Hello,
I’ve recently purchased your plugin in order to use it within my Wordpress website (which I edit with Elementor Pro). The plugin works correctly, but whenever it is activated I can’t use the Elementor theme builder to create or edit my posts. The loading screen goes on for ever. I keep getting this error message in the Elementor file log:
JS: showing 1 of 1JS: 2023-08-27 09:58:40 [error X 4][https://paraulademixa.com/wp-content/plugins/elementor-pro/assets/js/editor.min.js?ver=3.15.1:2:64105] can’t convert undefined to object
On the other hand, this doesn’t happen when I try to edit a page. And when I deactive “Filter everything” Elementor goes back to normal. What’s going on? Can you help me?
Thank you in advance,
Anna
Hi Anna,
Could you please provide the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard follwoing this document so we can check it?
Best Regards,
- Victor
i just sent the credentials. Thanks
Hi Anna,
Thank you fo the credentials. Could you please grant us the full admin rights? We cannot even turn on and off plugins in order to catch the root of the issue.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Sorry for the delay, I didn’t see your message. I just got you full admin rights. Hope this time it works!
Hi Anna,
Thank you for your patience while we worked to resolve the issue. We were able to identify and address the problem, which turned out to be related to the URL prefixes you entered. We have changed those prefixes in the filters -> url prefixes and everything is working well.

Hi! Thank you, it worked!! By the way, I’m trying to use the special bottom widget for mobile devices but I can’t manage to make it work. What do I need to do? I enabled it, but it doesn’t show up.
Hi! I finally got it using the shortcode [fe_open_button] but now, can i configure the language without other plugin (like when i set the “Apply/ Reset button’s labels)?
Hi Anna,
Do you mean that you want to change the labels of those buttons when switching to another language? Or what do you mean?
Best Regards,
- Victor
Everything is ok when I use Filter Everything on desktop or tablet mode. I was able to translate Search, Reset buttons, etc But when I use the special widget for mobile devices every button is in English (Show, Cancel, Filters). How can I change that?
Hi Anna,
You can translate them with Loco translation to the needed language.
Best Regards,

It worked, thank you! 
Hello there!
I hope you’re doing well. I’d like to bring up an issue regarding your plugin. Initially, the filters of the custom post type were functional and effective. However, they only worked for the first day. After that, none of the filters seem to be functioning at all.
I’ve diligently tried all the solutions provided in the WordPress dashboard’s sidebar, but unfortunately, the issue persists.
To provide some context, I’ve established a custom post type called “Course” along with a set of custom fields. While it was operational on the first day, it has ceased to function since then. I have implemented all the possible solutions by turning off the AJAX and removing the caches. and i have added the correct HTML class which was worked first time that is .wp-block-query.
To further investigate the matter, you can visit the following link: (https://cloudassess.com/course-library/)
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Hi Cloudassess,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
We just checked the page and the filter is filtering – https://prnt.sc/zemKbdcOflq4 the thing is that your pagination isn’t working at all, even if we force-reload the page it still won’t change. We cannot tell how many products should be shown as there are no counters to check next to the terms, but it is filtering items on the page. Can you provide more detailed information on what is not working? So we can simulate it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hello,
I’m getting this error: “You have been using the plugin for over two months without a license key, and it is now locked.”
I bought the product and tried to enter the license key but it still doesn’t work and give me a message “unknown error”
Hi annaboroshok,

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:

Hi, I’m having a difficult time setting up my filter. I’m wanting to filter a personnel page by administration, faculty, and support staff and add a search field where users can type in title or name of personnel. I added the filter, added the widget and my page is saying, “No one Filter Set is related to this page. You can configure it in the Filter Set -> “Where to filter?” field.” Is there a video or something showing how to do this?
Hello, I have it set up now. I need to change the order of the categories. Right now it’s listing Faculty Administration Support Staff and I need to have it listed as Administration Faculty Support Staff. Would you kindly tell me how to have the search field only search by personnel title or is there a way to do this?
Hi beccaweeks,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Yes, you can go to the filter set, choose the needed filter and click on “more options” and choose the sorting option for categories.
Our plugin only passes the search phrase to WP_Query which is filtered. And WordPress itself already decides to search in three fields – post_title, post_excerpt, post_content.
If you want to search only by post_title, you need to modify WP_Query through a hook. This hook can be ‘wpc_filtered_query_end’ – in our plugin. Or the classic WordPress hook – ‘pre_get_posts’ (or others in the WP). If you do not have the needed skills and knowledge for it, you can hire the dev for example, from Upwork to do it for you.

Hi,
the plugin works very good but I have a request.
In categories, I have the problem that when I filter something, Woocommerce call the description in the category.
So in in every new url filtered I see the description of the category. A really bad problem. I tried to avoid this via php, but nothing seems to solve this problem. Any help?
Hi michaelcodogno,
Can you please show us this “description” in the URL so we can check it? A bit confusing right now what exactly do you mean about it?
Best Regards,
- Victor
So, the main category is https://gpoint-wines.com/categoria/rossi-naturali/ When I filter, the URL is https://gpoint-wines.com/categoria/rossi-naturali/i-vini-toscana/
As you can see, in the filtered URL we have another time the same description. All filter under categories call this…
When you choose any filter term URL particle is added to the URL, and there is nothing that can be done with it, you can only change it to the GET parameters if you want.
But if you are referring to this description – https://prnt.sc/tTp29_kC1SZV if you add SEO rules and choose any filter term it can be changed dynamically.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi, yes i was referring to that description. Now I actived the SEO Rules, but your plugin description is added, it doen’t replace the one in your screenshot
Well, in that case, the description is not related to our plugin at all. It most likely has something to do with the Woo category description. You can remove it from the page by removing the category description or modifying the archive page template to your needs.
Best Regards,
- Victor
My site is set up with woocommerce category and woocommerce subcategory for example: Computing/Notebooks When the user is in the main category (Computer Science), since I have chosen to show only the categories, by clicking on the product filters, the filter works but it rightly does not show the products. Would there be a way to make clients go to Notebook like link? If not, what should I do to set up a sidebar for the categories and another widget with the filter?
Hi gennarosalvi,
What do you mean by the “works but it rightly does not show the products”? Can you provide more details? Also, please send the link to the page with the issues alongside explanations so we can check it.
Also, please provide more details on this “Would there be a way to make clients go to Notebook like link?”
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi gennarosalvi,
“If you click on a product of a subcategory (gloves) the filter works but it doesn’t show the products because I chose to show only the categories.”
If you choose only to show categories our plugin won’t make products appear. You can choose to show categories and products then the plugin can filter products.
Or you can make any some type of custom customization in order to make it like you want. In general, this question would be better addressed to the Woo support. Because our plugin is working with the query, and what that query is displaying the plugin is filtering it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
I have purchased the Pro version, but the “Get Your License Key” button takes me to the wrong account, not the account where I made the purchase. (one of my client’s Envato accounts). I have logged out and back in to Envato, and WordPress, uninstalled, reinstalled, it still thinks I am the wrong account. Thanks!
Hi danloffler,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Try to use incognito mode, so after the redirection you can log in with the needed account where you have bought the plugin.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thanks Victor. Yes that worked.
Hey, I’ve been testing this plugin for a couple of days and I’ve decided to buy it, but I still have the same problem eg. brands [checkbox list] —AB —CD —EF ... When I selected 1 one it was fine, the URL looks like this /brands-AB/ , but when I select two or more of them my URL looks like this /brands-AB/?CD&EF and it’s filtered by only one brand and filter chips are also from the first one. Same situations with other elements…
I’ve tried turning off Rank Math SEO, but I still have the same issue.

Maybe it’s a subdomain issue on localhost it’s working fine.
Hi Andy,
Can you send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?
Best Regards,

Hi Victor, I’ve sent you credentials via pm. Andy
Hi Andy,
Sorry for the late reply as it takes some time to find the issue.
The cause of the problem is that your server is configured to consider the character ’;’ parameter separator in Query String.
Normally, the separator is always the ‘&’ sign and the correct Query string looks like ?marka=baltica;bayer&pojemnosc=400-ml
But your server is configured in such a way that parameter separators are both the ‘&’ sign and the ’;’ character.
We fixed this in the plugin configuration by replacing the separator between the filter terms with a colon character ’:’ and now everything works. But the plugin was not tested in this mode and we cannot guarantee that it will continue to work correctly.
In order for this setting not to disappear after updating the plugin, you need to add a line in wp-config.php define( ‘FLRT_QUERY_TERMS_SEPARATOR’, ’:’ );
But the best solution would be to contact the server support and ask them to change this setting so that the parameter separator in the Query string is only one character ‘&’
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thanks Victor, I had the same suspicion but couldn’t debug it, on localhost everything works. I’ll test it again on the target server, thanks for your time and help!
Cheers! Andy

Hello!
I want to create a gym exercise search engine, with one filter divided by muscles (triceps, biceps, pectorals, ...) and another by movement (squat, push, ...).
In the entries, I always have two types of tags: the muscle and the movement.
I managed to implement the muscle group filter, but I can’t select the tags again. It would be good to add this function but prevent the inclusion of duplicate terms to avoid logistical issues.
Why not including terms in one filter that are not included in another?
I’ve looked at the “popular issues” and you mention that creating another filter is an option, but that’s short-sighted because it should recognize that within the “glute” muscle there are various movements (for example: squats, hip hinge, lunges,...).
And if I create taxonomies with CPT UI, it only lets me have the widget as a “Gama” and not a dropdown as I would like.
Do you have a solution to achieve what I need?
Hi fernandezaaron,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
A very interesting project you are doing there. We understand what you want to achieve. In short, you want to have two filters one by muscles and the second one by movement. Would be a bit confusing for the end user, but in general there is no possibility to spread one filter on two parts, if you are using tags you can only use it once in a filter set.
You can add a ACF custom field to resolve your issue, there is no other way around it, and more simplistic than that.
But, here is our view on the project if you are interested to hear it and resolving the issue. Since this would be an exercise search engine it should help the user to find exactly what he is looking for.
Basically:
One field to choose a muscle group with “checkboxes” and options like neck, deltoids, biceps, triceps, forearm, upper-back, lower-back, pectoral, abs, and so on.
Another field for more detailed muscle parts, for example, the pectoral muscle has 3 parts – upper, middle, and lower. So write down here all of the muscles parts for all muscles.
The third one can contain equipment, barbell, dumbells, machines, body weight, and so on.
Make those filters step by step, with parenting like here – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/step-by-step-filtering/ using the “AND” logic to show only the terms that are connected with previously chosen terms.
For example, you choose pectoral -> upper-pectoral-part -> barbell and you will see, for example, 45 Degree Barbell Bench Press (because in the custom field for this exercise, you choose pectoral in the muscles field, upper-pectoral-part in the second field, and barbell in third field), the last filter with equipment can contain “OR” logic so it can show exercises with barbells and dumbbells at the same time.

Hi, I’m using your plugin with WPML, have set filters on page: https://mathemastaging.wpengine.com/tutors/ I can translate filters themselves to other languages, but how to change basic strings, like “Default sorting”, or ”- Select”? Page itself is set on the Ukrainian language.
I have found and translated them via WPML String Translation, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect( Can you help me with this please?
Hi maksymogurtsov,
You have several ways to change – Select %s – to your own:
1) To translate it with the Loco translate plugin or other software if you use a non-English language on your site.
2) To use the Templates Overriding feature https://filtereverything.pro/resources/templates-overriding/ to override the dropdown.php template and replace the string.
3) To use hook ‘wpc_dropdown_default_option‘ if you are familiar with PHP development.
Sorting options can be set up with widget area with the needed names – https://prnt.sc/BcLIVgSkp4s0
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thanks a lot. I am familiar with PHP, but wasn’t able to find ‘wpc_dropdown_default_option‘ hook description at https://filtereverything.pro/resources/hooks/ – to know arguments etc. Maybe you have its usage example?
As example should be something like this:
// Define a custom function to modify the default option text
function custom_dropdown_default_option($default_option, $filter) {
// Modify the default option text as needed
$modified_default_option = sprintf(__('My custom text: %s', 'filter-everything'), $filter['label']);
return $modified_default_option;
}
// Hook the custom function to the 'wpc_dropdown_default_option' filter
add_filter('wpc_dropdown_default_option', 'custom_dropdown_default_option', 10, 2);
Best Regards,
- Victor
Perfect, thanks a lot for your help!

Hi favr91, I am trying the free version and have an issue. I have an ACF text field named author and I made a filter for it. One of the author names uses Spanish characters and is “Andrés Vázquez de Prada”. When I connect a filter to the authors, it shows “Andr?s V?zquez de Prada” and is greyed out with (0) to the right. How can I get the filters of use UTF-8 (which is what I assume is the issue)? Thanks.
Opps, I mean “Hi Victor”. Not sure how I came up with the favr91. 
Hi p2p76q6g82,

I have 20,000+ categories, 4 levels deep, how do I efficiently create a step-by-step filter?
Right now the page is trying to load all 20000 categories on every page which is stalling the website.
Thank you
Hi webcms2,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Well if you have 20.000 categories and the page has all of the products with those 20.000 categories they will be loaded all in the filter widget (if you have empty filter terms you can hide them from filter set settings). With such amount of categories you need to have far beyond average server configuration, it should be representative to work as fast as you want. Unfortunately there. ’s nothing that can be done here, of course, you can use caching, DB optimization, and OPcache, but the hardware is the key factor here to make it work normally.
Also, there is no possibility to spread categories out of the box for different dropdowns. They all will be shown in one filter.

Hi there! We have purchased Filter Everything plugin with intention of implementing on our website, but there have been security warnings/errors flagged on the PHP code sniffer scan and we are hoping you can address, respond and/or fix these issues (is it possible to for us share/attach a screenshot to this comment?). It looks like a really long list, but the bulk of it relates to mostly these repeated issues: -Proper escaping function -missing third variables -Non-sanitized input variables
Thank you
Hi roberttavares,
You can send the link to the screenshots via PM if there is any sensitive information on it.
If you are using the latest version of PHP it can show warnings and even some errors as it becomes more strict about some things in comparison to the previous version of PHP. Currently, the plugin is not fully compatible with the latest version of PHP. If you want to work with it you need to have 8.0 or 8.1 max.
Best Regards,
- Victor
HI Victor, we are on PHP version 8.1 and will send link to screenshot via PM.
Hi roberttavares,
We send you the response by email.

Hi Robert.
Thank you for sharing detailed information about the results of code analysis using the PHP scanner. We have reviewed all comments for this scanner and can answer the following.
In fact, there are many such scanners and all of them will show different results when analyzing the same code. Not always automatically found unshielded or unsanitized data actually is, because the code can be written in such a way that this data is cleaned and unsanitized at the time it is received by the code first time and is then used already clean and safe. Although the scanner will think that they are dangerous in all places where it found them.
When developing our plugin, we focus on the following things:
- errors and comments issued directly by the PHP interpreter
- security requirements from WordPress.org
- code security requirements from CodeCanyon
When we submitted a request to place the plugin on WordPress.org, we were advised to make changes related to the security of the code. We have made these changes and our plugin has been accepted into the WordPress.org repository.
When we submitted a request to put the PRO version of the plugin on CodeCanyon, we went through exactly the same security analysis procedure and made changes in accordance with CodeCanyon’s requirements. And only after that, our plugin was approved for placement on this service.
Moreover, if you take the code of the latest version of WordPress, your PHP scanner will give you a very long report with notes and errors related to security. I assume you believe that WordPress itself is perfectly safe to use on your site.
Therefore, our vision is that we do not see the need to change anything in the plugin and the security level of its code is sufficient in our opinion.
However, if you are really worried about the results of your scanner, you can always hire a developer and ask them to change the plugin’s code according to the recommendations of the scanner you used.
Thank you. Best regards.
- Andrii.
Great thanks for the detailed response Andrii, much appreciated!
Hi, used your free version successfully to filter news/Posts.
I used as tabs across the top, but was missing an ‘ALL’ button as well as the filters, to reset to beginning. Couldn’t see it did that?
I actually came to a good work around, by having a static ‘All’ button next to the filters which essentially just reloaded the page by linking to the URL already on.
Question – looking at using this plugin for a new Woocommerce project. Does the Pro licence work site by site, or is it a one time purchase for all use? Does that include future updates? thanks!
Hi paul_brad,
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
The reset button is appearing in the filter chips.
The license is a lifetime, with all new updates that coming up. You can use the license on two sites, It was made in such a way to activate one on the dev site and the second one on the prod one. You always can deactivate the license from a site and activate it on another one if you need to switch.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thanks for the speedy reply! I’m not sure if the way you describe is relevant to my use – I’m not using as filters down the left column as though an ecommerce project – i can see the reset appear on your demo, merely as Post category buttons/labels across the top in a row to filter the grid of posts. Using the [fe-filter] shortcode.
Hi paul_brad,
So what you are looking for to have a button to choose all terms in certain filter?
Best Regards,
- Victor
Now it is understandable. Usually the page with the post/products/news, etc., displays all of the items, and only when you choose any filter term from the filters widget it displays the results that match this filter term. So basically when you reset the filter it will show all news by default (when no filter terms are chosen).
Best Regards,

I have a problem with filtering on a subpage where there is a custom loop with a specific taxonomy for the subpage. When I set in “And what to filter?” in the first loop, the total quantities of all products are displayed and sorting does not work, while when selecting the second loop, filtering works, but the filter does not detect any products and I cannot use the “Empty Terms” option as “Always hide”.
Hi ThisSPzooSPk,
Please send the link to the page where the issue is occurring so we can check it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
it’s about the filters on the subpage https://parys.dysissparta.pl/marka/plak/
Hi ThisSPzooSPk,
We have checked the site and the filter set. The issue is that each Marka page has a unique query, we set the filter strictly on this Marka page – https://parys.dysissparta.pl/marka/plak/ with the second query, and everything is working. So settings like Marki + Any Marka Page won’t work and you’ll see an empty filter set. You can either rewrite the custom query and its realization or create multiple filter sets for each Marka page.

Hi, unfortunately I have to come back to this topic. I created separate filters for each brand page and everything works until I added a search engine. Unfortunately, when you search for something, it shows that 0 products were found and the filters disappear. Standard filters work. Example: https://parys6.dysissparta.pl/marki/plak/?srch=Silikon
Hi ThisSPzooSPk,
It is not compatible with Relevanssi at the time if you turn it off it will work correctly. We are planning to add compatibility with the future updates.

Hello. I’ve bought again your nice plugin Filter Everything PRO, made a setup for Filter Sets and some SEO Rules for a category but seo rules do no apply. I mean the seo title and meta description don’t change, but the filter itself works fine. The filter page has noindex, nofollow and the title is by default. In the Settings -> Indexed Filters all values are ticked. That is, it turns out that the title, meta description and heading h1 are not replaced by seo rule. Basically, I bought this filter so that I could index the filter pages and it does not work. At the moment, the site is on a test domain and the license is not activated, as it will be transferred to another domain and we will activate the plugin there. What could be the problem why SEO rules do not work? Help me please.
Hi rijkov99,
Could you please send the link to the page with the issue and the SEO Rule settings so we can check it all?

Hello,
I am having issue with translation. I am using the WPML for the translation.
First of I created a filter set in default language which is English for the taxonomy and I filter it on Page with (for common query across all the taxonomy page)
Now i want to translate this filter to use the title as different languages but however after i have translated and create a new filter set with different language, it is still showing me the same default language.
So i want to check inside the string translation to find any string to this title and I can’t seem to find it. I also can’t create each filter set for individual terms, there are quite a lot of terms to this taxonomy. Can you please list me any solutions or any way around on how this can be done ?
Thank you
Hi tbs_marketing,
You need to add to the translation filter sets – https://prnt.sc/Q0zApwMqIWKj you can now translate filter sets – https://prnt.sc/98pVWtCTgY6h
Then you enter inside the needed filter set and turn off this option – https://prnt.sc/BblfbUJXdgPZ and just click on the language you want to add a translation – https://prnt.sc/9QxZjTnOVqo8 and you need to create absolutely the same filter set manually and type the titles on the needed language and place the filter set where you need.
If you want to translate the filter terms as well, you need to translate them all on the site, if you are using ACF translate each ACF field for another language same with categories and so on.

Hi,
WooCommerce shop page is not loading on my website. When I am downgrading to php version shop page is loading . I have checked with support hosting team , they told me to upgrade the plugin version , only then it will work. I have downgraded the php version on live site, shop page is working but plugin is not showing.

Hi manishsharmapetsolutionsintl,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Please deactivate our Plugin and check if the shop page will load, more likely this has something to do with custom code or site configuration. Let us know if the shop page will work when our plugin is deactivated.
