I have set my first level categories to show only subcategories. The plugin is set to only filter by product attributes, yet there are still filters visible on the categories with “Show only subcategories”. What do?
Hi ickomcdevill,
Can you please provide a bit more detailed information on the issue? And the link to the page with the issue so we can check it and understand what’s going on, in order to provide information on the issue. Right now it is a bit confusing.
Best Regards,

This is a category, that’s set in WooCommerce to show its sub-categories, rather than products. Filters are still visible and useless. Ideally filters shouldn’t be visible on this page.
A bug I just found – one of my filters doesn’t work. For reference check this page and try out the three filters. The one labeled ‘bug’ returns 404 when used: https://os.etbcrm.art/product-category/%d0%b0%d0%bf%d0%b0%d1%80%d0%b0%d1%82%d1%83%d1%80%d0%b0-%d0%bd%d0%b8%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%be-%d0%bd%d0%b0%d0%bf%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%b6%d0%b5%d0%bd%d0%b8%d0%b5/%d0%b0%d1%80%d0%b5%d1%81%d1%82%d0%be%d1%80%d0%b8-%d0%ba%d0%b0%d1%82%d0%be%d0%b4%d0%bd%d0%b8-%d0%be%d1%82%d0%b2%d0%be%d0%b4%d0%b8%d1%82%d0%b5%d0%bb%d0%b8/If you do not want to see filters on this category page you can hide them via CSS as they all have their unique term class in the body. Or place multiple filter sets separately each filter set on each category page. But we think the CSS solution here is the best.
As to the “bug” issue, change the URL prefix to the unique one for this filter, you can change the URL prefixes from Filters -> Settings -> URL Prefix.

I don’t want to just not see the filters in this particular page. I want the filters to only show in places that make sense. All my categories have subcategories, sometimes up to third level. In the category’s settings, I’ve set that this category should ONLY show its subcategories, not products, not products + subcategories.
There already is the setting “Apply filtering if the page is:” > “Product categories” and you can choose if this should apply to ‘Any category’ or select one specific in the list.
What you should add is: “Show filters on pages displaying 0 products?” 
=======================
Please look deeper into the BUG. I changed the prefix to something completely different and it works now. Let’s replicate the bug:
Prefix in the settings is: ‘broj-polyusi-fazi’ How the browser opens it: ‘broj-polyusifazi’
Therefore it gives 404
Why is that?
P.S: It’s still 404 if I change the url by hand to ‘broj-polyusi-fazi’ https://os.etbcrm.art/product-category/%d0%b0%d0%bf%d0%b0%d1%80%d0%b0%d1%82%d1%83%d1%80%d0%b0-%d0%bd%d0%b8%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%be-%d0%bd%d0%b0%d0%bf%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%b6%d0%b5%d0%bd%d0%b8%d0%b5/%d0%b0%d1%80%d0%b5%d1%81%d1%82%d0%be%d1%80%d0%b8-%d0%ba%d0%b0%d1%82%d0%be%d0%b4%d0%bd%d0%b8-%d0%be%d1%82%d0%b2%d0%be%d0%b4%d0%b8%d1%82%d0%b5%d0%bb%d0%b8/broj-polyusifazi-1/1) A couple of words on how this (show only subcategories) is working under the hood. In fact, those pages also contain WP_Query and select products from the database. They are simply not displayed in the template, only the subcategories are displayed, but the sampling itself is carried out. Therefore, the filters correctly show the numbers of the products on this page. So as we mentioned you can hide it with CSS.
2) We’ll explain it in a simple way.
Think of a URL as a web address. It helps your web browser find and display the right page on the internet. Now, imagine you have a website, and you want to create a new web page with a URL like “category-something.”
But here’s the problem: some other parts of your website or plugins already use the word “category” before the dash ”-” in their URLs. So, when someone tries to visit “category-something,” your website might get confused. It won’t know if they want the new page or something else related to the existing “category.” and you get 404.
To avoid this conflict, you need to be careful when creating new URL prefixes and make sure they don’t use the same words that are already used by other parts of your website or plugins. This way, your website will work smoothly.
We understand that it might look like, oh why they just don’t use the same thing over again, it would be logical. No, it is not working in this way. It is crucial to understand how each piece is working together without conflicting.
Best Regards,

About the 404 and naming issue:
URLs get matched with exact text, not partial text. It will never ever, in an adequately designed system, match with expressions such as SQL’s ‘LIKE’, ‘SUBSTRING’, ‘LEFT’, ‘RIGHT’, aka partial match. I tested some more cases, and it looks like your validation is not working!
1) I have a filter with slug ‘barcode’, if I try to create a new filter with the slug ‘barcode-another’ I will get an error, but now let’s try something else: If I had a filter ‘apples-bananas’ and tried to create a new one with slug ‘apples-bananas-carrots’ – there will be no error I but when using the filter/visiting URL – it will cause a conflict and return 404. So no, the naming scheme is not the problem; your matching is! It’s good that there is such validation, it’s not good that it doesn’t work.
Check this snippet from PLUGIN_DIR/src/Admin/Validator.php:
*// @todo fix bug, when $prefixesList is not array*
public function validatePrefixHyphens( $prefix, $prefixesList )
{
if( strpos( $prefix, '-' ) !== false ){
if( is_array( $prefixesList ) ){
$pieces = explode('-', $prefix, 2 );
$firstPart = $pieces[0];
if( $exist = array_search( $firstPart, $prefixesList ) ){
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
}
When you explode the string, you set a limit ($limit = 2 argument) so you only get the first part, but you compare it to a list of entire prefixes, so to put it into an example: $prefix = “apples-bananas-carrots”; $pieces would become: array( [0] => “apples”, [1] => “bananas-carrots”) $firstPart would become: “apples”
And inside the array search you’re searching for “apples” inside [“apples-bananas”, “apples-another” ... ] – essentially never matching and returning false in the cases where the prefix contains more than one hyphen.
2) Matching substrings left and right like that can and will cause a lot of other problems for no obvious reason and this makes the plugin a huge compatibility risk. Could you please explain to me why the hell is your url matching working like that?
3) Why are filters’ slugs saved as options in the WordPress system, rather than using the values in the post object? Every filter is a post and is listed on the WP_posts table, why is it’s prefix ultimately stored in WP_options?

Hi, great plugin. I just have a small problem here: I need the filter for a custom post type that is not public and doesn’t have a public archive. Unfortunately, Filter Everything does not recognize custom post types set to non-public. Is there a way to solve this via code snippet?
Since you didn’t respond to my question, I just wanted to know if it is possible. If possible, I will renew support to get the solution of course.
Hi simplebird,
We’ll get back to it when we finish with all of the active support members issues.
To check if it is possible or not, would require more information and time that it might look, and it would require the crendentials as well following this document

Subcategory filter not working correctly
When I filter the subcategories, it always shows the same products that the parent category groups together, but it does not filter them. I have checked the filters and cannot find the fault.
Hi Montecor23,
When you are choosing the parent categories it shows all of the products that are inside of the child categories, which is logical. You can use logic “AND” and then it will work as you want to show products separately.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thank you. And I can have a parent category filter and a subcategory filter but separate? so that if I select a parent category, the child filter appears only there. But separate, non-deployable and together. Since the “product category” filter only lets me add one in total… but maybe there is some way to achieve it and I’m not seeing it.
For example:
main1
—-sub1
—-sub2
—-sub3
main1 has products that applied to the main1 category (all products from all subcategories)
sub1 has products that applied to the main1 and sub1 category
sub2 have products that apply to the main1 and sub2 category…
In this case, if you use “AND” logic, then choosing the main1 in the filter will show all of the products from this category, then if you also choose sub1 it will show only products from the sub1 category because products from the sub1 category are applied to the main1 and sub1 categories, this is how “AND” logic works “main1 and sub1”
Best Regards,
- Victor
yes, I understand. I was asking you if it was possible to make a filter for categories and another filter for subcategories because the names of the subcategories are long and when displaying by hierarchies (which I need) the menu is displayed towards the right side and they get together a lot the texts. I imagined that they could be displayed downwards only like accordion tabs or similar. If I choose dropdown, it no longer respects the hierarchies and mixes the categories with the subcategories.
Hi Montecor23,
Ah, now we understand what you were trying to achieve. Unfortunately, there is no option to apply a category filter to both the parent category and its subcategories simultaneously. However, you can add two separate filter sets on the same page and use the include and exclude options as a workaround. However this is not a normal solution, so we suggest using any attribute instead of a parent or subcategory. And creating two filters, one by category and the other by attribute, in this case, they will be separate and independent.

Hi there – my license code is:
63f24dd4-672b-4607-9c45-b57ebdd90e3e
I set it up and it’s all working etc – I have just one filter set with two filters in it – this was all good – using ACF custom field and a taxonomy that I setup – again – all working as expected but now not
I then moved the order of the filters and now the website just doesn’t show the filters – I moved them back again to the original order and still doesn’t show
website is a staging site – here’s the domain:
https://staging-incapablestaircase.kinsta.cloud/I am using Wordpress with Oxygen Builder
Hi bitfunk001,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Order changing does not have anything in common with displaying the filter set on the page.
Perhaps you changed the “Where to filter” or “And what to filter” options. Please check those options and also try to check all of the things you were doing previously and what plugins you have installed.
Best Regards,

Hello me again
license is – 63f24dd4-672b-4607-9c45-b57ebdd90e3e
I re-installed the plugin and still getting issues:
I have ACF with a post type of hosts – inside that there are field groups etc
I have a repeater in oxygen that shows the dynamic data
this is all working
for filter everything I have setup a filter set that looks for custom post type fields
I have set the main filter to NOT hide anything
the two main custom fields the filter should show are days of the week and genres
currently it only shows the labels for posts that contain a field of that type
wheras it should be showing all filters as I have set this to NOT hide them if they are empty
so filter everything is reading the filters from the posts its just not showing all of them when it should be
second issue is that when I click one of the filters it just shows a blank page and not the results
this is the website (staging site):
https://staging-incapablestaircase.kinsta.cloud/ everything was working yesterday and after I moved the order of the filters in the back end it all went wrong and even now after I uninstalled everything, cleared cache, re-signed shortcodes etc in Oxygen – even saved permalinks again like you suggest in docsits broken
please help !
go to the website and click on Jelly Wobble – you can see that her day of the week is ‘Friday’ and on the home page it lists Friday as one of the filters – but when you click ‘Friday’ teh page goes to this url https://staging-incapablestaircase.kinsta.cloud/day-friday/ – and the page is blank
again – was all working fine and now completely broken
P.S. I have setup the settings to say ‘commone Wordpress Pages’ and ‘homepage’ as that’s where the posts are listed
When I do this on the ‘and what to filter’ – it shows ‘No WP queries match…....’ etc
which doesn’t make sense as there definitely are posts on that page with that query – and on the front end teh filters are showing – albeit broken and not working
Hi bitfunk001,
The answer was provided here in this comment thread – https://codecanyon.net/comments/30105022

Hi,
I have installed the FIlter Everything Pro plugin. My goal is to filter product categories based on certain attributes. You can find an example of what I intend to achieve at https://www.furlongflooring.com/flooring/carpet
Seun O.
Hi seuno8,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Can you please explain what type of issues you are facing?
The quick start guide can be found here – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/quickstart/ in case you don’t know how to work with the plugin.
Best Regards,

Hi Victor,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Can the plugin filter by custom taxonomy terms or product tags or product attributes and return filtered product categories and not the products within the product categories that match the filter criteria?
For example, given the URL I provided above, if you filter by “Entrance Matting”, it returns 2 searched results: Magnum and Magnus. These are prdduct categories and not the products.
Please see the screenshot https://prnt.sc/1DTx2Gl8EpD-
Hi seuno8
No, the plugin cannot filter categories, what you can do is create a custom page that will have custom posts with category names, and when clicking on any post it should redirect you to the needed category page, and you can filter those “category” custom posts. That’s a simple workaround to make it work.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor,
Thanks for the explanation above. My thoughts were that the plugin is able to filter based on product categories. Quite disappointing for me. I guess your plugin will not work for my particular use case.
How do I request for a refund?
Best regards, Seun O.
We are not even sure if there are any plugins that can do it, as all of the filters are focused on filtering actual products. What you are looking for is absolutely another functionality, which can be written by custom coding or find any plugin out there, be we never heard about such specific ones.
But with the solution that we presented, you can achieve something close to it.
In general, a refund is possible by the appropriate form from an account where you have bought the plugin.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor,
I cannot agree less with you. Do you have plans to incorporate this functionality into future releases of your plugin?
Concerning the solution you presented, is this something you can look into for me?
A request for refund was submitted yesterday using the appropriate form.
Let me what you think is the best way forward?
Best regards, Seun O.
Hi Seun
Honestly saying, you are the first person asking for such functionality. Which is not very user-friendly. Usually in 99% of cases like on this site – https://nordic-led.no/produktkategori/hjem-fritid/ people create a woocomercce product categories navigation – https://prnt.sc/uuAo8c8Y73ja
This makes sense and works in a fast way, instead of first filtering categories, then choosing any category then filtering the products on those categories.
But if you are not planning to filter products at all, then we cannot help here. Only some custom solutions will help you.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor,
Season’s greetings!
It’s been a while since I was last active in this thread. I’m currently working on adapting your plugin to address the requirements I mentioned earlier.
I’m considering a new approach, where I group all the products returned from the main WP_Query on the product categories template. Subsequently, I would display specific product category details, such as the category name and thumbnail, within the loop. Essentially, the query would still retrieve all products, but the output would focus on displaying product category details rather than the actual products.
Could you guide me to the specific source file in your plugin responsible for presenting filtered product outputs on a particular product category page? I appreciate any assistance you can provide with this.
Best regards, Seun O.
Hi Seun
Our plugin doesn’t select these products from somewhere, it connects to the selection process on a specific page (no matter if it’s the main WP_Query or a custom one written somewhere in the template files or in some plugin) and makes changes to the query process according to the selected filters.
All we can advise is to use native WP hooks that allow you to access the posts selected with WP_Query.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor,
Thank you for the information.
You know your plugin better than I do. Could you direct me to the specific section of your codebase where you integrated with the current WP_Query to enable the filters and narrow down results based on user selections?
I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide a straightforward demonstration illustrating how to fulfill the mentioned requirements.
Best regards, Seun O.
Hi Seun
Unfortunately, we do not have any demonstrations or other stuff like that. As a support team, we are responsible only for the current plugin functionality. Not about extending current functionality.
But if you want to better understand how it is working we suggest you check PluginPro.php and WpManager.php files. There is no 1 file or line where it takes all of those things and just filters it, logic is separated across all of the files as each piece is working with the needed functionality.
You can experiment with the plugin, but we cannot help you with creating the custom functionality that you are looking for, we can only provide basic information on it, and where you should look for it. Those files from above you can check them and understand what is going on there in order to create something that you need. As we previously mentioned there is no one line of the code where it is all working.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor,
I appreciate your effort in providing all the necessary information required to allow me use your plugin achieve the desired results for my current set up. As a matter of fact, I followed one of your earlier instructions which at the time wasn’t too clear. However, after I gave it another read, it became apparent to me what I needed to do to achieve the filtering. Long and short, I’m happy to say that I’ve been able to successfully adapt your plugin to address the concerns I previously raised.
Thank you, Seun O.

Hello, Filter is not working in the product categories.
I have created a Product Archive Page, for Product Categories.
Checkboxes show up but filter doesn’t work.
Please check: https://pmediaweb.com/dev/meatholic/product-category/australian-wagyu/
Hi ahmedtaha510,
Did you try to choose another query from the “And what to filter” dropdown and try if everything is working?
Best Regards,
- Victor
I have tried but still same result. Already spent 2 hours on this trying to figure out the issue. but still it’s not working.
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?
Best Regards,
- Victor
I have sent the credentials. Please check.
Filter doesn’t work either in Product Archive, nor in shop page
https://pmediaweb.com/dev/meatholic/product-category/australian-wagyu/ https://pmediaweb.com/dev/meatholic/shop/This page – https://pmediaweb.com/dev/meatholic/product-category/australian-wagyu/ is the page of the “australian-wagyu” category and the products only have applied this category to them, so there is nothing to filter.
This page – https://pmediaweb.com/dev/meatholic/shop/ we set the filter set and everything is working well as well.
Best Regards,
- Victor
But in the category pages, I also want a filter on the left side.
so user don’t have to go to the shop page and filter Each category.
Is it not possible using this plugin?
The filter widget is filtering products that are presented, on this page – https://pmediaweb.com/dev/meatholic/product-category/australian-wagyu/ there are only presented 3 products with the same category. If you add any attributes to those products you can filter by them.
There is no option to find some other products if you are on a certain category page that is showing only 3 products. It won’t make to show all of the rest products there or return you back to the shop page.
On the shop page you have all of the products, so you can filter them by categories and other attributes that you can add.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Have a look at this example: https://pmediaweb.com/dev/lamaisonaire/products/product-category-chairs/
If you open this URL it’ll open up Products related to “Chairs” category, but from dropdown (Product Category) if you change the category. It’ll change the category & open related products with in a same page. This was accomplished using this plugin as well.
You must have misunderstood something. Here – https://pmediaweb.com/dev/lamaisonaire/products/product-category-chairs/ you have products that are applied to different categories like cair table and so on.
Here – https://pmediaweb.com/dev/meatholic/product-category/australian-wagyu/ you have products that applied to this product category page. Apply other categories to them and you could filter them as well.
Best Regards,
- Victor
How to accomplish that in this case?
Let’s try to explain in another way, the link with tables and beds and other that you presented have products that are from different categories, from table category and bed and other – https://prnt.sc/NbsxZx6mWIBh
Your page has this – https://prnt.sc/Pl1beGVN0JwU 3 products with a Wagyu category, what do you want to filter with category filter on this page? Please explain it to us. If those products have only the Wagyu category, and you have a filter by product categories.

Is there a way to get a list/data of all SEO rules? Any accessible functions available?
I am just looking to fetch a list of active urls (via seo filters)
Hi centrable,
Would you mind providing us with more details on the specific data you’d like to obtain? I’d be happy to assist you in any way I can.
Do you mean by “fetch a list of active URLs” is to have a list of all URLs that will trigger the SEO Rule?
Best Regards,
- Victor
That is correct. I want to create a list of active filter urls so I can then pass this to Google to Index
At this time, there is no possibility of obtaining this data. It would require writing a lot of code, and it would be quite complicated. Maybe with future updates, there will be such a possibility with built in function.
Best Regards,
- Victor
I’m just looking to get the urls, nothing more.
We understand that your request may seem simple to fulfill, but unfortunately, the data is generated dynamically, and there is no stored list in the database that can be accessed at any time. Creating a static list from dynamic data would require a significant amount of coding and effort.
For example, we have SEO Rules with color any and size any, size has 1, 2, and 3 values, and color has a, b, and c values. it would go like this:
mysite.com/1/a/
mysite.com/1/b/
mysite.com/1/c/
mysite.com/2/a/
mysite.com/2/b/
mysite.com/2/c/
mysite.com/3/a/
mysite.com/3/b/
mysite.com/3/c/
The existing rule which employs the use of “any” is just one among many. If we intend to include additional rules, particularly those that involve specific combinations, a different approach may be necessary. In order to ensure accurate data output, it is imperative to account for all variables and specific processes, while disregarding those that are not involved. This necessitates a thorough consideration of all relevant data and calculations. Only by paying close attention to these factors can one hope to achieve precision and reliability in the final results. As such, it is essential to maintain a vigilant and critical approach to data analysis, taking into account all relevant factors and ensuring that no important details are overlooked. Foreach won’t do the trick here.
Best Regards,
- Victor
May I ask, when accessing the ‘SEO Rules’ link on the backend, it shows all the currently stored urls (Title), couldn’t I just use the query that is used to display this list? that is the data I’m needing.
Basically the list (title only) generated by edit.php?post_type=filter-seo-rule
Well, you can examine those links, for example, here is one of them:
…/product-category/{any}/color-{any}/brand-{any}/ram-{any}/volume-{any}
{any} is a dynamic value that will be replaced depending on the category page you are on, and the chosen term from color/brand/ram/volume… filters. It shows only the skeleton.
Best Regards,
- Victor
I need to access this data via php though. I am just looking for the ‘title’ values of the SEO Rules.
Please send us a link to the screen of what you mean by the “title” because we are absolutely confused right now.
Best Regards,
- Victor
If you go to ‘edit.php?post_type=filter-seo-rule’ you are presented with the current seo rules.
You have several columns, The first one is a select column, the second one is named ‘title’ then ‘rule id’ then ‘post type’
I want to access a list of ‘titles’ (urls) via php.
Well here is the code example of how you can get those titles:
function display_filter_seo_rule_titles() {
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'filter-seo-rule',
'posts_per_page' => -1, // Retrieve all posts of this type
);
$custom_query = new WP_Query($args);
if ($custom_query->have_posts()) {
echo '<h2>Titles of "filter-seo-rule" Posts:</h2>';
echo '<ul>';
while ($custom_query->have_posts()) {
$custom_query->the_post();
echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
wp_reset_postdata(); // Restore the original post data
}
}
// Hook the function to a WordPress action
add_action('wp_footer', 'display_filter_seo_rule_titles');
They will be shown in the site page footer like this – https://prnt.sc/KJrCO0yfI6Dv

Perfect. Thank you. I was able to use this data to create an XML sitemap automatically for Google to use.
Filtering not working with pagination
Even if I put a parent container that includes everything ajax on pagination still not works. Maybe because we are using custom div and classes on paginate links? What pagination classes trigger the ajax effects? Example links: viesseauto.com or whatandif.com and many others…

Just fixed, it was missing a paged variable. Now pagination it’s working but not with your plugin -> https://stagingcepar.sg-host.com/nvl/explore/page/3/
Okay, now everything is working, can you please provide your version of the AJAX pagination which was not compatible with our plugin? Or, do you want when the AJAX option is turned on, to force the pagination to update products with the AJAX as well?
Best Regards,

the second one. i want to force pagination when ajax is turned on
In that case, the mystery is solved and we can close it. The plugin has nothing to do with pagination, and it doesn’t care what type of pagination you use on your site. All it does is apply filter terms to show the required products. Therefore, your pagination and our plugin are two separate entities that do not intersect, and our plugin cannot make your pagination work with AJAX.
If you want to update products with AJAX, you must write this functionality for your pagination.

I can’t see the widget in the elementor pro dashboard?
Thanks, Michaela
Hi Michaela,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
In Elementor you can find in in the “WORDPRESS” area (dropdown/section) You cannot find it with Serach as it is strictly the Elementor feature – https://prnt.sc/nXUmA2RT_0T6

Is there a way to show some indicator (like a spinning cycle when to search is performing? Maybe there is already but it does not show at all.
False alarm! I have to enable using Ajax in Settings to have this when performing search.
Hi Panosgrth,

Hey there again, I think I found a tiny bug in your plugin. I have a filter set that uses AJAX, with a text search field and two taxonomies. I set the option to hide empty (tax) terms on the initial filter layout. When I now type in some text into the text search field that yields no results, both taxonomy filters show ‘N/V’ instead of the (greyed-out) taxonomy terms. If I pick ‘never hide’ for empty terms on the filter set options, of course those empty terms show up. Is this a known bug? Since it’s not the ‘initial filters’ when I type text that doesn’t exist in any posts and get the zero result, I’m just ever so slightly confused.
Hi enoversum,
Could you provide us with the link to the page where you are experiencing the issue, along with a step-by-step guide on how to reproduce it? This will help us better understand the problem and provide information on it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor, a very ugly, but practical example is this one: https://dev.boks.li/testpress/veranstaltungen/. To recreate this issue, just create a filter set with at least a text search field and one taxonomy. Set the option for ‘Empty Terms’ to ‘Hide in the initial Filter only’. Make sure to enable AJAX filtering. Then use a search term on the front page that does not exist and let the form AJAX-filter to see the ‘N/V’. If you instead pick ‘Never hide’ for ‘Empty Terms’, the greyed-out taxonomy terms still show. In my case, this is an archive for a custom post type, but I assume it works the same way for posts or pages.
It’s completely normal to see the “N/A” text when searching for something that does not exist while using the plugin. This is because “you asked” the plugin to hide filter terms with counters equal to 0. Therefore, all of the filter terms receive counters of 0 when it didn’t find anything, resulting in the “N/A” text. If you enable the “Hide empty filters” option, all empty filters will be completely hidden.
It won’t make them gray.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor,
what I tried to achieve was to hide empty tax terms initially, so tax terms that have been created, but not connected to any posts won’t show, but as a user filters through, tax terms that are no longer available are still visible, but greyed out. So the user knows what terms were available, but cannot be picked due to his filtering.
If I get you right, with this setting, although valid tax terms are showing and empty ones are only hidden initially, when then using the text search field with a zero-result search term, I can’t avoid having all tax terms removed and replaced with ‘N/V’ (whatever that should mean)?
From the logic of the ‘Empty Terms’ settings, I would have assumed tax terms are only hidden when I access the archive with nothing filtered, hence your naming ‘initial filter’. It turns out that also applies to search results from the text search field. That doesn’t really make sense to me. Would you consider changing this logic, or providing a setting that allows to really only hide empty tax terms initially, i.e. when loading the archive page with no filtering active? As it stands, I can’t even hide or replace the ‘N/V’, as there is no class added to those N/V list elements, just the text.
All the best
Eno
First and foremost, it is important to note that the correct abbreviation for “not available” is N/A, not N/V. It is imperative to use the appropriate terminology in a professional setting to avoid any confusion or misinterpretation of information. Therefore, it is recommended to use N/A as the standard abbreviation for indicating unavailability in business or academic contexts. Long story short, you see the N/A abbreviation when there are no available filter terms with the search line.
This option is working hiding all of the terms dynamically, so of course you won’t see anything, it would require another layer of logig to do so. Which we maybe can add with future updates.
The N/A can be changed from the code, or with the loco translate plugin if you are using it in a other language than English. Also, it can be redefined by the function.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hey Victor,
I can clear up the confusion with ‘N/V’. For whatever reason, in your own translation files, ‘N/A’ has been translated to ‘N/V’ for German. That’s not a correct abbreviation, it would be ‘n.v.’ (nicht verfügbar) instead. Coming from an academic, and linguistic background, this is also important to me. So the ‘N/V’ came from your translation files.
I understand WHY the terms disappear, because it is programmed this way . I wanted to point out that it would make more sense if ‘Hide in the INITIAL filter only’ (as in, when the filter set is loading and nothing is filtered) has been set as an option to still show (the unavailable) tax terms AFTER filtering by keyword. This is what I don’t find logical.
I have no trouble translating your plugin strings, it’s just that I can’t style, hide or replace the list element with the ‘N/A’ inside since it has no distinctive class. I thought about doing a workaround, but having a simple string of text saying ‘N/A’ in a list element makes it rather hard. And I’d rather not change code in your plugin (even though I know where it is).
I’d be happy as a frog in a pond if you could add this kind of functionality (showing unavailable tax terms after filtering by keyword, when choosing ‘Hide in the initial filter only’ as my option for ‘Hide Terms’) to your plugin. It would really make more sense.
All the best, and thanks for your insights and help
Eno
Oh, we understand now. We had initially assumed that you were using the English version, which caused confusion about the N/V rather than N/A. Thank you for pointing this out.
We may consider implementing a similar feature in future updates.
A bit later, we should provide instructions on modifying and adding a class to this element so that you can style it as required.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor,
thanks again for getting back. It would be good if you could change the ‘N/V’ to ‘n.v.’ for the German translation. I know I can do it myself through translation files/plugins, just asking for the sake of correctness of your plugin.
As for the feature, you’d have an even more intense fan here if you implement it. In fact, the project and client I am using my license for is probably not the happiest to have the plugin behave as currently when filtering. I considered it a bug, since the logic behind it struck me as weird, hence my report. But I understand you can’t implement this right away. So thank you for considering it, you must have a lot of bugs and features to work on on a regular basis. 
All the best Eno
Hi enoversum,
We have added it to our list. And will notify you here when it is released. About the N/A or n.v. as in your case, currently, it is not possible to redeclare in roder to change the class, this possibility will be added soon with the next updates.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor,
thanks again for your care, I’ll be happy to receive the info once it’s released. And I already found out there is no way to hook into that function at the moment. I’ll try to relay the info to my customers on whose project I am using your plugin.
Again, thanks for all your help, really appreciated!
All the best

i try your free version and go to buy pro , but what is chip ?

Hi,
I’m using your plugin to filter my products on a “Product category” page template on DIVI.
Is it possible to dynamically display only the child product categories of the current page, like the WordPress “product category list” widget does?
Also, I can't activate my License key for automatic updates. When I add the key, I get an "Unkown error" message...Thanks in advance for your help.
Olivier
Hi boutiquebusiness6,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
To ensure that only child categories are displayed in the filter widget on the current category page, make sure that the products belonging to those categories are placed only in the current category and all of its child categories. If any product has additional categories, it will also be displayed in the filter.
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 Team, I’m interested in categorization links, such as these here on Airbnb: https://guesthook.com/airbnb-categories/ if you see on airbnb website, you can click on the link and it appears to share a new sort of the archive. I can not tell if your filtereverything has the same capability to ‘sort by single link’ this way, but please let me know! Thank you so much for your patient support. Here is a link to airbnb – you’ll hopefully see the top row of categories quite clearly. https://www.airbnb.com/?search_mode=flex_destinations_search&category_tag=Tag%3A5348
Hi norainu87,
So in other words, this is just a simple radio button with an image instead of the checker. You can create something like the brands in here – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/product-category/electronics/laptops/ this is a color swatch feature. And change the styles a bit so you will have the same filter looks with images only.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor – thanks so much. I’m taking steps toward doing this. For some reason only 1 of the radio buttons is appearing: www.equitybound.com/stocks (I have several in ACF fields but only one of them shows – not the first one, just a random one). 1) Any sense on how I can change this to get the rest to appear? 2) Also, is 5 columns the maximum or is there any way I can create more? 3) Is there a way to apply left and right scrolling style to the radio buttons similar to the airbnb link I shared? Thanks always for the guidance and support.
Hi norainu87,
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?
Also, provide the link to the page where you want to place the filter set, so the posts there will have all of the data. Because we are not sure what should it filter on the provided page.
Best Regards,
- Victor
So, I’ve learned more about the problem: I can only select ‘1 single’ radio button in both ACF—> FilterEverything. For the airbnb categorization style to work – I’ll need to be able to select ‘multiple’ buttons. E.g.: One house might be a ‘Tiny house’. It might also be an ‘Amazing Views.’ Any way to do this? Thank you always for your great help.
Or if there is another way to accomplish these filterable categories/links, please let me know. Thank you.
If you want to select a couple of options you can simply choose checkboxes.
But we are still not very sure how you want to make it look at the end. Because the showcase you showed us was a simple long list with radio buttons with images, and you could choose one from them.
If you can somehow present the end result of this as you see it, we might be able to provide more effective assistance in this regard.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor – these clickable icon links are exactly what I’m trying to accomplish: (Categories of types at top)... Can I do that with checkboxes? I did not think checkboxes become clickable links that allow categorization as radios do… https://www.airbnb.com/?search_mode=flex_destinations_search&category_tag=Tag%3A5348
You’ll see categories ‘National Parks, Amazing Views, Tiny Homes, Beachfront’ etc. at top row, enabling users to click the link by category. I’d love to send you a picture if that is not clear. Thank you always.
Actually – nevermind, I’ve figured out the solution. I established ACF as ‘checkboxes’ and left FilterEverything as ‘Radio Button’ and it provided me the option to list radio buttons in link form with multiple radio selections per post. Thanks for all your help.
Hi norainu87,
Great job! It’s wonderful to hear that the issue has been resolved.

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.
Best Regards,
- Victor
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,

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,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
In the “Where to filter” Choose a specific page instead of Any page also choose the correct query in the “And what to filter?” hit update and check the workability.
Best Regards,

Thanks Victor, how and where do I create a post query?
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,

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”
Best Regards,
- Victor
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,

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.
