Hey there,

I am currently using the Filter Everything plugin on my WordPress site, and I need assistance with setting up a filter for job categories from the WP Job Board plugin. Specifically, I am trying to target the wpjb-category taxonomy used by WP Job Board.

Here is some information about my setup:

WP Job Board Plugin: I have job categories stored in the job->tag->category property. These categories can be strings or objects with a slug property.

I have already created a filter set for job listings and attempted to add a taxonomy filter, but I am not sure if I am selecting the correct taxonomy or configuring it correctly.

Could you please provide guidance on how to properly target the wpjb-category taxonomy for filtering job listings? Any documentation or examples specific to integrating with WP Job Board would be greatly appreciated.

Hi spinkeymedia

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

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 taxonomy attributes that you want to create a filter from, and the page where you have filters so we can test it all right away.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Thanks Victor, Sent you it now

Hi spinkeymedia

We have checked the site, and it took some time. Here is what we found.

1) This plugin creates CPT Jobs. So everything is okay here.

2) The shortcode that you are using in order to display your jobs in a list is not using WP_Query. So that is the first bad thing.

3) We have added a Blog element on the page to display all of those job posts, so it can find this WP_Query and filter those posts.

4) About taxonomy filtering. This is a very bad thing.

There is no taxonomy, at least, there is no classical WordPress way of taxonomies for the post types. It looks like some custom functionality, maybe custom fields, or their own solution for it.

So what you can do is make a request to this plugin support so they can provide information. If this is a custom field, you can use its meta key to create a filter from it.

If you add a custom field on those job posts we are sure you can filter them if they are displayed on the page with the WP_Query as the Blog element does. You can also make a custom taxonomy and apply it to this post type, but their approach is rather unique and does not follow WordPress standards.

We use Yootheme. We want only the filter button to be shown on mobile, being able to expand on click. But we get the open filter view by default. We have “Collapse Filters Widget on Mobile devices”, “Special Pop-up Filters Widget for Mobile”, “Pop-up Filters Widget compatibility mode” ON. But by some reason Collapse Filters Widget on Mobile Devices is light gray https://nimb.ws/f1q6XF0 We tried “Hide opening widget buttons” in Experimental, with [fe_open_button] in widget, it doesn’t help either. You can see the example here: https://cultivejewelry.com/cat/jewelry/bracelets/ What do we do?

Hi zhenekpo

Please fix the “Mixed content issue” on your site – https://prnt.sc/w_Wjk5BrbkKn more likely it will fix it all.

I’m looking into using this plugin for a project I am working on. I would like to know if I am able to use this plugin to add a “stand alone” search bar on my website. For reference, I would like to have a search bar on my website homepage and when a search is entered it will redirect the user to the page that displays the list of search results with the ability to further filter their search with this plugin.

Thank you!

Hi Saltech137

Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.

Yes, you can create a redirection filter, let’s say you want it on the Home page, and it will redirect you to the products page. On the Home page, there will be a filter set with only a search bar, or any filters that you need, and when you hit apply it will redirect you to the products page, with the applied search term or filters that you have chosen.

Also, you would need to create another filter set for the products page, just to filter everything on that page.

Best Regards,
- Victor

That’s great. I appreciate the quick response. Thanks!

You can find instructions on the redirection filter on this page – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/typical-problems/ at the bottom of the article.

Hi again!

Is there a such a possibility that when I use the redirect filter, customer clicks Apply and only a single product meet the criteria, the Shop page with only that single product is not shown, instead the customer is directed straight to the Product page?

Hi adelianbrands

Do you need a redirect filter that will redirect you from, say, the homepage to the store page without applying any filters? Then the answer is no, technically, if you don’t select any filters, and hit the apply button, it will redirect you to the desired page without applying any filters.

Best Regards,

Hi Victor

Thank you very much for the great plugin. I have read in some comments that a dropdown with multiple selection is being planned. Can you tell me what the status of this is? Is this already possible?

Thanks, Philipp

Hi Philipp

You can try to use this hook

function flrt_folding_opened() {
    return apply_filters( 'wpc_folding_opened', [] );
}

To make a code to keep them all closed no matter what without remembering the status.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Hi Victor

I am not able to save the snipped in my functions.php. I get the following message: Cannot redeclare flrt_folding_opened() (previously declared in wp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/wpc-default-hooks.php:314)

Thanks, Philipp

Hi Philipp

This is the hook “wpc_folding_opened” What we send you is a function from the plugin so you can see it fully. This is not a code to make them all closed or open.

What you need to do is write a custom code with the needed logic and apply it on this hook wpc_folding_opened to make it work as you need.

Hi,

I have another question regarding redirect filters. When I select one of the attributes, it starts showing the chips on top. However, on your sample site they don’t show up. How do I get them to hide?

Hi adelianbrands

If you are using the filter widget there is an option to turn it off, you can find instructions here – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/filters-widget/

Also, in the filters -> settings -> General -> there is this field with the hooks on which chips are applied to be displayed – https://prnt.sc/wUrPTSTVOABD

Hi,

Thanks! I now changed it to Widgets and it started working as I want.

Hi adelianbrands

We are happy to hear that it is working as it should now.

NOVICE HERE! When upgrading to the pro, I hoped to get a shortcode and/or module for the PRODUCT SEARCH feature.

I’m using the DIVI builder and would like to add the search bar to the top navigation area for a quicker search option. How would I go about doing this???

Hi leakmarkllc

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

The search field works the same as other filters, it looks for the products that are displayed on the page where the filter set is applied to.

Let’s say, you have a shop page with the filter set applied on it. The search filter that is provided by the plugin will only search for posts on that page. So displaying it alone in the header won’t work like a search bar that will redirect you to the search page template.

You can use the default Woo “Product Search” widget for that.

Hi,

I have one more question. If I want to show the redirection filter in a mega menu dropdown of our page, I don’t find a suitable setting from “Alternative location” that would be able to show the filters on any page you’re at in our store. Isn’t there a setting to just show wherever the Shortcode is triggered? Thanks.

Hi adelianbrands

That will be complicated to do. Either creating filter sets for all types of pages, taxonomies, etc.

Or create a simple custom redirect functionality that will look like a filter, but all it will do is redirect to a page, for example, of a shop, and the page will already have working filters.

Hi! I am using dependent filters to allow the customer to firstly choose Car Make and then they can choose appropriate Car Model. I have built up the Car Make as an attribute where I add cars like Audi, Peugeot etc. Now for the Car Model, do you recommend to create another Attribute where I just list all possible car models (Audi models, Peugeot models etc) or should I use a product tag to create the Car Model? Or is there a third way you recommend? I just want to get the data right the first time and not run into possible issues later.

Hi adelianbrands

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Yes, we’d recommend creating it from product attributes. Car brands with all of the terms, car models, and so on.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Thanks. So I would create one single Attribute for Car Models and it would contain models of all car manufacturers, right? I wouldn’t create separate attributes for each car maker?

Yes, you need to create one single Attribute for Car Models and it would contain models of all car manufacturers.

Hello. I love your plugin and use it on multiple sites, both the Pro and the Free version. However, on one particular install, the filter is adding one extra number to the filter. Ie, when the number should be number 5, it displays a number 6 instead. I’m using custom fields to create property listings with a certain number of bedrooms. It all works great, but when a property has 3 bedrooms, the filter will display 4 instead. Is this a known issue?

Hi thomaspaylor

There was such an issue in the 1.8.5 version but in the current 1.8.6, there is no such an issue.

Best Regards,
- Victor

Thanks Victor. I’m using the free version of the plugin on this particular install. Which is still 1.8.5 in the Wordpress plugin depository. I’ll wait until 1.8.6 is released and hopefully that will solve the issue. Thanks again for your help.

The update for the free version should be released in a couple of days.

Some taxonomies doesn’t filter properly and also some results appeared duplicated.

link to page

Hi ouartwork

We have checked the link, and we could not find any issues with the filtering on the page. Seems like everything is filtering and showing exact posts as filter terms counters show – https://prnt.sc/rQUYVeytpw_x

Hi,

I am having problems showing the seo description on the page, which is the reason I bought this plugin.

I have tried to implement the solution using the SEO Rules troubleshooting: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/seo-rules-troubleshooting/

But without succes… Coul you please take a look at these files and tell me what I should do archive.php and functions.php:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kiTnXTU-JgQ5qyUFA9z16-klj_5x5DcOG_Vk_-YVEIo/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you so much

Hi Remcovanderstruijk

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Unfortunately, we do not provide/debug custom codes/templates. We can provide you with the link to the SEO Rules documentation – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/all-about-seo/ it has more explanatory code examples, and on which hooks it is applied.

So you can use your theme hooks for the SEO description. We’d love to help, but debugging theme templates in order to find the needed hooks or create custom hooks in that template is out of the scope of support policies. You can contact your theme support in order to get the information on the hooks.

Hello, I’m having a problem with Filter Everything Pro.

When I enable the Pop-up Filter widget: The Open button is on every single page.

The Collapse the widget and show the Filters opening button Works but obivously it looks like shit compare to the Pop up widget. (when I say works I mean it doesn’t appear on every page, but maybe that is cause the side bar is only of the product catalogue page

https://petsware.co.uk/

Literally also on the Homepage. except the button does nothing.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eFRCV6ikQe1UXvUas70mji0fbdciiK6b/view?usp=drive_link

the filter sets that I have – As you can see from the link its not on the Homepage.

Hi slipperxx

If you are using the PRO version of the plugin, please make a request from the account where the plugin was purchased. So we can help to solve the issue you are facing.

If you are using the Free version of the plugin, please make a request in the forum section here – https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/filter-everything/

Hello

We purchased your plug-in last week, and I am having trouble creating a product overview page. We want to enable filtering by various manufacturers and base materials (metal, copper). On the next level, different processing methods should be selectable. Our products were created with pages and categorized. I need help to display the page with the filtering functionality. The website can be accessed at www.asmag-group.com, and under “Products” you can find the discussed hierarchy. Please provide prompt assistance – with kind regards. thank you in advance

Hi asmagmarketing

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

A bit confused about the description of the problems, you can make filtering a hierarchy like in this demo – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/posts/

If you created all of those things in one taxonomy, then you would need to create either separate attributes if this is a Woo with the needed terms, or separate taxonomies.

Hi, I have installed the plugin but i am having trouble in filtering the products. The price filter works fine but when it comes to filtering out the products based on category and attributes it does not work. And i am having trouble with Ajax feature as well.

Hi, I used the plugin for auto part web site with 5 filters: Brand – Model – Years – Category Type – Parts you suggested that I use the attributes, but the database is large, for example for the brand attribute I have two columns (Brand + brand name)

1- Is it possible to use tags products with the plugin?

2- Configuration with Woo-commerce: Is it possible to retrieve/display the filter details for each product in the order page (receipt) WordPress admin ?

3- does the plugin work for variable products?

Thanks

Hi Bluetreedigitaldz

1) It is already optimized, you can use OPCache, Redis/Memcache on your site to optimize it even more. But mostly it all depends on the server hardware, latency, and data optimization.

2) No, unfortunately, there is no possibility to mix 2,2,4, or more attributes and tags into one filter.

3) If you are referring to how you can do the custom order for filter terms, you can use the hook “wpc_terms_before_display” Here is an example with custom fields

add_filter('wpc_terms_before_display', 'wpc_sort_terms_as_needed', 10, 2);

function wpc_sort_terms_as_needed($terms, $filter) {
    // Define custom sorting orders for different meta keys
    $sortingOrders = array(
        'meta_key_goes_here1' => array(
            'Text1',
            'Text2',
            '1',
            '10'
        ),
        'meta_key_goes_here2' => array(
            '8',
            '12',
            '90',
            '8T',
            '8 T',
            '18T',
            '40T'
        ),
        // Add more meta keys and their sorting orders as needed
        // 'another_key' => array('term1', 'term2', 'term3'),
    );

    // Check if the current meta key has a custom sorting order
    if (isset($sortingOrders[$filter['e_name']])) {
        $customOrder = $sortingOrders[$filter['e_name']];

        // Create an associative array to store term objects
        $termMap = array();

        // Populate the term map
        foreach ($terms as $term) {
            $termMap[$term->name] = $term;
        }

        // Sort the terms based on the custom order
        $sortedTerms = array();
        foreach ($customOrder as $name) {
            if (isset($termMap[$name])) {
                $sortedTerms[] = $termMap[$name];
                unset($termMap[$name]);
            }
        }

        // Add any remaining terms to the sorted array
        foreach ($termMap as $term) {
            $sortedTerms[] = $term;
        }

        return $sortedTerms;
    }

    return $terms;
}

Hi

>> there is no possibility to mix 2,2,4, or more attributes and tags into one filter

I have 5 filters: brand (attribute) – model (attribute) – years (tag) – category (attribute) – part (attribute)

when you say one filter it is brand only for example? or all 5

for question 3

when I receive orders (in wordpress admin dashboard) I receive the item only (product name) / Qty / Price I want to display the attributes selected by the visitor in the order

Is it possible to retrieve them from your plugin and then display them in the commands?

https://imgur.com/wCTbts3

Thanks

What we mean is that you cannot combine two or more different taxonomies, attributes, tags, or any other entities into one filter. For example, you have a filter set named “Main filter set” where you can create all of the needed filters inside, you cannot make brand and model as one grouped filter. You can create two different filters from them.

If those are Woo custom fields, you can check meta keys for them here – https://prnt.sc/2EuJZ2vh19xJ in the filter set.

Is tabular dynamic filtration like this https://xfmrs.com/all/ possible with this plugin?

Hi ngrhd

Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.

You can make it work like here it is simply live filtering when choosing the needed filter term – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/horizontal-views/

But, you would need to apply your own custom styles in order to create the same looks as in your reference.

Hello. Is it possible to make advanced filters in the menu with this plugin? Let me explain: I have 3 parent categories, Men, Women and Children and I want to put the brands that are for each category in the menu. An exact example would be the menu on this page for the brands section: https://www.bata.com/es/

Hi aurageller99

Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.

Would be nice if you could provide a more detailed description with the showcases of what exactly you want to create at the ned process, as we visited the site and we are not sure what you are exactly referring to.

You can check some demos here – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/product-category/electronics/laptops/

If you want to create multiple filters from one taxonomy where you have different parent categories, we’d recommend using either separate attributes if you are using Woo or separate taxonomies in order to create separate filters from each taxonomy.

Hi For some reason the filter is not working properly when added as a short code to Astra site builder, when creating a custom archive page. Se this example: https://fitlife.se/aktivitet/

The problem is that all post are still showing after activating one or more filters. What could cause this?

I’ll send the same issue to the Astra theme, cause it might be theme related…

Thanks

Hi migge

We have checked the site, and it seems like the issue is already fixed. As it is filtering your posts.

If it is still not working, please provide more detailed information on the issue.

Best Regards,
- Victor
