Using ACF – Can I filter CPT’s? Can I use this on a custom post archive?
Also I want to have 2 Custom Post Types on my page, can this filter between the 2? Or would I have to use 1 CPT per filter?
Also can this filter using the ACF MAP field?
Hi dailce
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
1) Yes, you can create filters from custom fields that you applied on your CPT and filter by them.
2) Yes, you can use it on your custom archive page.
3) The filter set can filter only one CPT at a time, it cannot filter multiple CPTs. So only 1 CPT per filter set.
4) Do you mean the Google Map field? Can you please provide more detailed information on how exactly you want to use it in the filtering?

Hi there, Before I purchase this I want to know if its possible to achieve the following please.
1. I want to create over 100 posts (which will be profiles) and I need to offer the following filters – Search by first name and last name and then a further filter down by location and gender.
2. How does it work with categories / tags? How can we add a gender and location to a post to make it searchable using your filter plugin.
Thanks in advance
Hi fnhc
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
1) You can create a custom CPT with the name “profiles” using either custom code or plugins for that
2) You can create either separate custom fields or taxonomies in order to create separate filters from them.
3) The search is working with the title and content, so you can place the needed search data like first/last names in the title, and other things in the content. The rest will be handled by the filters. Just remember, one taxonomy => one filter, you need 10 separate filters then create 10 different taxonomies for your posts type or 10 custom fields. So you can create from each of them separate filters.

Hi, I am trying to set up chips to appear. I remember when I first set it up I disabled chips. There was an option where you could turn them on/off. Or that is what I remember, I now don’t see that option anymore and I have added the shortcode [fe_chips], but they don’t show. What am I missing? Thanks
Hi Gekkota-Studio
Can you please send the link to the page with the issue? Also, please provide the information on where you have placed the [fe_chips] shortcode.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor,
Shortcode was added on this page https://projects.gekkota.es/juelconcept/soluciones/, It should appear on top of the grid https://www.screencast.com/t/psgoa7GUMLJy . Site is built with elementor pro.
Thanks
Hi Gekkota-Studio
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

All done!
While you are there, maybe you could check another issue I found, in pagination links at the bottom, when you click “next” it does not take you to the second page of the filtered results. Filter by this brand https://www.screencast.com/t/1CV0dcYX, only one that has 2 pages
Hi Gekkota-Studio
We have checked the site, and it looks like you have some issues with the WP itself or WP configurations.
Here is what we recommend to do, use a local server and install the clean WP on it, then install the WooCommerce and our plugin with Elementor PRO nothing else (leave all of the settings by default as they are), and use the default theme.
Create a page with Elementor, fe widget, and fe chips with products and see if everything will work correctly. Then try to apply the same changes you did on your site, in order to find the root of the issue that causing this.
Best Regards,
- Victor
wow, that is so much work. I disabled all plugins and still not working. I have already spent so long setting up this plugin, seo urls and everything and now this. I don’t use woocomerce on this site but you are telling me to set up a clean site with woocommerce. There should be a way to find the problem without so much work.
I have another site using this plugin, and it happens exactly the same, chips not showing.
Hi Gekkota-Studio
Well, first of all, if you have an issue with WordPress on your site, those errors and warnings can be seen in the WP monitor plugin.
This is how it is on our testing environment – https://prnt.sc/ESK9S2pnil8I as you see absolutely clean without any issues.
This is how it is on your site – https://prnt.sc/XPuQOjn9XipTc you already have some warnings and issues with the wp-config file and more likely you have some more issues in the log and with other things on the site. If the second site is absolutely the same the issue can be there as well.
Unfortunately, we are not debugging server issues and WP installation issues in order to find what exactly is causing them. That’s why recommended you use clean WP on the local server, without any modifications from your side and with or without WooCommerce depending on how you are using it, and with the default theme 2021 as it still has a widget area in order to faster testing.
Best Regards,

Hi there,
Several things:
1.- I can’t see the screenshot from our site, broken link 2.- I have debugged the wp and I get this errors, that are mainly related with your plugin: [08-Jul-2024 13:42:27 UTC] PHP Warning: foreach() argument must be of type array|object, bool given in /XXXXXX/public_html/projects/XXXXXX/wp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/wpc-helpers.php on line 631 [08-Jul-2024 13:42:29 UTC] PHP Deprecated: trim(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /XXXXXXX/public_html/projects/XXXXXXXX/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/src/presenters/canonical-presenter.php on line 49 [08-Jul-2024 13:43:16 UTC] PHP Warning: foreach() argument must be of type array|object, bool given in /XXXXXXXXXX/public_html/projects/XXXXXXXXX/wp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/wpc-default-hooks.php on line 145 [08-Jul-2024 13:43:16 UTC] PHP Warning: foreach() argument must be of type array|object, bool given in /XXXXXXXXXXX/public_html/projects/XXXXXXXXXX/wp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/Chips.php on line 32 [08-Jul-2024 13:43:33 UTC] PHP Deprecated: trim(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /XXXXXXXX/public_html/projects/XXXXXXXX/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/src/presenters/canonical-presenter.php on line 49
3.- The other day I asked about another issue with pagination, you haven’t told me anything about that.
Thanks.
This is the screen with the errors that we were talking about – https://prnt.sc/kpNtJ2lG4W4i
We tested it many times on our back, with the local server, and on hosting, and everything is working. Even more, this is the first issue like that, we have never had such a request before, so it is unique to your case and server. So there must be something that causing this.
Also, try to downgrade your PHP version for testing to 8.0
As, for the pagination issue, if you are using the Elementor with the numerical pages it is working normally, when you are using the pagination numerical with “next, previous” it is used for some reason only the base URL to the page, ignoring the current URL with the filters. So this issue is fully addressed to the Elementor.

Hi there, it took me ages to fix the chips, now they are showing. I have fixed all the php errors, but know I notice other problem with the filtering. Sometimes when I use different filters and then use the chips to reset the filtering, loop items stay the same, so if last search was 3 items found, when you reset it, the 3 items remain, not showing all the products. Do you understand? I would share the url privatelly for you to check if you want.
Hi Gekkota-Studio
Yes, please share a link via PM to the page with the issue and instructions on how this issue can be recreated so we can check it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
oh, found out it this problem is when AJAX option is activated, it works ok when I don’t use this option. Is there any way to fix this¿
You can check this page, in order to find the correct container class or ID – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-instructions-only/ alongside other recommendations.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Also, now I have the chips shortcode in right column but it also shows on the left, any way to disable the left one? https://www.screencast.com/t/EUgNZpsIRe
If you are using the filter widget, please check this page – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/filters-widget/ there will be an option to turn it off in order not to show chips.
If you are using a shortcode you can check this page – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/ so if your filter widget shortcode has this parameter show_selected=”yes” it should be removed.

Hello everyone,
I think your plug-in is really excellent. Unfortunately, I have the problem that certain areas are not displayed in the translation.
I have made all the settings for WPML as described in the documentation. It is an ACF selection field.
In other places in the content, you can see that a translation is stored. Scrennshot: https://prnt.sc/tHnUfHUALWMc
Best regards Martin
Hi MartyBLN_82
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
If you used the string translation, then it won’t work for filter terms. If you made filters from taxonomies, custom fields, and so on, you need to translate them all.

Hi again. Filtering shop page was working … and yet no don’t understand why. Still working in the EN version but not at all in the french one. page is https://staging2.esquipulas.fr/boutique/
Also, filtering attributes page was also working and yet not also example https://staging2.esquipulas.fr/attribut-produit/couleur/or/ -> no filter while have filter set on attributes pages (by the way you help me with these pages).
Help welcome because a little bit lost there 
Hi esquipulas
We have checked the site, and changed the query in the filter set here – https://prnt.sc/3r5bkM3ZL16o and on this page, everything is working again – https://staging2.esquipulas.fr/boutique/
You can check other filter sets and check if the correct query is chosen, it can be different and you have them quite a lot on your pages. Do not forget to hit the update button when you change the query.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor thanks for that. True I have a lot of pages. Appreciate your help and will surely renew support at the moment to do it. Not very comfortable with the huge list of queries.
Hi esquipulas
Yeah, the amount of queries depends a lot on the page builder that you are using or page templates, and amount of other plugins with their functionality which can add galleries, and so on, and each of those things could take more than one query.

Hi, we setup a filter for WooCommerce products to check if they are in promotion. We did this by checking the _sale_price meta key with Custom Field Exists.
What we notice right now: that doesn’t take account of the start & end date of the promotion. So products that will be in promotion with start date next month, will be displayed by the filter, although they are not in promotion yet. How can we solve this?
Thanks Thomas
Hi webmaster492
No, unfortunately, right now it is not taking this data into account. This is a very specific functionality we have in plans to make it work with such things, for future updates, but at the moment we do not even have any dates when it can be added.

Hello! I am using the FilterEverythig PRO plugin. My goal is allow front end users to filter custom post type results based on custom fields. Currently, on a test page, the filter is showing all of the options and the number of matching posts. However, when you select anything, no results are visible. The posts widget has a class of ”.hotSauceLoop”, and that is in the HTML id setting on the plugin. The shortcode is in the same container as the posts widget.
Here is a link to my test page: https://hotsaucecentral.com/test/I am thinking this has to do with the “prefix URL” section. My URLS are simply ”/hot-sauce/[Post Title]. I do not know what to enter into this field to bypass this. Each post is standalone and does not have variations.
Also, how does the sorting function work? I dont see settings for that in the widget, but the shortcode is in the documentation.
Hi christhompsonde
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

I have sent the credentials in a PM. Thank you for the quick response.
We have checked the site, and it looks like the issue is in your template. We have created a quick testing page with the loop grid and everything is working perfectly fine, you can test it here – https://hotsaucecentral.com/test-page-for-fe/
Also, we have added one custom field in order to test if ACF fields are set up correctly and it is working without any issues as well.
Best Regards,

Great thank you so much. I have looked it over and I am not sure what I was missing. It is working on the reviews page now as intended. I have 2 follow up questions: 1) Is the page refresh normal when selecting a filter? 2) The documentation has a sorting widget, but I couldnt get that to work with the shortcode. Is that functionality separate from this plugin?
I did figure out the AJAX setup. I have the mobile filter showing up, but it is not appearing when you click on it. And I cant seem to figure out how to get the sorting shortcode to work without the Widgets functionality.
1) You can use AJAX functionality so it won’t refresh the page every time – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-instructions-only/
2) Yes, the sorting widget should be created in the widget area and configured there, and only then you can display it via shortcode – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/#sorting-widget
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thank you very much I got it all figured out. Found docs from Elementor to add the widgets back when using Hello Child theme. Got sorting, AJAX and filtering all working, mobile included. Thank you so much for the prompt responses! Great plugin!

Hi,
I’m having an issue displaying a filter set.
I have a CPT (uitjes), and I’m using a shortcode to paste in the filter set onto my uitjes archive page. The posts are being displayed on the archive page via the loop grid.
You can see here from the screenshot of what my filter set settings are.
However no filters are being displayed on my archive page.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Hi kidsvakantiekorting
Unfortunately, we do not see any type of screenshots at all.
But if you have an archive page or singular page, in the “Where to filter” you should choose the taxonomy + name of the taxonomy or any taxonomy, or if this is a singular page, pages + name of the needed page.
Let us know if it helps you to display the filter on the needed page.
Best Regards,

Hi,
Sorry, must be a formatting issue with the link. Here is the raw link:

Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?
Also, the link to the page where the filtering is not working.
Best Regards,

Okay, sent now. Thanks.
We have checked the site, and the issue looks like in the template that you created. We placed another filter set on the page and it gets displayed, which means that there are second entity somewhere to display the filter widget and it is hidden.
So how it is working?
You have two entities to display the filter widget
1) hidden somewhere
2) displayed
When you apply one filter set to the archive page it is displayed in the hidden entity, when you apply another filter set it is displayed in the second entity which is visible.
Best Regards,

Hi,
I had the filter set in an off-canvas widget in my appearances > widgets page, but I didn’t have the off-canvas widget displayed anywhere. Is it possible that was what was causing the conflict? I have removed the filter set from the off-canvas widget now.
I’ve tested the uitjes archive page out incognito mode and it’s much better now.
However, if I’m logged in and I go to my archive page it looks like this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nc3HeOh3Denbe3FEM2OdNe1pA5NfbtGc/view?usp=sharingI understand this is because the test filter has a higher priority set?
Through incognito mode it looks as it should:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bDLSlQu2xDtrPzyXv2v8XQDNtJn9yvcy/view?usp=sharingHowever when I select binnen/buiten from the weer filter the results seem to revert back to the test filter:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aU7IfGqiiEC1ZXGWvGy1tmZ5OhmRa5Uv/view?usp=sharingThanks
We just simply removed the second filter set from the page and seems like everything is working well. What you saw was probably cache until you chose the filter it was going back to the filter set with higher priority.

Hi,
Works perfectly now. I appreciate the quick response!

Hello!
Could you help me please.
Slider for range in the filter can be seen over my dropdown menu. I guess it’s something with z-index but im not sure.
Do you have any idea how can I fix this?

Hi there. Me again. More an advice than an issue : I want to hide the whole widget when filters are empties. I see you have the option “hide when empty” but it only hide filters, not the widget itself. How are you “recognizing” empty filter ? This could help me to write some extra code to hide also the widget. Thanks by advance for your help.
+ (sorry for the double message) : have a filter set on attributes pages [hide empty terms and hide empty filter]. Not working : see this page by example https://staging2.esquipulas.fr/etiquette-produit/dia-de-los-muertos/ on this tag I have no filter correspondance then the whole filter set appears.
Hi esquipulas
Do you mean hide the widget sidebar area? If yes, then we cannot help here, as the sidebar area is defined by your theme and templates. Our plugins have no influence on it.
The issue with the filter set placed on the tags can be that each tag page has a unique query, or that you have chosen the wrong query from the filter set in the “And what to filter?” dropdown.
We’d recommend here creating 3 filter sets, one for the shop page, one for product categories, and one for product tags.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor thanks for answer. Was not clear : my cuestion is about the way to technically recognize empty filter : is it a query result ? something else ?
About the tags filter set ok I understand but how to recognize the right query because the list you provide is not so … precise 
Thanks !
Eric
You can check the FiltersWidget.php file and study it carefully in order to understand how it works, it is in the \wp-content\plugins\filter-everything-pro\src\Admin\Widgets\FiltersWidget.php
Unfortunately, queries do not have extra data in order to get it to understand which one is responsible for what. So you need to just test it one by one. Choose one query hit update go to the page with filters refresh it and test if it is filtering.
Best Regards,
- Victor
OK thanks. Will open other request now.
Ive followed all the install steps but i get the message ‘filter everything – no one filter set is related to this page’ in the section of the page where its meant to appear.
Im using Divi and added the shortcode to a code module.
Hi evan389
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Please send a screenshot of what you have chosen in the “Where to filter” (where you should specify on which page the filter set will be applied) and also, please send the link to the page where you want to display it so we can check it all.

Hi, I am using Filter Everything in combination with CPT UI. Unfortunately the numeric slider can not be selected. What can I do to make it work? Thanks in advance!
Hi alexbarros31
You need to create a range slider filter either by the “Custom Field Numeric” or if it is a numerical taxonomy from the “Taxonomy Numeric” – https://prnt.sc/LInLbG4UTcMK

Hi! Is it possible to use this plugin to filter Woocommerce products by attributes (not varations, only attributes)? Another question: is it possible to refund if your plugin does not fit my needs after testing?
Hi gustavo214
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
Absolutely, you can filter by the attributes you can create in the Products -> Attributes and apply them to your products. Variations are made from different attributes basically and can be also filtered. So you can filter singular products by the attributes without any issues.
As to the refunds, we are following the CodeCanyon refund policies.

Hello. Can you please provide the CSS for the ajax loader so that I may edit its position? (Currently displayed behind posts and scrolls up and down with the page.) Many thanks!
Hi autelbill
You can find it in the plugin CSS file – https://prnt.sc/SXKzyQIr9OBB assets/css/filter-everything.css and search for a “spinner”
More likely that the issue appears because of the template styles, with higher index values pushing it behind post elements. Also please check console for any errors.

Problem description: We have created filters and products. The filter sees the properties. However, the filter always shows 0 as the number of results. We cannot find the error.
We use Divi Theme, we have deactivated the cache plug-in. (login was sent in direct message)
Hi Wegfindung
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Update, we found the credentials that you have sent.
Best Regards,
- Victor
We have checked the site and the issue in how you applied the attributes to your products, you have added them as custom attributes, and not the ones that you created from Products -> Attributes – https://prnt.sc/6anWhFGey3n7 so we added your one product the correct attribute, and everything is working as it should – https://prnt.sc/7O32HHSrbfkB
Also, you have this plugin – https://prnt.sc/4-g4vKxWkLqe it is causing an issue so the filter set cannot be deleted, so if you deactivate it it can normally delete the filters inside the filter set.

Can I have the filter on the product landing page? Also how do I get the filter on the catagory and tag pages?
Hi wftreptow
If the landing page is set as a home page, you can place a filter set on it by choosing in the “Where to filter” dropdown – “common WordPress pages + Homepage”, or in some cases “Pages + name of the page”.
Same with the product categories, but you should place it on the product category + needed category or any category option. Same with tags.
Best Regards,
- Victor
I have the homepage running the main filter to filter the “products” on the results page it filters everything. I would love the filters to show up the “product pages too.
https://theshopkeys.com/law/Can you please specify, do you mean by it, that you want to display on those pages – https://prnt.sc/5T94oNtwrTeF
Best Regards,
- Victor
yes.
Add a widget area or shortcode with our filter widget to the singular product template and place a filter set like this – https://prnt.sc/uE3HsNuEUxxy the example was for Woo products, but you can use your CPT name pages.
Best Regards,
- Victor
I created the filters. I would like to set Onsale filters, filters based on the quantity available in stock, and filters based on whether it is manage stock or not. How should I do this?
Then I would like to know if it is possible to change the filter label names Ex. Outofstock to Krafghenbur.
Hi vamadivani
You can find the Woo meta keys in the right area when you are editing a filter set – https://prnt.sc/_ATZf5WdCykx with a brief explanation of what they are responsible for.
Also, for the needed filters (the ones that are used for variables) if you have variable products, you need to use from “more options” the option named “Use for variations”
Those labes can be translated to the needed language with the help of Loco Translate plugin.

Hi, can you please have a look on https://family-fundus.de/shop/ (you have the credentials for familienfundus.de) and tell me whether AJAX is running or not (and how I can find out)? I used the HTML ID #tm-main in bith the setting and the filter set. If it´s not running: Is #tm-main the correct ID? What else do I have to do in order to get it running? If AJAX is already running: Why is it so slow? It appears to have no difference to not having activated AJAX. Thanks for any help!
Hi jens151
We have added it with the help of your theme builder that you are using on your site custom class and specified it in the filter set for the shop page.
Best Regards,

Great, thanks, Victor! It seems to work now on desktop, but not on mobile. Can you tell me, where exactly you have added .ajax-update-container-fe so that I can find and maybe adapt it? Thanks!
On the element that is responsible for showing your products. But the issue here is that you placed the pagination outside and it should be in the container that is not connected with the filters. Right now it is like this – https://prnt.sc/3lHdPwZZCxb3
Please follow the instructions from the documentation – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-instructions-only/
In mobile it is working as well, you do not need to pecify to desktop and mobile.

OK, fully understood now! Thanks!
Hi Victor, would you please have a look at the settings of the template at https://family-fundus.de/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=kernel&p=customizer&site=https%3A%2F%2Ffamily-fundus.de%2Fkategorie%2Fschatzsuche%2F ? This works on https://family-fundus.de/kategorie/schatzsuche/, but for some reason the filters don´t work any more after we have made some changes in the grid. But we made sure that the class ajax-update-container-fe is still on the correct position. Can you see the mistake and fix it? You still have access with the user filtereverything Thanks! Jens
Hi Jens
Yes, absolutely, the issue is that you have unique queries on each category page – https://prnt.sc/GZ8eE-jCixdt not sure what type of change you did, but now there is no main query that was displaying all of the products as it was previously. So you need to create a separate filter set for each category page (“Any Category page” will not work now), by choosing the correct query in the “And what to filter”.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hmh, in the template https://family-fundus.de/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=kernel&p=customizer&site=https%3A%2F%2Ffamily-fundus.de%2Fshop%2F it´s the setup before (works on https://family-fundus.de/shop/). In the other template we changed one thing: the grid “mustergrid-produkte” was replaced by the new grid “kategorie-listenansicht@m” or “kategorie-listenansicht@s”. So actually it should still be working, but doesn´t?!
As you see, each page now has a unique custom query on each page that displays your posts, in order to make it work you need to create a filter set for each page.
Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi dear, I just purchased a plugin.
I want to add all attributes, i have them more than 1000. Anyway to do it in bulk? or for example do add custom fields for all attributes?
Hi hermesx
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Unfortunately, the automatically creating filter from all of the attributes is only in the plans, it is not in the plugin functionality yet. We do not have the exact dates when it will released at the moment. But it will be added eventually. As for now, the only way is to create them manually.
