Hi alanbrysoncom,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

No, you can place a filter on the page without any posts on it, in your case in the “Where to filter” choose “pages” + “test”.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Creating a filter set is the same for any post type:

1. Choose the post type that you want to filter in the “Post Type to filter” in your case posts.

2. Add the needed filters, there are no standard filtering criteria, as you create them with the ACF field and so on. You can add a numeric custom field and make a range slider from it, or make a checkboxes custom field with options and create a filter from a custom field.

3. In the “Where to filter” you choose the page where you want to place this filter set. That page should have either a shortcode to display the filter widget or a widget area where you will place the filtering widget.

4. In the “And what to filter” you choose the query that displays the products on the page. The filter itself doesn’t display any products, it is only filtering the products on the page that are already displayed there with the query.

“I want to create something like appsumo filtering system”

You can show any screenshots or any demo links of our filters and what exactly you want to create (because the “appsumo filtering system” doesn’t give a lot of information) and we will help you with it.

“integrate your plugin with a page builder”

Well, it depends on the page builders you are using, themes as well, some support widget areas some only can place a shortcode, and so on.

“some filters (all of them empty) and no article shown anywhere”

As we mentioned previously the plugin doesn’t display any posts/products it just filters them, If you place it on the empty page there won’t be anything to filter. If you place it on the page with some products or posts, in the “And what to filter” you should choose the corresponding query and the filter will do its job filtering posts/products on the page. The link to the page where you wan to place it would be great so we can check it.

“your plugin is one of the least user friendly I cam across”

We apologize for any confusion caused by the plugin’s initial configuration difficulty. We understand that it may require some basic knowledge about WP to use effectively. However, we are continuously working to optimize the plugin to make it more user-friendly and accessible to everyone. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Thank you for your reply. Eventhough your comment is more helpful than the documentation, I would appreciate to have a refund, the plugin does not integrate very well in my website using Thrive theme suite. Refund request sent. Thanks and good luck

Hi walidkh,

We always can help resolve the issue and provide the needed information on how you can create exactly what you need if you give us more detailed information on how the end results should look.

If you are not interested in it and already created a refund we can only recommend waiting for the response. Please note that the support team is not responsible for refunds as we do not have access to it.

This is a unique case that we have not come across before. It certainly presents an intriguing challenge. Could you please provide the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

I send the email

We have checked the site, and it seems like you created some custom fields already and then deleted them. The thing is it is not deleting them from the database and if you change their names (meta keys) it also does not change it in the database and you are starting to see issues.

If you create a new custom field right now with a new unique meta key that wasn’t used before, then everything would be showing correctly.

Or you can check the database and try to fix it all manually.

Hi Responsivmedia,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Well, you can turn off the Show Hierarchy option for the filter and exclude unneeded terms from the filter. If you want to have the hierarchy look then you need to have the full chain, in order not to break it and show only a couple of terms instead of all that you need.

Can we change the theme to the default 2021 theme for testing purposes?

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hello, the backup was done on the serwer, you can change the theme and investigate thank you!

Hi protgdansk,

We changed the theme to another one and set up the correct “container for AJAX” and everything is working correctly.

We decided to investigate even further and test your custom theme on our back. Not much to say here honestly, the “BlankSlate” theme is working correctly as well. But the child theme… We cannot even make it run as it is constantly throwing a bunch of new errors. The issue is in the custom theme realization. Since everything is working correctly on another theme (and on parent theme as well) with the same plugins and so on. Unfortunately, we cannot help here as this is strictly a theme issue.

Hi ninjaclick,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Please send the link to the page with the issues so we can check it, and also screenshot where exactly you want to place that checkbox.

Hi youssefe74,

No, because the plugin only filters posts. And in Dokan, different stores are basically different users, on whose behalf the products are added. The plugin cannot filter users. But their products on the pages of these stores usually do.

We can only recommend checking a plugin that filters users. Or write your own custom code for this.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi triangle-media,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Unfortunately, at this time, creating a filter for post types is not a feature that is available. Maybe in the future, it will be possible, but not right now.

“i am not worried about the counters a this point”

It is not only about the terms counters it is also about the terms that will be displayed. And it is working the same on both custom taxonomies, just incorrectly. As we have previously explained, the reason for this is that each taxonomy page has its own unique query, and in order for the Any Category option to function properly, the same query must be present on every page.

We have created a custom taxonomy to test for testing purposes, and we implemented it with the WP standards and named it Movies – https://prnt.sc/fnQZn2OgORVJ We created 3 movie genres (categories) and placed a couple of post types movies in each and those posts contain ACF custom field options to make a filter from it. Created a filter set – https://prnt.sc/x3E8gKP73rJx and chose to display it on any taxonomy page. Here are the results:
1 page – https://prnt.sc/-4-HZ0qTE-EV
2 page – https://prnt.sc/sg0KoTsiJ8gf
3 page – https://prnt.sc/PDpdREOkv9ug

It appears that all the information is being displayed accurately and the filters are functioning properly as you can check – https://prnt.sc/Fg3yIHgFbhNf

We would like to recommend enhancing your knowledge of WP and gaining a better understanding of how it operates. Reading WP documentation and familiarizing yourself with its various components is a great start. It’s important to note that this is not something that can be fully explained in one article. It takes a comprehensive understanding of how each piece fits together to create the desired outcome. Once you have a solid grasp of the fundamentals, you will have the ability to create anything you desire with ease and understand the functionality behind it.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Looks like you have the answer for me right there! Are you able to tell me how you set up your custom taxonomies above to get the desired result?

Hi nevergravity,

Here is a quick example:

// CPT: Movies
function custom_post_type_movies() {
    $labels = array(
        'name' => 'Movies',
        'singular_name' => 'Movie',
    );
    $args = array(
        'labels' => $labels,
        'public' => true,
        'has_archive' => true,
        'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail'),
        'taxonomies' => array('movie_genre'),
    );
    register_post_type('movie', $args);
}
add_action('init', 'custom_post_type_movies');

// CT: Movie Genres
function custom_taxonomy_movie_genres() {
    $labels = array(
        'name' => 'Movie Genres',
        'singular_name' => 'Movie Genre',
    );
    $args = array(
        'labels' => $labels,
        'hierarchical' => true,
    );
    register_taxonomy('movie_genre', 'movie', $args);
}
add_action('init', 'custom_taxonomy_movie_genres');

function custom_archive_category_filter($query) {
    if (is_admin() || !$query->is_main_query()) {
        return;
    }

    if (isset($_GET['movie-category'])) {
        $query->set('tax_query', array(
            array(
                'taxonomy' => 'movie_genre',
                'field' => 'slug',
                'terms' => $_GET['movie-category'],
            ),
        ));
    }
}

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'custom_archive_category_filter');

And quick example archive-movies.php to display our CTP:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<form method="get">
    <label for="movie-category">Select Movie Category:</label>
    <select name="movie-category" id="movie-category">
        <option value="">All Movies</option>
        <?php
        $movie_categories = get_terms('movie_genre');
        foreach ($movie_categories as $category) {
            echo '<option value="' . $category->slug . '">' . $category->name . '</option>';
        }
        ?>
    </select>
    <input type="submit" value="Filter">
</form>

<!-- Movies Loop -->
<?php
if (have_posts()) :
    while (have_posts()) :
        the_post();
        // Display Movie content here
    endwhile;
else :
    echo 'No movies found.';
endif;
?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Hi gkmaxarts,

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 partnersrrc,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

We have checked the site, and the thing is that you included a couple of sub-sub-categories without including the middle sub-category and its parent category, it caused the breaking of the hierarchy chain and that’s why you see only a couple of categories instead of the full list. We created it how it should be in order to show correctly, but if you don’t like it, you can turn off the “Show Hierarchy” and include only the needed categories that you want to see there. You will get the full list of categories that you included just without hierarchy looks.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Well, it’s not happening because it has two filter terms – https://prnt.sc/o14YcmU3JIgM if it was empty it would be hidden.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Oh…. I see. I mean the category filter (with number range) but you are right. When you don’t select anything, you can see the category number range. When “gastronomía” is selected, the number range hides. Thanks. I didn’t see that. regards

Great to hear that everything is sorted out.

Update to the question, try to add a GET parameter in the URL ?reset_filters_cache=true like this mysite.com/someurl/?reset_filters_cache=true

Best Regards,

I am using AIOSEO, I did this but it didn’t work

function wpdocs_filter_wp_title( $title, $sep ) { global $paged, $page; } add_filter( ‘wp_title’, ‘wpdocs_filter_wp_title’, 10, 2 );

if ( is_feed() )
    return $title;

if (isset($_GET['ordr']) && $_GET['ordr'] == 'date-desc') {
    return 'New Arrivals';
}

return $title;

I have another question though. When I search ‘chanel’, which is one of the attributes I have, the results aren’t able to show. is it possible to modify the search results through a hook or something, so the search can also search for the attributes term? https://www.labagatory.com/shop/?srch=chanel&ordr=date-desc

Hi kbxiankode,

Well, the answer was provided about changing the title if you are using our plugin SEO Rules or not using it. In that case, you need another solution and it would require already knowledge of the SEO plugin that you are using.

Well if you are referring to the filter everything search field it is searching by title, description, and SKU in products. Just a hook won’t help here, it would require some custom coding it order to make it work.

Hi Beni,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

If it becomes necessary to display ACF field labels instead of their values, it is possible to achieve this by incorporating suitable code from the examples provided below into the functions.php of your active theme. However, it is important to bear in mind that this code must be edited to align with the meta key(s) of your ACF field(s). Please find the relevant codes below:

1. ACF field is Taxonomy object – https://gist.github.com/wpserve/0634299bcc67d03bef77119dd20c86e7

2. ACF field is a field with choices – https://gist.github.com/wpserve/48277fc0320239d05b1d6e2c4da3db20

3. ACF field is post object – https://gist.github.com/wpserve/a9a58cb8a37be1472ded53296147cc56

The 3rd example should serve the purpose of fixing your issue.

Thanks a lot, Victor.

That’s great, the plugin is working fine now. Perfect!

Best Regards sairo

Hi sairo,

I’m glad that your problem was solved.

If it is possible I would be thankful for a positive review about the plugin here on CodeCanyon – https://codecanyon.net/item/filter-everything-wordpress-woocommerce-filter/reviews/31634508

Thank you in advance!
Best Regards,

Dum Dum. How did I not see this Thank you, it worked now.

Also, is there any area that I could manually alter some CSS? I wanted to apply some different styles to the filters.

Cheers

You can use custom CSS in the Filters -> Settings -> Experimental -> Custom CSS. To find the needed classes use browser inspect tools. Just like this – https://prnt.sc/NQHBluksa6BG and add styles here for that class – https://prnt.sc/bRMvmdVAIyni and you will have this – https://prnt.sc/Jv0XpLIAGEnE

Got it. Will do Thanks

Hi sizam,

Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.

A the moment there is no such thing. There is only the license that you can see here on CodeCanyon (or there is a multisite license if you are interested in it you can send us a message via PM for more details).

Best Regards,

Hi bigal99,

In general, the plugin does not contain built-in infinite scroll features. But it is compatible with some infinite scroll plugins. For example with this one – https://wordpress.org/plugins/load-more-products-for-woocommerce/ and we are constantly working on the plugin and extending the list of compatibility. The thing is that some of them make a copy of the query and use it to show the results without taking in fact the filtered items.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Excellent! Now it works like it should. Thanks!
