Hi,

I have Filter Everything Pro installed on the site. I have 3 filters called Vehicle Make, Vehicle Model & Vehicle Year on the front end

On the product i have an ACF field group called Vehicle Fitment which is a repeater containing those 3 taxonomy fields.

Is there anyway to set it so that on the front end it onlys filters for an EXACT match of Vehicle Make, Vehicle Model & Vehicle Year?

At the moment, the repeater just saved all the terms to the product itsself

Hi adamb258

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Unfortunately, the filter is not working with the repeater field due to its dynamic nature. In the case of repeater, all subfields have dynamic keys like “some_0_key”, “some_1_key”, “some_2_key” and so on. Sure, you try to create filters by such keys. However, you don’t know how many times the repeater will be used for a post/product, and in general it is a bad idea to create 10-20 potential filters. Also, all of them will be separate filters like:

Repeater 1
- term 1
- term 2
Repeater 2
- term 3
Repeater 3
- term 4

So, in short, you can filter by the custom fields that were created inside of the group using their meta keys, but the repeater is not working in the way it should in order to create a filtering with it.

Is there a tweak to make it work with a repeater? Are wildcard repeaters supported? Using a % sign?

No unfortunately nothing like that, we are not even sure if there are any filtering plugins that are working with repeater fields.

You can create groups with custom fields and use them for the filtering.

Hi, I’ve got the plugin set up and it’s working great without AJAX, however when turning on AJAX the filtering seems to stop working completely. I’ve tried different classes and IDs following this guide https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-instructions-only/ in case I’d used the wrong one but it doesn’t make any difference.

I’m fairly familiar with WordPress but i have very limited knowledge of AJAX and JS.

Page with the filtering is this one – https://countrywideparkhomes.co.uk/parks/silver-carrs-northumberland/

Try to use this class .elementor-element-39810ed9 for the AJAX container input. Please note that it should be used with the dot.

Everything seems to be working on page now, however the filter overlay and spinner are getting stuck, otherwise everything is working if i manually remove the overlay.

Hi TheWorks18

It could be connected to the errors on the site, you can check them in the console. Or it is caused by a conflict with third-party plugins, so you can try to disable plugins and check it.

Hello. I need to check on which sites I have activated the plugin.

Hi valko-pro

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Please send us the license key via PM so we can check it and provide you with the information on it – https://codecanyon.net/user/fe_support

Hi,we are trying to implement the SEO rules for our filter pages. Our objective is to be able to adjust the h1 on the filtered pages to match the filter, for example, if the service “Cardiology” is selected and the location “Lake Jackson Clinic” is selected, can we have a dynamic page title of “Cardiology specialists near me in Lake Jackson, TX”?

I have tried adding various combinations of SEO rules but am not seeing any changes on the filter pages. I can provide you access to the site if needed.

Hi,

Thanks for your help. It seems to be working now, however I noticed one more issue. Is it possible to create an SEO rule to change the SEO title/h1 when multiple options are selected under the same filter?

For example, what if a user filters out both Cardiology and Dermatology in the filter – then ideally the SEO Title and h1 would be something like “Cardiology, Dermatology Specialists”

No, unfortunately, it is not possible to create SEO Rules when more than one filter term is chosen. It was made like that following good SEO practices.

If your SEO provides a list of “Apple, Samsung, or Acer” and colors “Green, Blue, or Gray” and so on, such sites have a high risk of being marked by the search engines as spamming sites and remove them from the search propositions.

Understood, thank you for the assistance!

Hello! I love the plug in. I have a couple quick questions.

1. Is there a style page to stylize dropdowns and radial buttons? We like this dropdown style (https://demo.filtereverything.pro/genre/epos/)

2. Is there an option for centering a horizontal filter? we are using [fe_widget horizontal=”yes” columns=”3”].

thanks again for all the quick and great help.

Hi wftreptow

1) You can go to the Filters -> Settings -> Experimental and turn on those options – https://prnt.sc/jWKdmWzzTaZT also the styles are inherited from the current theme so they can look differently.

2) Can you please provide more detailed information on what exactly you mean by centering? They are centered, the only thing that can be is that your theme or template for page displaying it not with 100% width and not in the center. Perhaps a link to the page with the issue would help here, so we could check it.

Good Afternoon,

We bought this plugin a couple days ago and wanted to know if it’s possible to receive a refund because it’s not functioning as expected?

It’s not working as expected because we are unable to get it working with the WPBakery Page Builder plugin to display everything.

Thank you

Hi sdpwebmaster

Can you please write a request with a description of what exactly not working from the account where the plugin was purchased? Perhaps we could help you to make it work. Sometimes the plugin settings may look too complicated at the beginning of use. But we’d be more than happy to help you with it.

In general, a refund is possible with the appropriate form from the account where the plugin was purchased. Please note, that the support team is not working with the refunds.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi, We have noticed that the filters in our left sidebar are not working. If you click on each one, you can see that the URL in the address bar changes and there is an empty refresh. We have checked the products and they are all correctly associated. You can verify the issue by visiting the following link: https://www.motech-italia.com/prodotti/rivestimenti/. Thank you,

Hi scmatteo

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Hmm, there is some 301 code (moved permanently) – https://prnt.sc/i5eS8nOgooDH are you sure that you are not using any redirections or anything like that on your site that could cause it?

Also, please try to change the URL prefix for this filter to something unique, so it will look something like this “fe_materiale-rivestimento” Please note that we used _ and not – it is important

Hello, is it possible to change the filtering logic from AND to OR? My problem is: I have created a plugin for several warehouses with the name _custom_stock_sc _custom_stock_online _custom_stock_tt

I have created one filter where I have added 3 custom fields. It works beautifully, but the problem is that I want the customer to be able to click on the sc + online + tt warehouse and give him all the results as if no warehouse was clicked. In other words, at the moment, if the customer clicks on the “sc” warehouse and the “tt” warehouse, only the products that are located in both warehouses will be filtered, but I want the products that are located in at least one of these two warehouses to be filtered. so “OR” logic, but only for these actual fields. It is possible to set something like this for categories, but not for these custom fields, because I can’t create a filter, select the “custom field” type and put more than one custom field there.

No, I create one filter and I have another filter in it as

Categories Price Product size (variants) custom field custom field custom field

It is not possible to put everything into one custom fields filter, as there are 3 different custom fields.

And those custom fields work to filter between other warehouses.

Warehouse A Warehouse B Warehouse C

It is not possible to replace it with one warehouse, as I also physically have 3 warehouses

Unfortunately, there is no such possibility of making certain filters work together, and certain ones work separately and exclude data from others when you choose any filter term in it.

Hi there – love the plugin! I have a very specific usage case that I’m wondering if you can help with…

I’m ideally looking for there to be 3 dropdown menus:

1. Parent category 2. Child category (which will auto update when the parent category is selected) 3. Custom taxonomy

Right now, I have it set up as 3 separate taxonomies but some of the terms listed in the second dropdown aren’t really related to the parent category, which is why I’m hoping there’s a way to implement parent/child categories as dropdowns (rather than checkboxes).

Is this something that can be done? I feel like in theory it should be possible, but struggling to find a combination of settings that would achieve this.

Thank you!

Hi electrickiwi

Theoretically, everything should work fine with the different taxonomies and the “AND” logic on filters. So when you choose in the first filter “car/phone/laptop” in the second one you should see something like “car marks/phone brands/laptop brands” and so on.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi Victor,

Thanks for the reply. So yes, technically it does work but the issue that I’ve got is that some of the items which should be considered “children” of the first dropdown aren’t really related.

That’s why I’m wondering if there is a way to convert this so that dropdown 1 shows the parent categories, and dropdown 2 shows the children of the selected parent.

I hope I’m explaining that ok!

Thanks, Ross

Unfortunately, Ross, it won’t work like that. You can’t create two filters in one filter set by the same taxonomy. Of course, you can try it with two filter sets with “AND” logic. But it will work like one filter and in mobile there would be two separate entities, which means they won’t be displayed under one pop-up widget. And there will be an issue with radio buttons and dropdowns.

I’d like to use this plug-in to filter search results. The search results currently return results from multiple custom post types – is it possible to use this plugin to filter search results by post type (e.g. filter results to only show pages, or posts, or any custom post type results?). Thanks

Hi bauholz

Everything depends on the search plugin has compatible algorithms with the filtering plugin. You can create a filter set only for one post type (not multiple at the same time), so filtering can be done only by one post type.

Can the custom field numeric meta key be dynamic based on url? for /tear-trough/, i want the output to be tear-trough for /smootheye/ i want the output to be smootheye

This is because I save prices for different treatments under different custom fields. If possible, I won’t have to make hundreds of filters. Also wondering the same for the sorting functionality.

Thank you!

I mean that on the landing page https://hittaklinik.se/behandling/tear-trough/ i want to display pris_tear-trough, and on the page https://hittaklinik.se/behandling/smootheye/ i want to display pris_smootheye. Is it possible without creating a filter set per page?

Yes, you can just create a filter set for each page and in the “Where to filter” specify the needed page. But of course it will requre a new filter set for each page.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Definitely not of course, be nice :)

But ok, thanks anyway!

Hi, I can´t save new or existing filter rules any more. It should appear on https://family-fundus.de/test/ but in filter sets I get the error as shown in this screenshot: https://transfer.teambeam.de/rs/v1/download/ordntuugadeg68p8c96ketnzncjq9d217bex6j10/0/Bildschirmfoto%202024-06-26%20um%2011.44.58.png I can´t delete or edit the word “schwierigkeit” and can´t save either. Where is the problem? Can you help?

So all we did was get to the Filters -> Settings -> URL prefixes and added to all of the fe_ and hit save so it updated them all. You can change them now one by one to the needed one. But please use unique prefixes so they won’t cross with already existing ones.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Ok, but I would like to change them all back from fe_thema to -> thema. Why is that not possible any more? Where do I need to delete them. I mean, it worked before, so I would like to use it again. Where are the existing ones?

They are somewhere on your site, either a category name, post type, attribute, taxonomy, and so on.

Hi, When filtering products is there a way to show filtered title anywhere on the page?

Hi arielbredberg

Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.

Can you please provide more detailed information about what are you looking for?

Also, please specify if this is a pre-sale question for the PRO version or a question related to the Freee version of the plugin.

Hello,

I dropped you a message yesterday regarding the new Uncode theme update and the broken layout on mobile view after applying filters. Could you please take a look at the details in my private message?

Thank you!

Hi, I’ve just bought new license with extended support period. Can I send details you mentioned in points 1-3 directly on your support email?

Yes, sure you can send them via PM if you do not want to share them publicly.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Thanks. I’ve just sent you all the details.

Hello, I’m following up on our discussion about plugin support following my purchase of the pro version (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-filtereverything-compatible-with-block-themes/#post-17849147).

Dropdowns no longer work since version 1.8.3 (they worked perfectly in 1.8.2). After a selection, they reload but nothing changes in the page and no variable is passed (in Ajax or string).

As mentioned above, I’ve tried disabling all the other plugins, the select2 options, Ajax, etc., but nothing works.

My theme is a block theme created with Create Block Theme.

What we really missed was that they were created dynamically, so they couldn’t be filtered out because they were breaking everything. So we added a class to your column – https://prnt.sc/9ox5zzBCapR- and specified it in the filter set for this page – https://cchadev.hippocampestudio.fr/evenements/ and here it is in the filter set – https://prnt.sc/L_nrNPahX3P- and everything is working with the latest version of the plugin.

Also, we used file manager and turned off your dropdown template – https://prnt.sc/Cp-rWHVj_oAW by simply renaming that folder. And dropdowns are working. So you might want to debug your template.

Yeah, that’s basically all. Thank you for pointing us to the class issue. We really missed that thing that they could be created dynamically.

Best Regards,
- Victor

ok thanks, it works now! I no longer need the PRO version of the plugin, which I bought just to see if the problem only existed in the free version. How can I get my money back?

In general, a refund is possible with the appropriate form from the account where the plugin was purchased. Please note, that the support team is not working with the refunds.

But this is the lifetime license with the lifetime updates as well. So you always can use it on the needed sites (as you can activate the license on two sites) with all of the PRO features that will be added in future updates.

Hi,

I noticed one problem. The plugin works correctly, but still Woocommerce create thousands URLs with the Woocommerce filter url. Ex.

CORRECT URL WITH YOUR PLUGIN https://********/shop/i-vini-francesi/vino-chardonnay/

UNCORRECT URL GENERATED BY WOOCOMMERCE IN THE BACKEND (SCANNED IN GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLLE)

https://***********/shop/i-vini-francesi/?filters=uvaggi%5B181%5D/

I know my support is expired, but maybe is a quick fix with your experience

Thanks

Hi michaelcodogno

Honestly, you can absolutely ignore it. It is the same as opening even this site and checking the console, there will be errors as well, multiple warnings, etc.

Everything is working correctly, each filter has its URL, so you can copy it, and will be displayed with all of the filters included.

Best Regards,

Hi, im finally getting around to using this plugin and am having a hard time with it. Im looking to create a filter option like the Womens Clothing Example: https://demo.filtereverything.pro/product-category/clothing/women/color-red/brand-hm/c-kind-dress/?max_price=100

Questions: 1. How do I set up filtering by color? 2. For product Type – can i select Categories? Or is the only option here simple, variable etc.. 3. If no to the above, i will use Categories (ex. Kind of Clothing in womens clothing example). Question is – can i only display select categories in this list (ex. we have many sub categories – i do not wish to display all of these). Is this possible?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi MikAtmondo

Following the support guidelines – https://codecanyon.net/item/filter-everything-wordpress-woocommerce-filter/31634508/support only one issue per request, please. So we can make support less confusing more efficient and fair for all of the users.

1) This is called color swatches, please visit this page in order to get information on how you can set it up – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/brands-and-color-swatches/

2) The product type is a Product Type filter. You can make a filter from any taxonomy and attribute and custom field.

3) When you create a filter by categories, you can click “more options” and use the include/exclude functionality in order to remove unnecessary categories from a filter.

Best Regards,

I am using FE Pro on our website which also uses W3 Total Cache. An earlier support ticket regarding this same problem has already been resolved, however the problem persists.

The problem is that the filters just randomly stop working and no longer update the posts on the page. If I then go into the filter and click the update button, it will start to work again. Why is this happening?

I turmed off the W3 Total Cache according to your recommendations and that has helped somewhat, but ultimately the filters always stop working eventually. Having so many different filters on our website means that I have to edit multiple filter sets and click update for each. Having to do this over and over again is starting to become tiresome. Is there a way to prevent this from happening in future? A permanent solution. (Bear in mind that I’ve already disabled the W3 Total Cache caching to resolve this… can’t the plugin be made to work with W3 Total Cache?)

Many thanks in advance,

Anthony

Thanks for the info Victor. Our website is still in development and some of the pages with the filters on have been changed lately, so perhaps that has been the cause of the filters failing and needing to be updated. I’ll look further into this.

One final question, what values do you have for your cache expiry numbers for the opcache and Wp Rocket?

Many thanks,

Anthony

If we remember correctly for the OP

opcache.revalidate_freq: 60 seconds
opcache.max_accelerated_files: 10000
opcache.memory_consumption: 128 MB
opcache.interned_strings_buffer: 8 MB

rocket

Cache Lifespan: 10 hours

Best Regards,
- Victor

Thanks Victor, most helpful. I have configured the opcode cache with the recommended settings and will monitor the site using W3TC. If that fails then I may move over to WP Rocket and compare the differences.

Kind regards,

Anthony

Is there anyway to incorporate more relevant filters within the search results page?

Example link: https://desw2.sg-host.com/?s=Miraculous&post_type=product

I search “Miraculous” but the filter option in the left hand side are not relevant.

Hi matthewm174

Try to create a separate filter set and place it on the “Common WordPress pages + Search page” and then test it.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi, thanks for building a great plugin!

Filter terms are showing but when I select filter terms the posts are not filtered. I am using the post card element within Avada and some ACF. There is no available choice for Query, the AJAX is disabled, and I have no cache plugin installed.

Please let me know, what I am doing wrong. Thank you :-)

Can you please check if everything is working now?

Best Regards,
- Victor

It works now! Thanks a lot :-)

So, all we did was go to the filter set and click the Update button inside it.

Best Regards,
- Victor
