Hello,
1) I can´t get the sliders for numeric taxonomies and time values eg. “3:25”.Could you please tell me how to get it right? It is a webshop for downloadable music tracks with length values I´d like to filter as well.
2) When filtering, the product table disappeares for a part of a second before reloading. It is not too long but still a little bit disturbing. However on your demo page this is not the case. Do you have any solution for that?
Thank you for your help in advance,
Attila
Hi attilajaki,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
1) Values like “3:25” are not numeric values they are text values already, so as an option you can use 3.25 or 3,25 to create a numeric range slider filter.
2) Please send the link to the page so we can check it, also, you can make any video or screens with the problem.

Hi Victor,
thank you for the quick response.
1) The range slider has to filter the duration of the downloadable audio files and it has to output the values in minutes and seconds as 3:25. Is there any way to make this work? Unfortunatly this is a crucial issue…
Thanks,
Attila
Hi Attila
Well, first of all, the range slider can work correctly in seconds only, just to show correct information.
Because if you are working with “time”, which is a specific calculation that has 60 seconds in 1 minute (not 100), you already can’t create a range slider because instead of 1,59 and then going to 2,00 it will go 1,60 and 1,70 and 1,71 and so on, as the range slider is not created to calculate time.
What you can do, is create a custom field let’s call it “duration”, which you will add to each “post” So if the “post” have 3:20 you can set the “duration” to 3 if the post has 4:12 you can set the duration to 4 and then create a range slider by this “duration” custom field and name it duration in minutes only, of course, it won’t count seconds but at lease, with this option, you can filter by minutes.
Or you can create two range sliders, from two different custom fields, in the first one you will choose minutes, and in the second one you will choose second, so if a track has 4:30 you would need to add in minutes custom field 4 and in second for seconds you would need to add 30 in this case with first range slider you choose minutes, and with second one seconds and it will show you a specific track with that time.

Hi Victor,
thank you for your response. I believe what you write (actually It is a custom field what I have for duration). I´m only wondering how it was possible with my slider before (from which I had to switch to yours because of other reasons) and how is possible on all the countless pages selling audio. I´m very sorry but there are also other technical issues arised and I don´t have time to bother with them so I´m politely asking you for a refund.
Best regards, Attila
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?
It would be much easier to see the whole picture and provide information on it. If you have any other issues you can write them down, and we will help you to fix them.
In general, a refund is possible by appropriate form from an account where the plugin was bought.

I have sent you the credentials.
Hi attilajaki
We checked the site and added the solution we talked about: two separate range sliders, one for minutes and one for seconds. Each value has a custom field that you can see when editing a product (track). You are actually adding taxonomy to tracks, not data from custom fields. Since you can see each taxonomy in Products -> Duration and it shouldn’t be created this way, you will have a lot of problems later with this approach. We have added data to the first 3 tracks on the show page for testing purposes only.
Regarding AJAX, there is some plugin on your site that causes problems not only with our plugin but also with your own pagination on the store page. When you click on the second page, it just doesn’t work properly, it continuously loads animation on tracks and so on. Which cannot be played.
In addition to these problems, it also breaks dropdowns, which is very strange.
Not sure why you chose such a realization, and need such a strict range slider that can show tracks that have precise duration with seconds. But there are a lot of options on how to make it more user-friendly.

Hi Victor,
Thank you for your efforts. However, duration filter with two sliders is not an option for me. It has been working for me with another plugin out of the box. You can also check countless websites similar to mine, nowhere I have seen two sliders, one for minute and one for seconds. This is an absolutely no go in regard to UI. (The Ajax seach works now seamlessly, the Query Monitor vaused the trouble). I´m very sorry but unfortunatly this plugin is not for me beacause of the unsolved issue of the duration filter. So in this case I would like to ask for a refund.
Thank you.
Regards, Attila
I have submitted my refund request to Envato. I´m very sorry because otherwise the plugin works fine, it´s just not for me because of the missing feature which we have disussed above,
Thank you again for your help.

Dear Sir or Madam, I would like to use your plugin in combination with WPBakery. here I have some pages where I placed my WooCommerce categories. you can see all products in one category. please would you be so kind and help me to connect your filter with my WPBakery WooCommerce category product page?
Hi Amjex,
We are not sure what you mean by “here I have some pages where I placed my WooCommerce categories” as we do not see any screens or links or at least anything to check. Could you please provide additional information on the issue? So we can resolve it.

Hi kopf-und-stift,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
We could not find the FE filter on this page. But in short speed of the plugin depends on the server hardware and optimization techniques, like it is working on the demo page – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/product-category/clothing/women/ where both are configured correctly.

HI I’m looking for an ajax conditional filter with horizontal display for auto part. (Category +subcategory + attributes +Tag )
I want the user to be able to filter by category part – subcategory – brand vehicle – model – years with the possibility of entering (input) keywords in each section, example:
https://chromium.themes.zone/catalog/Thanks
Hi yacineamotech,
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
There is no possibility to split the category filter on two dropdowns, where you will choose the first parent categories and the second sub-category. You can skip subcategories, and make attributes instead of them, or you can skip the main category and use only attributes which will be easier and faster in realization. Ad create something like this horizontal layout filter

Hi I have a question there are parts for the same makes – model – years of car the structure of searching by: brand – model – years – part category – part subcategory (there are brake disc brands too, so it can have 3 results for example)
1- how does the plugin retrieve the data? to properly structure my database : attribute 1 = car brand ==> Terms = All brands: Audi -BMW -.... / attribute 2 = Model ==> Term = All models: A6 (Audi) – i320.(BMW ) ..... /attribute 3 = Years ==> Term = 2010-2011-2012…....
or
attribute 1 = Audi ==> Terms = A1 -A3 -A6…. (model) /attribute 2 = BMW ==> Terms = i320 -M4…. (model) /.attribute 5 = Years ==> Term = 2010-2011-2012..
Example: brake disc for Audi A3 2017- 2018 and BMW M4 2018-2019-2020 if I do the search: Audi A3 , in the year I have 2019 ? (which is for BMW M4 )?
2- Is this extension compatible with the WooCommerce “High Performance Order Storage (HPOS)” feature?
Thanks
Hi yacineamotech
Thank you for your question. We are not completely sure what you mean by the first part. But we try to answer.
The plugin can filter posts by taxonomy, custom field, and so on.
So what you can do is create a filter with “AND” logic, and create a custom field for each of those attributes. First choose the “automotive brands” BMW, Audi, Toyota, and so on, then choose the model since you are using “AND” logic it will show only models for the current brand.
In general, it is very complicated to explain using cars. But if you find the right approach, everything should work nicely.
We’ve heard of HPOS, but we haven’t had time to explore this topic and what it offers with other technical nuances. Unfortunately, we have nothing to say about this at the time.
Best Regards,

Hi here is an example of a database : structure A (combined)
can the plugin connect the make and model and years separately (red / purple )
or preferably combined with a single attribute (years) structure B in orange
Attachment https://imgur.com/xRsa0THThanks.
Hi yacineamotech
Without going into details, if the posts you want to filter are selected from the Database using WP_Query(), then our filter will be able to filter them.
If you select them somehow differently, using your own SQL-query, then unfortunately our plugin will not be able to filter it.

Hi Can I display two search engines, one horizontally in the home page (which redirects to the product page) and one vertically in the products page with more options Thanks
Hi yacineamotech
You can create a redirection filter set and place it on the home page. You can create another filter set and use it normally as a sidebar filter and place it on that redirection page.

Hi, the filter can combine with categories – subcategory and attribute thanks
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 docs
its 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

Hi bitfunk001,
We have checked the site, and the issue in the way you created it. Actually, there are some script issues on your home page, and perhaps some other issues.
We created a new page and set your filter there, everything is working – https://staging-incapablestaircase.kinsta.cloud/test-page-for-fe/ places the posts using a query with your specific post type, and as you see you can filter them normally and everything is working. Again, a bit weird realization, because for some reason your home page is not the exact titles of your posts, but rather custom field data or any other data.
In any way, you have the example and you can examine it and make it in the same way on the home page to make it all work.

Hi,
How to make your plugin support date filtering with a date field created with ACF plugin ? Does it support date filter and date range filter ?
thanks
Hi osformation,
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
Currently, the plugin does not support date filters. Of course, you can convert the data into a second and filter by it, and in the front convert it back into a date. But it would require custom coding. But date filters should be added soon with new updates.

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,
- Victor
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.
Best Regards,
- Victor
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,
- Victor
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.

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.

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.

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,

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,

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.
Hi seuno8
We are more than happy to hear that you managed to make it work for your case. You did a fantastic job!

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

- Victor
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…
Discussion here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filtering-not-working-with-pagination-2/#post-17167075
Hi gleenk,
Send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document with descriptive information, and everything set up, so we can follow your instructions and see the issue right away.
Best Regards,
- Victor
already sent the credentials.
Hi gleenk,
We have checked the site, and your pagination is simply not working, with our plugin active or not, click on any page and you will see the same results. Well, that should be fixed maybe this is the issue on the current site only like that, but it definitely needs to be fixed in order to move further.
Best Regards,
- Victor
that’s not true: https://www.viesseauto.com/automobili/page/2/ it’s working. cars are different
Here is the link to which you provided the access – https://stagingcepar.sg-host.com/nvl/explore/page/3/ pagination is not working here.
Best Regards,
- Victor
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,
- Victor
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.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi,

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,
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
We are glad to hear that the issue was resolved.
