Hi psstudiosinc,

Not really, but you can use the ACF custom field and apply it to the posts simply use “select” for the custom field and write down all of the categories as options to choose from, and apply the needed one to each post. In that can you can create a sorting widget by that meta key.

Hi deepcoding,

The shortcode is to display the filter widget if the filter widget is set up in the settings on those pages where you have placed the shortcode.

Basically, if you have category pages, you place a shortcode using a hook or even inside the template however you want, and in the filter set settings in the “Where to filter” choose “Categories or Product Categories” + “Any Category or Certain category name”. Same with singular pages, choose “Pages” + “Name of my page”. If you want to display it on the search page choose “Common WordPress pages” + “Search results page…”

Hi Tuskotrush,

More likely you are using a one-letter prefix for filters. One of them is “s” and by default, WP uses ?s= for searching. That’s why 404 is appearing. We would recommend using unique filter prefixes, which can be changed from Filters -> Settings -> URL Prefixes. Change those prefixes to the unique ones, hit save, and check the workability.

OMG! I spent 2 days for fixing it. You fixed it in 2 minutes

Thank you!

credentials sent. thank you!

Hi pac-nyc,

You have a problem with prefixes – https://prnt.sc/SCxpS6s_rAiu they should be unique, not like categories, attributes, and so on, unique absolutely unique, and do not repeat with other slugs.

Second, you have some issues with prefixes, because those filters that you created are not displayed in the list of URL Prefixes from Filters -> Settings -> URL Prefixes, so we would recommend first fixing all of the prefixes to make them unique.

Thank you. Appreciate you and your assistance!

Hi NetConfig,

Alright, so we are back with the answer. This is simply the issue of the select2 because it is loading first DOM and then applying styles and JS on it to make it look like that. So as long as you are using the updated dropdown it will work like that. On powerful PCs, it is not that visible on the below-average ones it will be more visible.

So it will work like that or you can turn it off and use your own styles without JS and etc.

Thanks Victor – I have used the code from this page in the page and it removes all flickering of the Select2 boxes. I suppose there may be a slight speed / page load impact but it looks a lot cleaner with no flickering!

I simply added that to the custom code in my theme and all is well.

FEP is a lovely plugin!

Hi NetConfig,

Thank you for sharing this solution with others. It seems like a great approach.

Hi tparashchuk,

When you have two filter sets:

1) Set for any Category
2) Set for a Certain category

You will see only the second filter set because it has a higher priority over Any Category. Here is what you can do here.

1) Create a filter set and place it for Any Category 2) Create a filter set for a certain category and include a filter from the first filter set which is set for Any Category. In this case, you will see only one filter set on the page which will have filters from Any Category and the additional filters that you want to place on a certain category.

But in general, you don’t even need to do that, you can make one filter set that will have all of the filters in it, and choose to hide empty terms and hide empty filters. In this case, you will see available filters for products in each category the rest will be hidden.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi centrable,

Try to place the filter set on the certain category page, and check if it will show anything. Also, make sure that you choose the correct query in the “And what to filter”.

More like your category pages have unique queries, that’s why you see those numbers on the empty category page without any products.

Best Regards,
- Victor

I have sent you 2 more links

In link one, there are no products in that category and the filter does not show

In link two, there are only out of stock products in the category but the filter still shows (only for custom)

The ‘Where to filter?’ is set to product categories and ‘any’ (this needs to be the option)

‘And what to filter?’ only shows product query main.

Hi nnpro,

Yes, you can use this code example and write the sorting items as you like:

add_filter('wpc_terms_before_display', 'wpc_sort_terms_as_needed', 10, 2);
function wpc_sort_terms_as_needed($terms, $filter){
    // pa_color - is desired taxonomy
    if ($filter['e_name'] === 'pa_color') {
        // Define the custom sorting order
        $customOrder = array(
            'red',
            'blue',
            'green',
            'purple'
        );

        // Create an associative array to store term objects
        $termMap = array();

        // Populate the term map
        foreach ($terms as $term) {
            $termMap[$term->slug] = $term;
        }

        // Sort the terms based on the custom order
        $sortedTerms = array();
        foreach ($customOrder as $slug) {
            if (isset($termMap[$slug])) {
                $sortedTerms[] = $termMap[$slug];
                unset($termMap[$slug]);
            }
        }

        // Add any remaining terms to the sorted array
        foreach ($termMap as $term) {
            $sortedTerms[] = $term;
        }

        return $sortedTerms;
    }

    return $terms;
}

and this is the results – https://prnt.sc/pYxJUGe6tXVM

Hi ariane1001,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

You can use tags only for years, or you can create an ACF custom field for years and apply them to your posts and simply create a filter set by the years using that custom field meta key (name).

Best Regards,
- Victor

Thanks, I hoped to take it from the publish date because the year is already there but thats not possible? Best regards, Ariane

No, there is no filter by the date yet, but we are planning to add it soon. But for such purposes, we still would use ACF as it is more flexible for this case and in general.

Best Regards,
- Victor

I have found the problem.

I want to exclude posts on this page where the ACF field (true/false) is false/not checked or doesn’t exist. This part of the array is causing te problem. I have tried it first with pre_get_posts. I thought the filter stopped working because of that. But is is because of the meta query in the $args. Do you have an idea how to solve this?

$args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1,// query last 5 posts //’paged’ => $paged, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘orderby’ => ‘publish_date’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘post_type’ => ‘dieren’, ‘meta_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, array( ‘key’ => ‘geadopteerd’, ‘value’ => ‘0’, ‘compare’ => ’==’ ), array( ‘key’ => ‘geadopteerd’, ‘compare’ => ‘NOT EXISTS’ ) ), );

Oke, solved. I made a category and excluded that one. ‘category__not_in’ => 5 , That works!

Hi Cybermissy,

We are glad to hear that the issue was solved.

Hi GueloSuperStar,

Well, you can make such range values in the ACF custom field checkbox, apply those ranges on every product, which have that range of price or anything else that you need manually, and create a filter set by this custom field meta key.

But to make it automatic, no, there is no out-of-the-box solution yet, only with the custom coding.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi GueloSuperStar,

No there is no better way yet, maybe in future it will be updated. In general, you simply can leave the titles empty and you won’t need to hide them at all.

Numerous factors must be taken into consideration when determining the appropriate depth of subcategories, sub-subcategories, and the overall hierarchy of categories. It is crucial to carefully evaluate which categories to display and which not. That’s why there is no option like that out of the box, of course, it might be added with future updates.

So yes, the only way right now is to build your own list of which categories you want to display.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Right Vitor, I understand. But this functionality must be very basic. Being in a product listing that has dozens of subcategories and showing only these subcategories on the side of the filter, and not everything on the site. Do you agree? And doing this manually has no way of having control. But I also understand that the plugin does not have this feature and I must wait. Is there a forecast or place where we can monitor this mapping of improvements and dates? This makes it easier to know whether we should use the plugin at the moment or not.

Hi samucavirtualite,

Actually, it is working like this. You go to the category shoes, and products have let’s say attributes like size and brand, etc., and subcategories like formal, sport, and so on. When you choose to hide empty filter terms and hide empty filters, you will see only the categories that those products have and filters that are available for those products, if shoes don’t have a category of clothes this category will not be displayed.

Hi waezAhmed,

On this page, there are no visible filter widgets that we could test as it is a home page, and other pages have Woo filters. if you are using it on some test page like mysite.com/my-test-page/ please, send the link to this specific page. Because we simply don’t see any filter from our plugin on the home page.

Best Regards,
- Victor

check here pls: https://tuningpoint.ro/filtru-anvelope/ ..../ https://tuningpoint.ro/filtru-jante/.... https://tuningpoint.ro/filtru-tuning/ . here are the 3 filters, thank you!

The pages are absolutely empty, you need to place the filter on the page with products, so you can filter them. And use the container (wrapper) ID or class of those products. So the AJAX will update only the product container (wrapper).

Fixed it, you can ignore this above message.

Have a nice day.

Hi yannickverstichel,

Is it possible for me to replace the text in the dropdown filter: Select “Category” and just have it say “ALL” ?

Hi blaru001,

You have a couple of options for how you can do it:

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. Here is a code example that you need to place in the functions.php file of your active theme:

// 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);

We would recommend 3rd option.

Hi eduardn1,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

As we understand the issue was resolved since there is a filter widget on the page you have sent the link. In general, you should choose in the “Where to filter” option “pages” + “name of your page”
