Hi kirkjames1,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Go to the filter set settings and in the “And what to filter?” choose another query and hit update then check the workability.

Please note, that the plugin does not display products, it is only filtering them. So if the category pages do not display products they won’t appear while applying filters. You need to display products in order to filter them.

I had multiple queries, not sure why. I changed my ‘Where to filter?’ to Common Wordpress Pages -all archive pages for this post type and ‘What to filter?’ to Product query #4. Now it works as expected. Thank you!

Hi kirkjames1,

We are glad to hear that everything is working correctly.

Algright we have found the issue, 4 of the “NW” were added correctly rest of them had space at the end so it was “NW ” instead of “NW” that is your issue. We have deleted the spaces and it is working correctly. Please pay attention to such details when you add the data to those fields as they should be the same.

Best Regards,

I didn’t enter the text but my colleague, can you give me a screenshot of the exact spacing you mean?

It looks like some type of new line or anything else, but it’s not just a space.

2) https://prnt.sc/AYxIXyAy8a1h
3) https://prnt.sc/IFBAcK94jFis
4) https://prnt.sc/2F18_isvxA21

And here is a good fact for you, in the old Region field and new Region field those values are absolutely the same with that new line or other symbol that looks like a space. So in fact no one was adding new data one by one post as they would be for sure different.

Hi support_acemsthailand,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Well, you can place 10 identical filter sets, each with the same filters inside, and select a different query for each set. In theory, this could work together. You can use 10 shortcodes to display all of the filter sets, and you can simply hide them, only leaving one of them. It will make all 10 filters together if they will have the same filters. So in theory when you choose something in one filter set it will be chosen in all of the others as well.

Hi ruslanyh,

From what we should start, realization, right now everything is separated on different things like city attributes pages and categories and so on.

Here is what we would recommend in order to make it user-friendly and easy to keep up with new updates.

You can create three categories, dogs, cats, and products for them (make translations for them of course so each language will have the needed items)

Make those links (at the top of your site) send you to the needed category page, and place a filter set on the desired category for each language. Basically, you will have 3 filter sets (9 sets together as 3 for each language) Dogs, Cats, and Products.

When for example, you go on the Dog page (which should display all of the dogs) you will have a filter set with:
1) Breed
2) City
3) Any Other filters that you have like price etc.

You can make AND logic with radio buttons or dropdowns, so the user can choose one filter term from each filter and show items only that have all of those terms applied to them.

Create SEO Rules like any category + breed + city and when you choose breed and city you get an SEO like:

Buy dog/cat/product… husky/sphynx/toys… in Lviv/Kyiv/Vinnytsia…

The thing is that with product attributes “Any City” won’t work correctly as it will be applied to all of the terms (meaning in different languages as well). If you place them separately it will show correctly.

So a way out from this either create a filter set for each city attribute or change the realization that you have on your site right now. Which one do you think will be better for you and in your case.

Very difficult. Did we understand the point correctly: it is better to create sets of filters in categories, because they will not work correctly in attributes?

Hi ruslanyh,

We tried to explain how to make it easier. Because your approach was looking very difficult to maintain. But currently placing the filter set on “Any Attribute” will display it in all languages. Only if you place it on a specific attribute it will work for each language separately.

Hi mrijnwal,

Go to the filter set settings, choose the needed filter click the more options, and choose how you would like to sort your terms in the “Sort Terms by” dropdown.

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.

Best Regards,
- Victor

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.

Best Regards,
- Victor

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.

Best Regards,
- Victor

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.

Best Regards,
- Victor

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

Hey Victor, yes that worked wonderfull thanks for that, see here: https://prnt.sc/a-3vUNff5V_O

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.

Best Regards,
- Victor
