Hello Victor. Please tell us how can we do this “you need to have a sorting widget inside your widget area in the admin dashboard” using Filter Everything? Thank you

Hi weblike,

You need to go to the widget area from the admin dashboard and place the filter everything – sorting widget – https://prnt.sc/ROY3-oUDP2HB here as you see you can create the needed sorting options.

Then please place the shortcode on the needed place of your page. We just used sider to for to place there a shortcode [fe_sort] – https://prnt.sc/ul5pyamuQn6k

On the page where you have placed the shortcode you will see this message – https://prnt.sc/4E_2qhniG-_w then go back to the the shortcode and use the ID of the needed sorting widget [fe_sort id=”4”]

More about shortcodes you can read here – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/

Best Regards,

Thank you Victor. Great explanation!

Done thanks

Just to confirm I want like this.

Gender -

Male, Female, Unisex

Collections -

Perfume, Aftershave & Cologne, Skin Care, Testers, Gift Sets, Minis, New In, Staff Picks, Accessories

Brands -

List of brands that are on collection page displayed.

Price Range -

Price range

Please ensure this is on all product category pages including when you search a product and click a brand from the brand selection here >https://scenttocoventry.com/brand/armani/

We have checked the site and the issue is that each category page has a unique query. We set the page on the specific category page – https://scenttocoventry.com/product-category/accessories/ and everything is shown correctly. You need to either make the query the same on all pages or create a filter set for each category page.

As to the functionality that you need you can use something liket this example:

<h1>Select an Option</h1> <form id="navigationForm"> <select id="optionSelect" name="options"> <option value="google">Google</option> <option value="yahoo">Yahoo</option> <option value="bing">Bing</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Go"> </form> <script src="script.js"></script>

document.getElementById("navigationForm").addEventListener("submit", function (e) {
    e.preventDefault(); // Prevent the default form submission behavior

    // Get the selected option value
    const selectedOption = document.getElementById("optionSelect").value;

    // Define URL mappings based on selected options
    const urlMappings = {
        google: "https://www.google.com",
        yahoo: "https://www.yahoo.com",
        bing: "https://www.bing.com" 
    };

    // Navigate to the corresponding URL
    if (urlMappings[selectedOption]) {
        window.location.href = urlMappings[selectedOption];
    }
});

Hi ovacreative1,

If you want to place the filter set on the product categories, you need to choose from the “Where to filter” dropdowns “Product categories” + “Any Category”. But it will work correctly if all of the category pages have the same query.

This functionality you can create on your own, basically all you need to do is create a dropdown with different links, and the “Go” button that will send you to the chosen link option male/female.

Again this can be created the same as the previous functionality, just create a list of link to all categories and place it there so it will redirect you to the needed link that was chosen, the filter do not have such functionality. It can redirect you from one page to another only.

We have checked the site and it seems the issue happened because of the Elementor page template that was implemented, or any changes that were made to it. Now each category page has a unique query on it, not like previously when it has the same query across all of those pages. When we set the filter set on a certain category page like this for example – https://wh45ioookj.tempsite.io/product-category/%d7%9e%d7%95%d7%9e%d7%9c%d7%a6%d7%99-%d7%94%d7%a6%d7%95%d7%95%d7%aa/ everything is working but when we choose Any Category it is not working because the queries on the pages are unique. You need to check what are the last changes that were made on the site and those templates. Or create a filter set for each category page.

Hi SeintoSOFT,

Thank you!

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. I’ve created a lot of filters. Redoing everything would take a lot of time! Would you have a technical solution for correcting these warnings without having to redo all the filters in my shop please?

Hi kelprestation,

Well, you’ll still need to delete them from the database to fix the warning. In fact, you can just ignore them as they are just warnings and not errors or anything critical. It shows a warning that it didn’t find the certain option in a filter that was created earlier because there was no such option in older versions. It doesn’t have any impact on the system or plugin workability.

thank you for these explanations, I understand. I’ll have no choice but to leave them.Cordialy. Bruno

This is relating to my previous query. I am disappointed not to have the PRO service up and running as it is still not accepting my license key.

Hi nickm126,

Please send us the license key via PM. Please do not share here any sensitive information. You can find PM here – https://codecanyon.net/user/stepasyuk

Also check this page one more time to be sure you are sending the license key and not the purchase code – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/license-key-issues/

Hi czaczawik,

Out of the box, there is no such ability, but you can write a custom code to make it work like that, keep in mind that those values are used by the filter, just to prevent workability issues. If you do not have enough skills we would recommend hiring a dev from such a platform like Upwork so he will do it for you.

This part with inputs is responsible for showing them:

<div class="wpc-filters-range-wrapper">
                        <div class="wpc-filters-range-column wpc-filters-range-min-column">
                            <?php // if there are value in $_GET we have to put it into field ?>
                            <?php // attr step should be configured in options ?>
                            <input type="number" class="wpc-filters-range-min" name="<?php echo esc_attr( $minName ); ?>" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $min ); ?>" step="<?php echo esc_attr( $filter['step'] ); ?>" data-min="<?php echo esc_attr( $absMin ); ?>" />
                        </div>
                        <div class="wpc-filters-range-column wpc-filters-range-max-column">
                            <input type="number" class="wpc-filters-range-max" name="<?php echo esc_attr( $maxName ); ?>" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $max ); ?>" step="<?php echo esc_attr( $filter['step'] ); ?>" data-max="<?php echo esc_attr( $absMax ); ?>" />
                        </div>
                    </div>

Please note, that we do not write or debug custom codes following the support policy here on CodeCanyon.

My nickname You know already…. What would happen if you added (at)gmail at the end…. hmm. I think it would benefit both parties.

Hi roberttavares,

Our plugin doesn’t apply any limit like that, it is added by some other plugin or custom code. You can try to turn off all of the plugins leave only Filter and Woo with a default theme like 2021 and test everything.

Hi Victor, it seems that Filter Everything conflicts with Elastic Search (or vice versa) so that the Filter Everything results/counts do not reflect actual search results. We have tried to work through these issues, but have not been successful after many attempts so we have decided to go in another direction for filters which is unfortunate because i just purchased 2 Filter Everything Pro licenses, but will not be able to renew. Thank you

Hi roberttavares,

This feature is planned to be added in the future plugin updates, but for the moment it does not work out of the box.

On the other hand, the plugin contains its own hook that allows you to intercept already modified (with filters added) WP_Query and combine it with search engines like Elastic Search or similar.

If you are familiar with PHP coding I think you can find a way how to combine them.

Hi consiglio,

We have checked the site and created another filter set, one we set for a shop page the needed query is number 5 and the second one for category pages the needed query is number 6 and everything is working correctly.

Hi tparashchuk,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Let’s break it all into small parts to understand better.

1) You created in ACF groups of custom fields 2) Do Groups have custom fields with repetitive meta keys? Like group one (length) and group two (length)? 3) You create a filter by that repetitive meta key and you see in filter mixed result?

Is that what is happening? Or do we understand it in the wrong way? Also please send the link to the page with the issue and some screenshots to better understand the situation.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi. Yes Groups have custom fields with repetitive meta keys. Yes i created filter by that repetitive meta key and i see mixed results. Actually it’s meta key “Frame size” and in one group possible values are in inches and in another group possible value in “XS,S,M,L,XL …” I decided not to keep repetitive meta fields and renamed them all, so i do not see mixed result anymore. But i want you to suggest, how to work with repetitive metafields, what strategy to choose, may be you do have an article somewhere. I cant give you the page URL with issue, because i renamed metafields and deleted existing products to add bunch of new.

The thing is that the plugin gets all of the data from the database by that meta key. If you create a couple of fields in different groups using the same meta key, in the database it will choose all of the data by this meta key, so that’s why you see mixed data.

We can recommend always using unique meta keys for each value to prevent any issues and in general as well. Also, please note if you change the meta key in ACF it is not renaming it in the database, and do not delete it as well.

Hi Brian,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

This is your page in Elementor – https://prnt.sc/Fn-O1eTmciG5 It is displayed on the page – https://prnt.sc/b76bw46kvgsB posts are stretched and hide the widget area. Here we added some z-index with background color so you can see it better – https://prnt.sc/0A1CMDRpNyzz

But you have created the site in some of the most unusual ways, mixing Divi and Elementor together it’s all just falling apart. So instead of trying to understand how and why you created pages like that, we created a page “TEST FILTER” and with Elementor placed posts to show business for sale, and placed the Filter Everything Widget just to test it all. We placed on that page a filter set by the name “Filter By” so on this page this is all set up so you can check the workability – https://equitybound.com/test-filter/ first choose any filter term then click the “Search” button.

Please check the page, check the filter set that is placed on that page, and check Elementor as well, to understand how to place it all correctly so it will work.

Hi Victor, thanks for your help. This is clearly not my area of competence and expertise. I work in banking and I’m looking for support on the web dev buildout in its early innings. If you happen to know anyone able to support this on wordpress or even generally with CSS/Python experience, please let me know anytime here or at brian@equitybound.com. I’m searching on Fiverr/upwork/toptal but there are some horror stories and it’s tough. Thanks for troubleshooting the issue above – I’ll take a look at your changes now. I really appreciate your patience and support.

Unfortunately, we cannot recommend any developers to avoid problems if something goes wrong or the developer is not qualified enough.

Hi paolavness,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Perhaps you didn’t choose the correct query, go inside the filter set setting, and in the “And what to filter?” choose another query hit update, and try it’s workability.

Great that worked, thank you!

Hi RCDE1,

Thank you, I just sent the credentials

The issue was in incorrect WP_Query inside the filter set settings in the “And what to filter?” dropdown, we chose the correct one and everything is working correctly now.

Also for a product “JBL EON 615, aktiver Fullrange-Lautsprecher” we set in attributes 4000 just so you can see the range is working because they both had 1000

Hi shone76,

Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.

It’s a one-time payment lifetime license, for two sites to have the ability to activate it on stage and prod sites.

It seems that a couple of things are placed on a single page using this hook – https://prnt.sc/88l1-1i69Vv7 if we just comment it out, the white line is disappearing from the site.

We try to recreate it on our back to check if everything will be displayed correctly.

Hi graygear,

Update information.

The issue was simply in using this hook for chips – https://prnt.sc/Cnq5JwKU5ewC basically removing it from the plugin settings and everything will work correctly.

Wow…. that’s great, I would have never looked there. That seems to fix it. Ill keep playing around with it a bit more. Thanks for all your help.

Hi mishmelsite,

Oh – thanks a lot. Great support by the way which is much appreciated!

Hi lambrianidespanagiotis,

1) Unfortunately there are no predesigned options to choose from, the styling can be done with custom CSS, and we can provide all of the needed information on elements that you want to customize to your styles.

2) If you don’t want to provide access to the wp-admin dashboard then we can do it in another way, you need to send a license key and the site domain name via PM so we can do the registration manually and provide you with the needed information what you need to do next.

3) All you need to do is place the shortcode [fe_widget] in the needed place, there is no need to place a shortcode ID, moreover, the ID will be removed from the shortcode with future updates. You place a shortcode on a page for example “Test” and choose from the filter set settings in the “Where to filter” dropdowns “page” + “test”.

Can you please provide more detailed information on “is not working as expected” so we can provide a solution to this matter? Anf help you to set up the plugin.

Best Regards,
- Victor

1) Yes of course we can assist you with styling.

3) Can you please send your message via PM here – https://codecanyon.net/user/stepasyuk under the “Email Stepasyuk” message? So we can provide the answers via Email.

Best Regards,
- Victor
