards. Unfortunately, we do not provide or debug custom codes as it is out of the support policy here on CodeCanyon.

Hello,

This pluggin is able to filter but regarding all products of webside? I mean in the tag products are placed the terms for filtering. If I filter “love” I would like filter all products of webside and not only the selected category. Is what is filtering right now, only the selected category.

I want if client is wherever in the web when filter, should appear all the products in the webside with that tag appears.

Is that possible? I have 2 websides pending to know if this is possible. Please let me know something.

https://candleartesoteric.com/

thanks, Joaquin

Hi Joaquim_,

Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.

The plugin can only filter the products, so if you have a page with all of the products, you can filter all of them. But if you have a page with “fruits” and another page with “vegetables” the plugin won’t grab products from the “vegetables” page and display them on the “fruits” page.

So basically if you have the page with all of the products, you can filter them.

You cannot talk about what rights I have and what I don’t have. I said that I am disappointed with your commitments and it has nothing to do with rights. To be honest there are no rights in this world.

You could have taken this positively and suggested the estimated time for this functionality.

There is no confirmation that you will even work on this feature or not.

I am sorry for being rude. I understand your point as well. I had a bad day.

Hi Sonansh

Okay, sure. I understand. Sometimes it happens with all of us. I wish you only good and positive days :-)

Take care of yourself. Regards.

Hi, I have set up a custom post type with categories and acf fields. My client can select multiple items for ‘Uitvoering’ which should reflect in the filters. However, when I select anything in the filters the query does change, but doesn’t use the custom field as the basis.

Example, I select ‘Inloopkast’ under the category ‘Kasten’, which should give me posts with ‘Inloopkast’ in the name. But it just shows a mix of different posts. Any idea where I’m going wrong? https://morgana.groei.site/kasten/uitvoering-inloopkast/

Hi doelbewustonlinemarketing,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Could you provide the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi Victor, I have sent the credentials.

We have checked the site, and it seems that the problem is in the implementation of the template category.php and its custom query for the product displaying. Which was written without WordPress standards. Or custom code/plugin conflict.

We would recommend starting from that, basically, you can turn off 50% of the plugins and update the filter set to check the workability. In that case, it would be 100% sure that the issue is in the template and its realization.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi,

The filter is great! I would like replace the Wordpress search for the Filter Everything Pro search. It’s possible? Thanks advance,

BR,

Antonio.

Hi Antonio,

No, unfortunately, it is not possible yet, as it is working with certain queries on the page. So both the search and filtering options are working together. But with future updates, we can implement something like that.

Hi there,

I bought this plugin based on the YouTube tutorials, but it does not do what I want. The free version did better, but I now found an alternative for this plugin. I would like to receive a refund since it’s not doing what the plugin promised.

Hi rickaahz,

We are sorry to hear that our plugin didn’t meet your expectations. Can you tell us what we can improve in order to make it better?

In general, you can send a refund request through the appropriate form in your account.

Hi Stepasyuk! Pre-purchase question here. Is this plugin will work with Elastic Search (ElasticPress is their plugin in Wordpress), or Solr, or any search engine system which intercept WP_Query and call Elasticsearch instead of MySQL. Thank you.

Hi Andrii,

Thanks for the reply.

For now, the native / theme search is still adequate. But I think in the upcoming months or next year (we still have no exact estimation), our site will need Elastic Search services.

Did you have any estimation of when the update (integration with Elastic Search) will be released?

Since we are preparing for it, we are interested to buy the plugin to prepare our UI, taxonomy, etc. while waiting for your team to integrate with Elastic Search.

Any rough estimation time/date of this update release would be very helpful.

Thank you.

Hi hcfs,

Well under the perfect circumstances, we can add such an update in 12 months, but we cannot promise anything, as the dev plans can change at any second.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi Victor,

Thank you for the update. That’s longer than what we expected. But, thank you very much for being open about the project. I’ll bring this to our team discussion.

Best Regards. Thank you.

hi, I have the same issue but with any theme even default theme, I tested on ‘Twenty Nineteen’ with woocommerce plugin only. I enabled ‘apply mode’, settings are:

Where to filter? -> ‘Product Categories’ ‘Any Category’

And what to filter? -> I tested both which available ‘Product query’ and ‘Product query. Main Query.’

Alternative Location -> ‘The same page as for filtered posts’ ‘— No page for selection —’

Button ‘Apply’ always contain some wrong category, for example:

I’m on page ’/product-category/destinations/’, or on page ’/product-category/destinations/jamaica/ocho-rios/’ – button ‘Apply’ always contain wrong URL ’/product-category/destinations/colombia/cartagena/’. If I delete this category ‘cartagena’ then button ‘Apply’ will contain some other wrong category. I spent a day trying to find any info in docs and in this codecanyon answers, but I couldn’t understand why button ‘Apply’ works wrong.

I found the same piece of code and when I commented this line button ‘Apply’ works correct:

$base_permalink = flrt_get_location_permalink( $location, $wp_page_type, $post_type );

It seems so weird that Pro version breaks button ‘Apply’.

Could you help please?

Hi destify-marketing,

Could you please check the version of the plugin you are using? Try to update to the latest version (1.7.15) of the plugin which you can download here. We tested it and everything is working well, but on older versions of the plugin, such an issue may occur.

Please create a DB backup before updating the plugin in order if something goes wrong so you always can return to the previous state.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Victor,

this helped, thanks! Latest version without such bug.

My license is not working. Please help!

Hi ibenitez,

It seems that your server does not allow connection with our license server. We can activate it on our side, but we need the following things from you:

2. And your license key. (not the CodeCanyon purchase code)

Hi there,

I just installed the plugin and I want to filter a custom post type. But when setting up the filter it says: No WP Queries matched the post type “research” found on the page.

But I can’t select any other option from the drop down ‘And what to filter’?

The filter shows on the page with a shortcode, but the results are missing. Please help!

Hi rickaahz,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Most like you have chosen the wrong post type here – https://prnt.sc/RX8-ype8ZqjV which is caused by the No WP Query.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi Victor, thanks for the reply. Everything was setup correctly. But it does not do what I want to achieve, please see my comment from 37 minutes ago!

We have checked the new comment and provided the answer to it there - https://codecanyon.net/comments/29865272

Hi, I have issues with the license key (unknown error) I wrote you a PM with credentials.

Hi fphutopaz,

Yeah sure, how about now?

The license key is activated and everything is working well.

Hello, Pagination is not updated to reflect the changes of the number of posts after filtering. I’ve tried it with and without AJAX

I also tried every possible way to include both the pagination links and the products in the wrapper

Hi evanv_yt,

It seems that pagination is not compatible with our plugin and making some type of the copy of query and using it without taking in fact the filtered elements. Could you send the link to the page with the issue si we can check it?
