Hi, I was looking through the comments but couldn’t find my issue: Is it possible to filter search results by post type? Let’s say my search query includes ‘pages’, ‘products’, would it possible to provide a filter option for the different post types? I can add filter options within the post type, but I just want to filter by pages and products.

Hi happycamperdude,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

A bit confusing what you want to achieve. You can filter by one post type, which you choose when you are creating a filter set. Search should correspond to this post type, not just ?s=someText as it will by default find posts pages and products. Should be like ?s=someText&post_type=product

You can place a couple of filter sets on the page for different post types, but if the filters are the same it might show incorrect counters and some other issues might appear.

We are experiencing an issue with Sorting ACF fields on a custom post-type archive page. Page link here: https://stgcoffintrout.wpengine.com/rolex-at-coffin-and-trout/rolex-collection/

The size and material filters work perfectly.

The style and dial filters see that there are posts that contain data attached to the ACF but, when selected, returns no results.

Would you take a look and let me know if there is something that we might be missing?

Hi JohnScottDixon,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Please check this page about ACF what issue it can have and how it can be fixed – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/acf/

Also, this might be a URL prefix issue, if the URL prefix is the same as some slugs in Woo it might be instead of 404 showing no products. Go to filters -> settings -> URL prefixes and change them to the unique ones.

It was a duplicate ACF Field in the database. Thank you so much for your help!

Hi JohnScottDixon,

We are glad to hear the that issue was resolved.

Hi love your product but cannot make it work, purchased pro and just want to filter normal post categories and tags on a wordpress page using elementor. Getting error message : There are no filters in the Filter Set yet. Please add them to the Filter Set related to this page. here are the screenshots with the settings https://mysam.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/filter-everything-elementor.png 2 https://mysam.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/filter-everything-error-message.png 3 https://mysam.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/filter-everything-settings.png thanks

Hi peacecity,

Well we can provide you with an official page from the WP documentation – https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/

In general, when you create for example a page with let’s say Eelemntor you have elements like Posts/Products and then you choose in the query setting of that element which post type to display there. It will be your query.

Archive pages have the same WP_Query as in the official documentation, a bit modified.

Best Regards,
- Victor

our goal is simple: we want to filter post categories and tags using elementor here is what currently shows when clicking on what to filter https://mysam.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/query-filter-everything.png how can we set it up so we can filter through categories and tags from standard wordpress posts? thank you Victor

Hi peacecity,

In “Where to filter” you should choose your custom page if you created it with Elementor like “page” + “My page name” or if you want to place it on the archive page choose “common WordPress pages” + “all archive pages”

Hi there!

Not sure if my first comment appeared. We just purchased FE to filter our blog posts on one page and all of our pages on another. It looks great so far, but the filter itself isn’t working with our page builder. The counters all show 0 and the filter doesn’t allow for users to click on anything. I’ve looked at a ton of tutorials on how to have the filter work with Elementor-type builders, but it just doesn’t seem to take. Would you be able to remedy this for us?

Thank you!

Hi immunizationeconomics,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

Also please provide additional information, what filter, on which page, and link to it, so we can check everything right away.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Thanks Victor! I just sent over the credentials.

Hi immunizationeconomics,

We set up the filter set on that certain news page, and set the correct query in the “And what to filter” Also we set up the AJAX container in that filter set settings in “HTML id or class…” input. So you can test it now.

To the nice folks at Filter Everything Pro.

We have created a filter set, installed it on a page, and it works as expected, as long as the URL of the page is only one directory deep. As soon as we drop the page underneath another one, the filtering function breaks.

Domain.com/parent/ - Everything works.

Domain.com/parent/child/ - Does not work. - To be clear, the query appears to work correctly. The filtered choices show up with the appropriate numbers next to them. When you click on a filtered term, the radio button or checkbox changes correctly. However, after clicking, the results never change. And the URL, which normally adds the filter term into the URL (domain.com/parent/filter-term) also does not change.

Is there a setting we can change, either within Filter Everything Pro or within WP or on the server, that would allow this to work as expected on a child page?

Thanks

Hi brettmwillis,

Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

Also, please provide additional information on the pages where you want the filter widget to be displayed.

credentials sent. thanks.

Hi brettmwillis,

Well, there are two things that need to be solved:

1) Activate the plugin, as it is in the locked status and you cannot update or edit filter sets – “Error: you can not update settings because the Filter Everything Pro plugin is locked. Please, enter your license key to unlock it.”

2) Permalink Manager PRO not compatible with our plugin as our plugin have own permalink manager and all filtering working with URL.

Hey Victor In previous chat as asked me add “Query Monitor” plugin. What does it do? Do we still need it?

you there?

Hi ramsypal,

Yes, you can remove the debug plugin as it is no longer required. Additionally, please note that our support team is unavailable during weekends. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello. I noticed a bug in your plugin or at least something must be improved. On my website I want to sort items by meta keys numeric. The problem is if few posts have the same meta key the order become weird. If I change the page in the pagination, some posts are visible on both pages and some are not visible at all. It seems that if the meta key is the same, you display those posts in random order. I think you should ask to set a fallback order if the sorting is the same. For exemple : sort by numeric meta key, but if identical sort by title or post ID, so the order is constant thru the pagination. Do you understand my problem ? do you have a solution ? Thanks.

Hi guillaumelorain,

We need a more detailed explanation of what you mean by the “if few posts have the same meta key the order becomes weird”. Because you have posts, you have a custom field numeric that applied on those posts, also you add some data in those fields when editing the post.

So you have like:
post1 – numeric field = 100
post2 – numeric field = 100
post3 – numeric field = 300
post4 – numeric field = 200
post5 – numeric field = 400
post6 – numeric field = 100

If you create a sorting option by your numeric field meta key, and choose ASC and DESC you will have posts sorted like this 100, 100, 100, 200, 300, 400, and in reverse. Products that do not have data inside of those fields will not be displayed.

If all numeric values are the same, then there is no point in creating a sorting option for them. Instead, you can create a custom field that you will use specifically for sorting orders that you like, and number them from 1 to N amount. This way, you can choose which posts you want to see first and which ones you want to see last and display them accordingly.

If you have posts with the same numeric values and sort them, those with the same values like 100, will go first in the order of how they were retrieved from the database, and then the last ones will go like 200, 300…

The pagination can be the issue with displaying posts, in any case, we need a link to the page with the issue, and instructions on how to see the issue so we can check it.

Thanks for your reply.

Hey,

I have a very large amount of attributes and I want to turn all of them into filters. How can I do that and save work from adding each attribute to a filter set by hand?

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, the feature you are looking for is not currently available. However, we would love to hear your thoughts and ideas on how we can implement it, the more detailed it would be the better it is. Your suggestions will be shared with our development team for further consideration.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Well for starter, option to automatically add all filters of each type to a filter set – similar to how “Automatically add all top pages” works in WordPress’ menu editor.

Another good feature for you would be to have some of the fields automatically filled in when creating new filters. When I add a new filter by an attribute I have to fill Slug*, Title, More/less. Since the attributes already are defined with a name and a slug – it would make sense to have those fields populated;

Third feature would be “Default settings” in the plugin’s settings. There you would find settings for what happens when you create a new filter. For example: “View in widget” – by default it’s ‘checkboxes’, but now you can set it to something else More/less … Show in Chips

Oh yeah, and the option to export and import filters. :)

Hi ickomcdevill,

“option to automatically add all filters of each type to a filter set” – impossible, filters are made out of custom fields, taxonomies, tags, attributes, and other entities, which are not connected with each other.

“some of the fields automatically filled in when creating new filters” – possible, but won’t be implemented, URL prefixes have to be unique and do not cross with any slugs on the site. If they cross you will face confusion, which plugin should open this page with such a slug? Is it Woo or WP or the Taxonomy page? As a results = a 404 error.

“Default settings” – technically, can be done, but it would require additional storing in the database and additional requests to it every time, which is not a good thing to do, to cover such a thing.

“export and import filters” – now this is something that can be done, and which will technically cover the filter set duplicationsб and will be added with future updates.

Please disregard my issue about the filters for WPML. I figured it out. Thanks.

I have another question regarding Filter Everything PRO

Item Purchase Code: afc2898d-c8b1-47a6-bd90-066c6497e1e0

I’m trying to use this with WPML. I successfully was able to get a translated version of the filters for a custom post type, filtering by a custom taxonomy. However, it only shows one category having records, even though all 8 categories have posts associated with them.

I don’t know if this is an issue with WPML or the plugin. Any ideas?

You can email me back directly at bcleveland@stratabeat.com as the account email on this is the project manager, whereas I’m the developer on the project. Thank you – Brian Cleveland

Hello,

We are using attributes to facilitate product categorization on the Product page. While the categorization of products is functioning correctly, we’re encountering an issue where, upon attempting to navigate to the next page from the categorized products, the product categorization resets, displaying all products once again.

For example, please check the website link below. There are 14 products under the category “Look-Concrete.” Since only 12 products are displayed per page, when navigating to page 2 to view the remaining 2 products, the product categorization disappears, and all products are shown. https://bellariatiles.com/all-products/look-concrete

Please advise on how to resolve this problem.

Thank you.

Hi funpeas,

Well as we previously mentioned answering the same question, you can use this plugin for Woo pagination as it is compatible – https://wordpress.org/plugins/load-more-products-for-woocommerce/

Your AJAX pxl pagination is not compatible with our plugin, of course, if it will add to the URL page like this – https://bellariatiles.com/all-products/look-concrete/page/2/ it might work correctly. But it is not, it is using the original query from the page ignoring filtering results and providing the results on the second page as they would look without any filtering.

I just purchased filter everything pro, and I just can’t seem to get the license key generated. What can I do?

Hi soobongk,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Follow the instructions from this page – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/license-key-issues/ also make sure that you are using incognito mode and the correct account for logging in.

We have been unable to generate a License Key for Filter Everything Pro.

I’ve logged into our Envato account and clicked the “Get License Key” button, after Approving connecting the site to our Envato account, it simply displays a blank page.

Our purchase code is: afc2898d-c8b1-47a6-bd90-066c6497e1e0

Is there any other way to generate the license key so we can have the plugin update?

- Brian Cleveland (Developer)

Hi atrammell1,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Try to do it in incognito mode and make sure that you are logged in with the correct account.

If you have some kind of corporate account or something like that. We had a similar situation once when the user had the labels Purchased, and Supported, but he himself was not the buyer of the plugin but was connected to another account that bought the plugin. Maybe your situation is the same if the incognito mode won’t fix the issue.

This worked! The PRO version is now fully registered. Thank you.

Hello How can i make a Sorting widget with a ACF field ? I want to add a sort with “PRICE” Hight and Low that depend on a ACF custom field. (i not use woocommerce)

Hi isalis,

About the sorting widget, you can read here – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/sorting-widget/

Just create a sorting option using the custom field and use the meta key of the needed field. If you want to filter by numbers use the custom field numeric option.

Hi,

The sales filter is not working correctly.

As you can see in this example, inside our updated staging site, some “not on sale” products shows when “on sale” is filtered: https://env-atlantikos-staging.kinsta.cloud/categoria-produto/alimentos/ofertas-yes/

I’m just created an admin user and sent the credentials via:https://codecanyon.net/user/fe_support#

Tks!

Hi raphaelschaffer,

This is not the issue of the plugin, this is the issue in the product data. You can use this SQL request to clean them:

DELETE FROM `q370_postmeta` WHERE `meta_key` = '_sale_price' AND `meta_value` = ''

Save a backup of the database and run this SQL query. Just keep in mind that there will be a different prefix in the database (instead of q370 use your database prefix). This should fix the problem.

Hello, I have created two filter item i.e. Dropdown of city and country. I have place AND condition in both filter.

The main issue is that when I select item from only only one filter the filter system works. How can I make it so that both filter must have a selected item to filter?

For eg: When I select city name and not select country name i.e. leave country name as – Select Country – I do not want filter to work. I want to request user to select both items to filter.

Hi visasuccessconnect,

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Well, you can do it only with custom code in the “Apply Button” mode. Add condition by clicking the “Apply Button” to check if both filters are chosen and if yes filter posts, if not show your custom message “Please choose City and Country”

By following these links you can find the needed hooks and functions:

Hi,

I translated the filter with wpml and that works :) int shows on every language on desktop but a view iseus …

1 – Ajax is not working 2 – On mobile it only shows on the default language 3 – Within the main language i can change And what to filter? but in the translations i can not, is this why the other 2 dont work maby?

Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

Best Regards,
- Victor

already send

We have checked the site, and there are some deep issues. First of all, AJAX requests always return a 404 error, more likely the server security settings.

Second of all we decided to check the shop page and update it since sometimes there are some errors that it can fix, but when we hit update we get an error: “Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.” and the shop page shows only “Internal Server Error”

We don’t know what can cause such an error but we would recommend checking logs to understand what is causing this behavior, after fixing it everything should work correctly. Let us know when this issue will be removed because such issues are not normal behavior at all.

Hi When a page containing a filter set is viewed on mobile I see a small bordered area that says Filters which contains the filters and a second bordered area that says Filter which runs across the screen and does absolutley nothing that I can see.

I also see the Filters box on the home page which is a different issue but I do not understand why it is showing on the home page when there is no filter set to show on that page.

You can see the first issue on our site at petsware.co.uk and the second if you select Dogs and Wet Dog Food for example from the menu.

Can you advise a solution to each issue please.

Thanks

Hi partnersrrc,

Do you mean that in mobile mode, you can see the “Filters” button? Well in this case you can fix it by going to the Filters -> Settings -> Experimental -> and turning on the “Hide opening widget buttons”. Then place the filter button shortcode [fe_open_button] on the needed page.

Also, perhaps you are referring to the chips? Why do you have two chip areas? If yes, then you can go to the Filters -> Settings -> General -> and remove the unneeded hook from the “Selected Filters (Chips) integration” input field and hit save.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi Thanks for that. I think your Hide Opening Widget Button solution might help get rid of it on teh Home Page though I see no reason why it is there in the first page since there are no filters on that page and no sidebar widget either. Anyway we’ll try that solution.

As for the other issue it is neither Chips nor the Filters Button but another bordered area that says Filter running across the whole page but I think nothing to do with your plugin after deeper investigation.

Thanks for your support. Ian

Let us know if you have managed to fix it all, and what was the issue with “that says Filter running across the whole page”

I’m having an issue between the filters and query on this page: https://wondoor.wpengine.com/sales-team/ Either drop down filter works correctly but when used together they aren’t filtering down. For example if you select Florida from the location dropdown we should see the 3 team members assigned to the Florida location. Then if we select Architectural Consultants we should only see the 1 Architectural Consultant in Florida. Instead I end up seeing all Architectural Consultants. I don’t know if it’s an issue with how the filter is configured or if it’s the way my query is written.

Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

Best Regards,
- Victor

I sent the credentials.

Hi aaronbiby,

We have checked the page and the issue is indeed in that query solution. We have created a test page with Elementor and placed your team members filter on that test page and this is the result – https://prnt.sc/7e-hTemPiGzT everything is working together as it should. You can check the page following this link – https://wondoor.wpengine.com/test-with-elementor/
