Please help, urgent.
In the free version: “Deprecated: Constant FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING is deprecated in /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/filter-everything/src/Settings/Container.php on line 163.”
I bought your PRO version and got errors:
“Upload problem: json_syntax.” “An error occurred while installing the plugin.”
Hello lucasewall.
I’m sorry for the inconvenience. It seems you use the latest PHP version, but we planned to add its support in the next update.
Please, write me message in PM with your site address and I will help you to solve the issue.
Thank you. Regards.
Hi, the Plugin was janky when I started using it, but I managed to get it to work in parts. Even when it worked, it didn’t show all the ACF filters that were selected, only a few. When I created some extra dummy projects, the whole plugin broke down and is now only showing one filter (without me changing anything in the plugin settings themself). I exchanged the real content with dummy content so it is easier for you to see whas happening.
Any chance to look at the website? the link to the filter page is https://b138v02.myraidbox.de/project/
Hi bora-bora
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
The issue here is how you created those fields. First, you have created a group in the ACF field, and you should add all your custom fields there. But instead, you created another group there, with its meta key, and in that group created sub-fields.
What you should do is just create a new ACF group, and add all of the needed custom fields there, instead of creating inside another group with sub-fields.
Also if you are planning to use the same names for the new custom field please read this page about what type of issues you might get – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/acf/

Hi victor, thanks for the info, now it works. Follow-up question: the customer wants to use the filter as kind of a guided path to find the right organisation in one of two different areas. Some orgs offer only one area, some both. the first filter asks for a decision between the two general areas. the next filters should only show up if the right area was selected in the first filter. At the moment it still shows filter options for the area that was not selected in the first place. (which makes sense because some orgs offer both). Is there a way to also hide children filters if a certain option was selected in the parent filter?
There are no options that you can choose in order to display a certain filter, depending on which filter term is chosen in the parent one.
The only thing that’s available is to hide the filter until you choose any term in the parent.
The closest thing you can do is use “AND” logic for the parent filter, you can change it from the “more options” on the needed filter. And choose to hide empty filters and hide empty terms “always hide”

Hi there,
When I filter my product category page, the pagination is still showed. So for example, when I filter the view with a filter that shows 6 results. I can still click the pagination to go to other pages that don’t show the product with the selected terms.
Ideally when I filter the overview, I only want to view the products with that specific term (in my case a custom field).
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Hi rickaahz
If you are using the AJAX filter, you can find information on which container to choose here – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/plugin-settings/
In short, it should be a container that has inside pagination and products, in order to update both with AJAX.

Hello,
Today i find one problem, that when i choose some filter for more products like this : https://imgur.com/a/VFtG5Rc and try to reload on second page : https://imgur.com/a/3MsmWve after reloading it takes me back to the overall category without a filter ie. I can’t view more than one page of filtered products. Do you know from where this problem could be coming from and how to fix it?
Hi dragoev10
It looks like the issue is because of the pagination, which absolutely ignores the current URL (with filters applied) and just uses the general URL to the next page.
So if the URL is mysite.com/shop/file-1/filter2/ and you click on the second page, it will just do this mysite.com/shop/page/2/ instead of mysite.com/shop/file-1/filter2/page/2/
Also, send the link to the page with the issue so we can check it.

Hello, I use Permalink Manager plugin and maybe problem comes from there. I will write to them if they can help me with this. Thank you about the information!
You can try to use this code in your code snippets plugin:
define( 'FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED', false );
In order to turn off our friendly URL permalink manager. So it will work as GET parameters in the URL instead of a /some/some1/ maybe it can help.
Best Regards,
- Victor
The problem really was from this plugin, but they send me functions, that fix this problem. Thank you a lot, that you have guided me to find out exactly where the problem is coming from! Have a nice weekend!

Hi. Does the PRO work with Avada theme, Custom Post Type with ACF fields and Avada Postcards to display?
Hi besandco
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
Yes, it is working with the Avada theme and ACF CPT. As long as the postcard element uses WP_Query to display products it should work just fine.

How do I search/filter by variations? I cannot work this out!! I have products that have variations. I have created a filter menu and clicked the “use variation” checkbox. But when I either search for a variation or try and find it by filtering, it brings back zero results.
Hi joemartinmd
Ah, so the issue is that you cannot do the search by the product variable product name? Well, the search bar is not doing a search in variations it is utilizing the WP default search algorithms. You can create a filter that can filter by your variations. However the search will not work with product variations, and the search is done by the title, description, and product SKU. But in the future, we are planning to extend this functionality and make it more efficient to cover all of the cases.
Best Regards,
- Victor
How do I create the filter to filter by variations? I have tried a couple of things but nothing seems to work.
Can you link us via PM to at least one product that has more than just 1 singular variation?
For example where you can choose the color? So then you need to turn on the color “Use for variations” as this is your variation. If some filters do not have variations that you can choose in the product then you don’t need to “use for variations” on it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Sure. Here is a product that has 3 variations: https://www.themagicofwax.co.uk/product/ghost-of-christmas-past-melts/
However, if you try and locate one of the variations using the filters, you cannot find it. Joe
Of course, it is not working.
1) Your product attribute for variations – https://prnt.sc/4xAyiHXE_maw some shape from not sure where – https://prnt.sc/JJ6cX9Ktx-2o
2) And this is your product attribute which is – https://prnt.sc/mMYYut2V7EaN
3) You need to create variations by the “Wax Melts” not by some “shape” that is written inside the product.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thanks Victor. I have changed the Variation from “shape” to “Wax Melts” and still I cannot find the variations. Sorry, I am propably being really thick here!!
We set it up as an example, For this product – https://www.themagicofwax.co.uk/product/ghost-of-christmas-past-melts/ go to edit it and check how we set it up in the attributes and in variations, we set it randomly as we don’t know which one should be where you can fix it yourself as you know it. (changing the name is not helping you need to add it as an attribute as you already created it)
Now go to the show page you will see the variation – https://www.themagicofwax.co.uk/shop/fragrance-christmas/product_typ-waxmelts/wax-shotpot/
Also, we choose to use variations, only for the “Wax Type” filter as this is the filter that has attributes in products as variations.
You don’t need to turn it for all filters “Use for Variations” only for those that have variations on the products.
Best Regards,
- Victor
I am sorry Victor, I still cannot get it to work. I have tried to replicate what yopu did and the only one I can see as a variation is the ShotPot. I cannot see the SnapBar, the MiniMelts, or anything else. Also, is there a way of hiding the parent product when the variation is being filtered?
You can send 3 or some more products that you were expecting to appear when you are choosing, for example, the “SnapBar” option. So we can check it. Maybe you did some simtake there.
Do you mean to show an image of variation that you are looking for? Or how you wanna hide it?
Best Regards,
- Victor
So I have tried to replicate your example with the following products:
https://www.themagicofwax.co.uk/product/santas-village-melts/ https://www.themagicofwax.co.uk/product/knitted-snowman/I owuld like the main catalogue to show the parent product. But when filtering, the parent should be hidden and only show the variation. For example, on the Ghost Of Chrostmas Past that you edited, when filtering for the ShotPot it shows the parent product AND the ShotPot variation. It should only show the variation.
It seems that we cannot use credentials anymore to check it.
As to showing only variations instead of the one product where you can choose variations, that is impossible. It would require some third-party plugin in order to create variations as separate products, but in that case, it is better to just not create variants, and create just separate products to show them like that.

Hi,
The filter is working well, but H1 title does not change when I filter the products.
I have followed the documentation. Before to create the first SEO Rule I have do setting this https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TFWPkSmg-2fQgQoIi78fCEnwHd8dlcCU/view?usp=sharing and this https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Bws4jPlUPekWy48qGEFl4UQZWItYjpZ1/view?usp=sharing After that, I add SEO rule and update it https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kigbcBU4Lp99h2dKMLgGix8MeMF6FHbE/view?usp=sharing
After I set it all, the H1 title still does not change. Could you help to fix it?
I use woocommerce_page_title() to display the H1 title, and here’s the url of the website https://www.poufspillows.com/product-category/pouffes/
Thank you
Hi PoufsPillows
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Your SEO Rule will work only when you choose 1 term from each of the filters that you chose there as “Any”.
If you want to apply an SEO Rule, when you choose color only then create an SEO Rule only with “Any color” and the rest as without. And then you have to create SEO Rules for combinations, like “any color” “any size” and so on.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi, thank you for the respond.
I have set the SEO Rule only with “Any color” and the rest as without. But it’s just work for 1 colour. When I filter with more than 1 colour it doesn’t work.
Hi PoufsPillows
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi, I have send it. Please check.
Hi PoufsPillows
Ah, everything working as it should. That’s correct it is working only for one filter term from each filter, if you choose a couple of them it won’t work.
This was made to the SEO good practices. As no one searching for example, buy a red or blue, or green iPhone. But if you create such SEO Rules, this can lead to poor website ranking and potential blacklisting by spam filters. To maintain a positive online reputation, it is strongly recommended that businesses adhere to established SEO guidelines and avoid any behaviors that could be perceived as spam or intentional manipulation of search engine rankings.
That’s why it is working like that.

Hi,
Is there option to set global filter set there will add and apply to all others filter sets? e.g. Each sub-categories willhave their own filter sets and I want to have “Brands” filter as global and will add to all other individual filter sets.
Thannks
Hi chris_yks
You can place one filter set on all category pages, and then place other filter sets on certain category pages. In order to display them all you need to place multiple widgets or shortcodes.
But there might be priority and the filter set that is placed on all pages will be changed by the certain filter set, so better to add all of the needed filters in the certain filter sets for certain pages only.

Presale Question 
Does this plugin come with an Elementor widget for front-end filter design customizations? Edit title colors, etc … I know its page builder friendly, but I am wondering if theres a specific FilterEverything elementor widget for the facets? I know a competitor does offer this.
Waiting to hear back, Thank you!
Hi jgillaz
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
You can apply your styles via CSS. There is no ability to edit filter looks with Elementor without CSS.

Hi, looking for support please.
I have the Pro version. I need a simple category filter, which I have created. But I would like it to show the parent/child categories … currently everything looks like a Parent category which is excessive/overwhelming for the viewer. How do I adjust settings so it shows them as parent/child categories.
Thanks so much!

How to I adjust a filter for categories so that it shows them nested under the proper parent category? Right now everything looks like a parent category. Thank you!
I have purchased the Pro so that I may receive support. Thanks.
Hi xisuccess
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
From the filter set settings, you need to choose the needed filter with categories, click “more options” and turn on the hierarchy view option for your category filter. It is working with the checkboxes only at the time.

Hi, we currently have an issue that the filter for 1 language (NL) suddenly disappears after some time. This happens every once in a while. Strangely enough, the filter remains visible for the other 2 languages. We use WPML for the translations. The only way to fix this for the time being is to change the settings in Where to filter.
Website: https://witloft.nl/winkel/
Would like to know how we can solve this permanently.
Hi mastersinwordpress
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
If this is happening only on a certain page, it might be the issue with cache plugins, or the query is changing on that page from time to time, or the slug is changing for that page, that’s why you need to update it from time to time in the “Where to filter” in that case, you would need to update the filter set.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor, it’s only happening on this page: https://witloft.nl/winkel/ for this language. The same filter in the 2 other languages is working fine, so that is the strange thing. Even if we don’t change anything to the site or page it could disappear somehow.
Hi mastersinwordpress
Well, you have this nonstop error going on your site – https://prnt.sc/z_mEAm0UxIJc maybe it is somehow connected. And more likely there are other errors on the site that are not visible in the console.

Hi Victor, thanks. Let met get into this.
Hello
How do I indent the subcategories in the filter widget?
Category 1 – Sub Category 1 – Sub Category 2 – Sub Category 3 Category 2 – Sub Category 1 – Sub Category 2 – Sub Category 3
Hi edwyn
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
If you mean how you can make a hierarchy view of your categories. You can choose the category filter, then click “more options” and turn on the hierarchy view. It is working only with checkboxes at the time.

Hi Victor, as agreed I have already sent the credentials for you to test my website library archive page with filter found at /?post-type=biblioteka
Hi mstorasta
The answer was provided via Email.

Thanks, got it. But then, if I need to include a custom sorting on top of that and add a code snippet – this does not come into the final result, meaning I get the output from filter, but that ignores my sort order defined in this code that modifies default query. Sent the code sample on email yesterday.
Hi mstorasta
As previously the answer was provided via email where you shared all of the info. Let’s keep the conversation there since you provide the data that you might not want to share with others. Because answering in both places might be a bit confusing.

Hey,
Loving the plugin, but I’m having an issue with the “Categories” links.
They all have the structure of “https://batteryfiresolutions.com/product-category/blankets/”
But within the filters, the URL shows as “https://batteryfiresolutions.com/shop/product-category-blankets/”
How do I change the filters within FilterEverything to be a ”/” instead of a ”-”
I’ve tried changing the URL structures but I cant seem to figure it out.
Thanks In advance.
Adam 
Hi Adam
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
First of all those URL prefixes should be unique, they should not repeat any existing slugs on your site. Secondly, if you make it like you want you will have a 404 error. As WP will be confused about which plugin should work with this URL is it Woo WP or FE plugin?
In other words, there is no way to change it the way you want. Also if you already created the filter with the URL prefixes that are absolutely the same as your taxonomy, posts, attributes… slugs, you can change them from Filters -> Settings -> URL Prefixes. so you can name them like prod_cat or anything like that. If you have taxonomy slug prod-somethig then URL prefix prod-another will cause errors, but prod_another will work fine.

I’m using Shoptimizer, and I’ve set up SEO Rules for a specific category with color, but it’s not changing the title and description as I’ve specified. Can you take a look?
https://babystyle.rs/kolica-za-bebe/boja-crna/ And the title and description are from the category https://babystyle.rs/kolica-za-bebe/Hi tukituks
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Make sure that you turn off “Search engine visibility” from WP -> Settings.
In general, there is no support for accounts whose support period has expired following the support policy.

Hello again, okay. I understand. When I renew the license, can I expect you to resolve the issue? Is what I’m asking for feasible?
Hi tukituks

Okay, everything is done. You can take a look. Thank you.
We have checked the site and commented out this product order code from your functions.php file in the child theme – https://prnt.sc/GZYPfRFoILOQ and the SEO Rules are working, it is typical problem with such code as it is not written with the WP standards that’s why it is bit buggy and causing issues.
As to the H1 title, you can make a request to your theme support in order to get the information on what hook you can use in order to change the H1 on your page and specify it in this codem so SEO Rules can change it’s value:
if( class_exists( 'FilterEverything\Filter\Pro\PluginPro' ) ){
$seoFrontend = \FilterEverything\Filter\Container::instance()->getSeoFrontendService();
add_filter( 'your_theme_h1_hook_goes_here', [$seoFrontend, 'seoH1'], -5 );
}
