Hi There,
Is there anyway that we can create a filter set and add specific filters to that set and assign / show them on particular set of categories? Like a,b,c categories 1 set and d,e,f categories on 2nd set.
Currently I am unable to add multiple pages under where to filter option.
Thanks
Hi shashikantatmakuri
No, unfortunately, there is no ability to choose multiple pages in the filter set “Where to filter”
You can display one filter set on all category pages, and for the rest, you would need a separate filter set for each category page.

It seems like the filtered pages or links are not being indexed. Is there a way to incorporate these pages to my current xml sitemap? any idea how to index these filtered results products? thanks
Hi Tee-ka
You can create SEO Rules in order to make indexed filtered pages – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/seo-rules/
Also, there is this code example of how you can get SEO Rule titles:
function display_filter_seo_rule_titles() {
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'filter-seo-rule',
'posts_per_page' => -1, // Retrieve all posts of this type
);
$custom_query = new WP_Query($args);
if ($custom_query->have_posts()) {
echo '<h2>Titles of "filter-seo-rule" Posts:</h2>';
echo '<ul>';
while ($custom_query->have_posts()) {
$custom_query->the_post();
echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
wp_reset_postdata(); // Restore the original post data
}
}
// Hook the function to a WordPress action
add_action('wp_footer', 'display_filter_seo_rule_titles');
They will be shown in the site page footer like this – https://prnt.sc/KJrCO0yfI6Dv Other users have built the sitemap XML with the help of it.
Also, future updates of the plugin should include sitemap xml functionality.
Generally, there is no support for accounts whose support period has expired following the support policy.
But we can help you later after all requests from accounts with valid support periods are processed. It may take some time – days or weeks.
If you want to receive it faster, please extend the support period, and we will process the request with the priority for supported accounts.

Thank you very much Victor for your response! Your product is one of the best filters I ever used honestly and that xml sitemap upgrade would make it better.
When are you expecting that upgrade to happen?
Hi Tee-ka
The release has been postponed several times due to various difficulties, and we are not sure if it will be released before the end of the year. But, we are in constant contact with the development team and we will provide updates as soon as we have any new information on it. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

When creating SEO Rules, we can’t use two options from the same filter type like color blue and green. Any idea how do you do this?
It seems live overwhelming job to create SEO Rules for every possibility if we have 3 different filters.
Indexing these products is very important for SEO and being it blocked by default with your plugin is a killer in my opinon. Adding 100’s of rules aren’t the way to go either…
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?

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
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Currently, there is no out-of-box solution for that. You can make it look like here – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/horizontal-views/color-blue/brand-hm/#3-columns
Here’s how you can do it. Go to the filters -> settings -> experimental -> custom CSS and add next styles:
.wpc-filter-set-2450 .wpc-filter-title{
margin-bottom: 0;
}
.wpc-filter-set-2450 .wpc-filter-content{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
background: #fff;
/*box-shadow: 0px 5px 5px rgb(0,0,0,0.1);*/
z-index: 10;
border-radius: 2px;
padding: 20px 20px;
}
.wpc-filter-set-2450 .wpc-filter-has-selected .wpc-filter-content,
.wpc-filter-set-2450 .wpc-opened .wpc-filter-content{
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
border-top: none;
}
.wpc-filter-set-2450 .wpc-filter-header{
padding: 9px 19px 10px 19px;
border: 1px solid transparent;
border-bottom: none;
}
.wpc-filter-set-2450 .wpc-filter-header{
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
}
.wpc-filter-set-2450 .wpc-filter-has-selected:not(.wpc-closed) .wpc-filter-header,
.wpc-filter-set-2450 .wpc-opened .wpc-filter-header{
border-bottom: none;
}
.wpc-filter-set-2450 .wpc-wrap-icons{
line-height: 1.5;
}
Then go to the page where you have your filters widget on and inspect the filter widget in order to find its ID – https://prnt.sc/9j3SiL-VXk3f and use it in this CSS instead of 2450 with your ID
Inside the filter set settings, you need to enable the “folding” option for the filters from the “more options” and use the checkbox, labels, or radio button in the “View in Widget”.
Also, here is a code to make it close when clicking on any other area, and when clicking on the next dropdown, you can place it in the functions.php file of your theme:
function add_filter_toggle_script_to_footer() {
?>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
function initFilterToggles() {
// Get all filter collapsible sections
const filterCollapsibles = document.querySelectorAll('.wpc-filter-collapsible');
filterCollapsibles.forEach(collapsible => {
const button = collapsible.querySelector('.wpc-filter-header button');
button.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
event.stopPropagation(); // Prevent propagation to parent elements
// Toggle open/close classes
if (collapsible.classList.contains('wpc-opened')) {
collapsible.classList.remove('wpc-opened');
collapsible.classList.add('wpc-closed');
} else {
// Close all other collapsibles
filterCollapsibles.forEach(otherCollapsible => {
if (otherCollapsible !== collapsible) {
otherCollapsible.classList.remove('wpc-opened');
otherCollapsible.classList.add('wpc-closed');
}
});
// Open clicked collapsible
collapsible.classList.add('wpc-opened');
collapsible.classList.remove('wpc-closed');
}
});
});
// Close collapsibles if clicked outside
document.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
if (!event.target.closest('.wpc-filter-collapsible')) {
filterCollapsibles.forEach(collapsible => {
collapsible.classList.remove('wpc-opened');
collapsible.classList.add('wpc-closed');
});
}
});
}
// Initialize filter toggles on page load
initFilterToggles();
// Reinitialize filter toggles after AJAX update
$(document).on('ajaxComplete', function() {
initFilterToggles();
});
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_filter_toggle_script_to_footer');

Great, thanks Victor, that works well. However, another conflict has arisen: After filtering via Ajax, the thumbnails of the posts no longer load. I use the Houzez theme. Do you have a guess what the problem is and a hint? Otherwise I can send you the URL and access data via PM.
Hi Philipp
Yeah, the issue is that the JS code which is responsible for it is not AJAX-compatible by default. You can check this page in order to get information on it – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-instructions-only/
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor
All right, thanks for the answer.
Philipp
Hi Victor
Another issue has arisen in this context. I have deactivated the loading via Ajax. This is less nice, but the thumbnails are loaded. However, it is now the case that some dropdowns open automatically when the page is refreshed. It seems that the first dropdown is always open and those where something has been activated. You can see a screenshot here: https://send.tresorit.com/a#guBBuQgiufHMe8Qtj82Y9g Do you have any ideas how to avoid that?
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

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.
Best Regards,

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,

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.

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

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 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
but the database is large, for example for the brand attribute I have two columns (Brand + brand name)
What exactly do you mean by the “database is large” and “I have two columns (Brand + brand name)”
You create a Brand attribute and add all of the needed terms in it, such as Audi, Ford, Toyota, etc.
Then Create an attribute Model and add all of the needed mode terms there.
1) It is possible to create a filter from tags. But from one tag taxonomy, you can create one filter.
2) Please provide more detailed information on this one as we are absolutely confused by it “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) Yes, for the needed filters you can go to “more options” and check the “Use for variations”
Best Regards,

Hi
I have 51,000 products with 5 filters it takes a lot of time for this charger for each filter ( 5 filters Brand – Model – Years – Category – Type )
1- is there a way to optimize the filter? 2- Is it possible to combine attributes and tags in a filter ( 4 attributs 1 tag ) ?
3- I want to display user selected filters ( attribut / tags) for each product in received order admin details- does the plugin have an option for that? a personalized development? price?
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/wCTbts3Thanks
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.
