Hi! How do I change the order in which categories are laid out on the frontend to filter?
For example, in Product > Categories they are organized in the following order for parent categories (which I would like on the frontend also): • Live • MP3s • Topic • Level
On the frontend it currently is ordered: • Level • Topic • Live • MP3s
Many thanks for your help! Alina
Hi Alina
You would need to write custom code, to sort it in the manual order using hook “wpc_terms_before_display” – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/hooks/#terms-before-display-hook
Or you can use sorting orders that you can choose from “more options” when you choose the needed filter from the filter set settings.

Thank you!
Hi Victor, There are a few things I’d like to do please, if you can point me in the right direction? I’ve selected a hierarchy to show (so Parent & Child in Taxonomies)
a) Is there a way to get these into a custom order? b) Is there a way to bold, or stylise the Parent categories in the filter, so it’s more obvious than just the + icon?
Thank you 
Hi caroline278
1) It would require writing custom code, to sort it in the manual order using hook “wpc_terms_before_display” – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/hooks/#terms-before-display-hook The sorting starts before the hierarchy view functionality. If after enabling the hierarchy, the order is not what you need, in that case, you can rewrite the checkboxes.php template to your own needs using the Templates Overriding – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/templates-overriding/
2) You can apply CSS manually as each of them has their own ID – https://prnt.sc/kwt7YSRuq4HR So you can check it all using browsing tools, and find the needed ones.

Hi Funkwarrior
We have checked the page with the issue. And it looks like you have some type of optimizer on the site which is preventing normal workability. Try to clear all cache and activate those types of optimization plugins to check if everything starts working normally.

Thank you, but the problem persiste even after deactivation of Autooptimize cache plugin. Have you other suggestions? Thanks

Hi Victor, thank you for your support but, after a few tries, I managed to make it work correctly. I first deactivated the shop page which I don’t need instead of hide it (i think caused problems with canonical url) and also set correctly the post container tag in the settings tab. I also removed the custom one in the filter set (which I set wrong) . Maybe is better to improve the description in the Post Container html id setting telling is overriding the main one? Also I have improved a little the italian language .mo file available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KhK61HZkL35Z_oOdibwkjzmil0WfTJdw?usp=sharing Thank you again, great plugin and great support.
Hi Funkwarrior
We are glad to the that the issue was resolved. You did an amazing job!
Also, thank you so much for updating the Italian localization. We appreciate your hard work and effort on it.

Similar to the issue with incorrect pagination (https://codecanyon.net/comments/30334382), filtered results still include the WooCommerce “Showing x of y results” statement, which is of course completely incorrect. There must be a filter hook that can be used to update this statement for filtered results
Hi fireflywebz
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
If you are having the same issue we have the same instructions.
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.

WooCommerce pagination not updated
I am having the same problem described earlier today by user rickaahz, specifically that pagination persists even after filtered results are loaded and the need for pagination has changed. This would be extremely confusing to visitors, so naturally, I cannot use the plugin in production until the problem is fixed.
You are welcome to view the problem on my staging site here: https://oneearthstage.wpengine.com/store
Hi fireflywebz
The answer was presented in this comment thread – https://codecanyon.net/comments/30334400 please let’s continue the conversation there in order to remove any confusion.

I am using your filter on a page that has sticky posts displayed on the initial query at the top of the listing. These are custom posts, and because WordPress does not natively allow sticky posts for custom posts, I was able to add that functionality and they are sticky. However, WordPress also doesn’t natively allow sticky posts on a non-home page. Again, I was able to create a pre_get_posts function to enable this to happen.
However, on the listing page that uses Filter Everything, the filter search results do not work properly if my query includes the argument (‘wpse_is_home’ => true) which allows the sticky posts to work.
How can I get the Filter Everything search filters work correctly in this scenario?
Note: the filters work great in a template without sticky posts so I know that the plugin is working on the site. It just doesn’t work with the sticky posts in the above-mentioned set-up.
Thank you for your support.
Hi sherriatwmi
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Unfortunately, we cannot help here much. We cannot debug custom codes that were written for this or that functionality, or make them work with our plugin, as this is all out of the scope of support policy here on CodeCanyon.
From our memory, there were some clients who were utilizing a plugin for sticky posts that should always be at the top of the other posts, and it was working well. But we do not have the name of this plugin. We would recommend checking plugins for that.

Hello,
I’ve just puchased this plugin. Looks very good and works quite well. I’ve found out one problem untill now. I’ve set a product filter which should be on all pages with categories. I’ve tried 2 settings for „where to filter“: 1. Product categories + Any category 2. Common WordPress pages + All archive pagesfor this Post Type Both work the same for me: - OK on the desktop (No filter on the Homepage, filter displayed on pages with categories, no filter on product page and other pages) - On the mobile device – the filter button is displayed on the homepage too, but it’s not possible to click on it / it doesnt work. Other pages are same as on desktop and works OK. Questions: 1. Is it possible to make work the filter button on the mobile device only (stay hidden on the desktop)? 2. Is it possible to place working filter button on both homepages desktop and mobile device. (not a fully displayed filtering as on desktop but the button as it is on mobiles)? 3. Is it possible to hide the filter button on the mobile device? My page where you can see the actual setting is www.joe-parts.cz
Thank you for your support Magdalena
Hi Magdalena
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
1) You need to go to the Filters -> Settings -> Experimental -> and turn on “Hide opening widget buttons” It’ll hide the mobile button across all of the pages. Then simply place the shortcode of the mobile button – [fe_open_button] in the same place where you placed the filter widget, it can be the sidebar widget area as a shortcode or however you placed that filter widget on your site.
2) If you want to show the mobile button in desktop mode you can use the breakpoint function, you can place it in your code snippet plugin:
add_filter( 'wpc_mobile_width', 'my_custom_wpc_mobile_width' );
function my_custom_wpc_mobile_width( $width )
{
$width = 1920; // new desired breakpoint in px
return $width;
}
3) You can use CSS to hide the mobile filter button in order to hide it if the screen is smaller than 768px or whatever you want. This CSS should be placed in your theme via customization -> additional CSS.

Hello Victor,
thank you for your answers. Sadly it didn’t work quite well. ;-/
Explanation why I questioned that - I’ve got the eshop www.joe-parts.cz on Storefront template. I’d set up the product filter with „Where to filter“=Common WordPress pages + All archive pages for this Post Type. Results with this setting are: desktop – the filter is displayed and works on all pages with displayed categories – not on homepage, cart or other pages, not on single product page. mobile – homepage – the filter button is displayed but doesn’t work. Here it gives an Error on click – “There is no filter widget with ID 5428 on this page”. – pages as cart, about us etc. – button is displayed but doesn’t work + does nothing on click – no error – all pages with displayed categories – the button is displayed and works OK
The best solution for me would be: All pages (homepage, about us, cart… and also pages with categories or single product pages) – Search field in the menu which would filter all products – on all devices filter on pages with categories as it is now (desktop fully displayed, mobile button) – IMPORTANT – connected with the search bar in the menu Is this possible???
I know I can display default template search bar but it would not be connected to your filtering which is desirable.
Ad 1. - I’ve checked Filters -> Settings -> Experimental -> “Hide opening widget buttons“ – this work. Mobile button is hidden everywhere. - I’ve placed [fe_open_button] into the sidebar widget area where the filter is as a shortcode (I’ve tried as a code also). The button stay hidden.
Ad 2. My second idea which could work for me was – To place the mobile button filtering into the menu an all devices on all pages (homepage included). It should still filter all product categories. Could this work?
Best Regards Magdalena
Hi Magdalena
Well, it is all working correctly on the category archive pages:
https://prnt.sc/R-SDSHtG2uGI – desktop https://prnt.sc/bU0z3YPtbhZv – mobile https://prnt.sc/KQVus66N_l8A – mobilePerhaps the issue is that on the home page, it is not displaying the widget sidebar? And that’s why it is not working.
If you set it on all archive pages, it will set it on the home pages, shop pages, search pages, and archive pages. But those all pages should display a widget sidebar.
IMPORTANT – connected with the search bar in the menu Is this possible
No what you described is not possible.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hello Victor,
thank you for your answer.
I had filtering set on „all archive pages“ while sending you previous message -> desktop – all category archive pages – the filter is displayed and works mobile – all category archive pages – the button is displayed and works – all other pages – button is displayed but doesn’t work + does nothing on click – no error – homepage – I have not change anything. Button doesn’t work but error is not shown anymore.
To test your advice, I’ve set the „about us“ (O nás) page to display widget sidebar. Frontend stay the same (just the width of the display corresponds to widget sidebar). Backend sais „There is no filter set associated with this page. You can set it in the Filter Set -> “Where to filter?” field.“
When I set filtering for „product categories“ + „any category“ – it works the same as setting for „all archive pages“.
1. When I set all pages to display the widget sidebar. Is it possible that all pages will display the same filtering of whole store? Like every single page will show all categories filtering? (Now it works for the category archive pages only and shows specific category with its subcategories and hide leves above itself).
2. If point 1. is not possible. How should I hide not working filter buttorn on mobile on other than category archive pages?
Thank you for your help. Magdalena
Hi Magdalena
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?
Also, please send the link to the pages where you don’t want to display the mobile filter button.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hello Victor, I’ve sent the credentials by PM. Best Regards, Magdalena
We have checked the site and added just ta simple CSS in the Customize -> Advanced CSS:
@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
.page-id-60 .wpc-filters-open-button-container,
.page-id-18 .wpc-filters-open-button-container,
.page-id-20 .wpc-filters-open-button-container,
.page-id-122 .wpc-filters-open-button-container,
.page-id-14 .wpc-filters-open-button-container {
display: none !important;
}
}
So it won’t display a mobile button on those pages. If you add more pages, you simply can add their ID to the CSS in order to hide it there as well.
The 1. option is not possible as those pages do not have anything to filter. The second option we already added how to hide it. If you need to hide on specific category you can use term-number – https://prnt.sc/0-jXBlozJBfV so instead of the .page-id-14 add .term-10 .wpc-filters-open-button-container

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,

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

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!
