Hi Andrii, when displaying a list of taxonomy terms for a product search, the child terms are hidden by default. Is there a filter or similar that I can use to have the child terms visible immediately?
Hi plexus_media
If you are referring to the hierarchy view in the filters, and make them always opened instead of closed you can use the “wpc_hierarchy_opened” hook, and write your own functionality so it will follow the needed logic.

Thanks Victor. I tried using that filter with the below code but it didn’t work. Can you see a reason why; add_filter( ‘wpc_hierarchy_opened’, ‘plexus_hierarchy_filters_opened_by_default’ ); function plexus_hierarchy_filters_opened_by_default( $filters_opened_by_default ) { $new_opened_by_default = [ 19, // Filter ID ]; return array_merge( $filters_opened_by_default, $new_opened_by_default ); }
Unfortunately, we do not debug/provide custom codes as it is out of the scope of the support policy. If you have any issues with it, please contact your site developer, or you hire a developer from a platform like Upwork in order to help you with this code.

I’m experiencing an issue with the Filter Everything Pro plugin. When I update product attributes, the changes are reflected on the product page, but the filter options don’t update to reflect these changes. For example, if I change a product’s attribute “Product Type” from “Single Post” to “Centersets”, the product page shows “Centersets”, but the filter still displays the product under the “Single Post” filter category.
I’ve cleared the cache, reindexed products, and checked the plugin settings, but the issue persists. Could you please advise on how to ensure that the filter options update correctly when product attributes are modified? This issue is affecting the accuracy of our filters and could lead to customer confusion.
Hi anandsukumaran
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 page with this issue and the product that has changed attributes but not changed in the filter.

Already sent the credentials.
We have checked the site and deactivated those 3 plugins go to the filter set hit update and everything is working well, more likely it is one of those transient plugins, but you can try it more deeply to see which one is causing it to deactivate only the one that causing issues:
weLaunch Framework
Transients Manager
Delete Expired Transients

I’m loving the plugin. One question: Is there a way for me to exclude certain categories from the category filter? Right now it’s pulling EVERY category, and there are a few I would like to exclude.
Follow up: Is there a way to only show top-level categories in the filter, and NOT subcategories? Thanks!
Ok, hopefully last question for a bit: What’s the best way to bulk edit product attributes? Do you have a plugin you recommend? I have 400+ old products that I’d like to add 8-10 attributes (each). That’s just a crazy amount of work so I’m looking for a cheat code 
Hi seeznak
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
1) You can go to the filter set, navigate to the needed filter click “more options” and under the more options, there will be “include/exclude” functionality.
2) No there is no functionality to choose how many levels it will display, but you can do this with the include/exclude, to remove all of not needed ones.
3) No, unfortunately, we cannot recommend anything here, as we didn’t work with any.

Ok thanks for the reply! I just noticed an issue – on the front end of my store, when I click some of the filters, I get a “Oops, that page can’t be found” result. Other filters are working fine, but there look like at least 4 that return a 404. Any idea what is going on here?
https://www.usurnsonline.com/product-category/funeral-templates/ Filters for Fold, Pages, Paper Size, and Style don’t work. The others do.Hi seeznak
Go to the Filters -> Settings -> URL Prefixes and add to each of them fe_ at the start of the prefix, like this “fe_style/fe_pages/...” hit the save button go to the filter set hit update, and go to the page with the filters refresh it and try to filter one more time if it fixed the issue.
Best Regards,
- Victor
That worked! Can you explain why that is? I’ve run into trouble with the prefixes being used, seems like maybe the conflict with the existing attributes in WP, I dunno. But if I know what’s going on then I can avoid this in the future…
Hi seeznak
If you have a category, page, or post with a slug car-something and create a filter with the Prefix car, this will cause issues, as they are crossing, and at this point, WP is confused about what to do with this URL, open a page or a category or apply filters. The prefix always should be unique, when you are using _ it will be one letter while – will be separate ones.
Best Regards,

I would like the user to be able to select only one filter at a time. Because I only want the URL to have one of the tag terms, not two. How can I do something like that?
Hi smgcreativos7
Only with the custom code, make all of the options as radio buttons and make them all work together, so you can choose only one option out of all of the filters. Also, you can try to use the templates overriding – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/templates-overriding/
Best Regards,
- Victor
Can you teach me how to do that?
Hi smgcreativos7
No, unfortunately, we do not provide/debug custom coding as it is out of the scope of support policy.
Also, there is no way to teach doing such stuff, realistically speaking, if you have enough time on your hands (a few years) you can check some of the WordPress/PHP/JS development courses. Or you can always hire a developer using a platform like Upwork so he can write it for you.

Is there any way to particularly choose which filters to index and which not to index? I mean it seems that you can only select in a general way. That is, if I choose to index the tags, I can only index them.
Hi smgcreativos7
Yes, by default all of the filtered pages are not indexed. When you are creating SEO Rules, you can create a rule for each filter term and for each mix of filter terms, like color blue and size xxl and brand nike. So the SEO Rule will work only for this mix of filter terms when you choose one of them nothing will be indexed, only the exact same as in the SEO Rule.
Best Regards,
- Victor
In other words, only those filters to which I have SEO rules will be indexed?
Hi smgcreativos7
Yes, that is absolutely correct, and here you can find a documentation page on the SEO Rules – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/seo-rules/
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hello, I would like to know how to indicate the canonicals to URLs that are indexed. In SEO Rules I don’t see any option to do it. Could you tell me?
Hi smgcreativos7
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
There is a hook in the plugin “wpc_seo_canonical,” which you can use.
Best Regards,
- Victor
I don’t quite understand, where do I find this add-on?
Hi smgcreativos7
Well, you can read about hooks here in the WordPress documentation – https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/hooks/ in order to understand how they are working.

Is it possible to edit a preselected filter page, or maybe create a page with a preselected filter? For example, this page https://cls.health/providers/fe_specialty-podiatry/, (or a page with the podiatry filter pre-selected)
Hi clshealthinfo
The only way to make a preselected filter is to choose them and use the generated URL with all of the selected filters. This way when you will follow the link all filters will be applied.
Best Regards,
- Victor
I see, however our goal is to be able to edit the pages with the specific filter applied. Is that possible?
Hi clshealthinfo
But it is not a physical page, it is simply the same page with the additional URL particles, that are used for filtering. If you turn off the URL-friendly permalink manager it would be a page with the GET parameters.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Understood, then it seems like what we are looking for will not be possible? It would be great if the shortcode could accept parameters that would allow specific filters to be selected.
Hi clshealthinfo
Yes, unfortunately, things you are looking for with predefined filters can be only achieved via URL.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi,
Actually I was able to find a way to create a template for specific taxonomy, in this example the Cardiology specialty. However, it seems that not all of the filters appear in the filter widget. Do you know how we could get them all to display? I noticed that you cannot de-select the current taxonomy page in the filter as well.
https://cls.health/specialty/cardiology/Yes, you cannot select or deselect the current category filter term. It was made like that to not duplicate the category name on the already-category page.
The filter terms that you see in the filters depend on the posts that are displayed on this category page. So if there are no posts with the category cars applied to them in this category page, the cars category won’t be displayed as a filter term (when you have hidden empty filter terms to always hide).
Best Regards,

Hi there,
During the process of making my site I used various test sites with your plugin. I went to update my plugin there now and it say’s it’s activated on two sites. Is there anyway you can “kick” plugin from all sites using my license key except for abbeygifts.co.uk?
Hi matthewm174
Please send us the license key via PM – https://codecanyon.net/user/fe_support so we can deactivate it across all of the sites.
Please follow the instructions on this page: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/license-key-issues/#how_to_get_the_license_key to get the license key.

The license was deactivated across all of the sites. So now you can activate the needed sites. Unfortunately on the site that you provided via PM, there was no license activated.

Hi, I have a problem with an energy label filter. It’s an ACF field, with values like: A, A+ or A++.
Somehow it only shows A++ in the filter, but in the list of posts are also posts available with A and A+.
Hi diederikk
Please read this documentation page about ACF – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/acf/ the code is not needed to display labels instead of values it’s already working from the box in the latest version of the plugin.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Excellent, thanks for the quick reply. I changed the ACF field to label & value, and it works!
We are glad to hear that everything is working well.

Hi, I have one more query, is there way to enable multi selection in dropdowns?
Hi srini16
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');

Hi
I purchased your plugin believing we could filter by Date from and ACF field.
But when I setup the Filter on the field it won’t let me select Date Range? it is greyed out am I missing a setting somewhere.
Any assistance would be appreciated
Hi EDGEcreative2017
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Unfortunately, the date range filter is not working with the ACF date picker custom fields yet. But our development team has this in plans to add it in future updates. Currently, it is working only with the post date.
Best Regards,

Do you have any idea when this functionality will be added as the only reason I brough the plugin was for this sort of feature.
Hi, if the plugin does not do what I want is it possible to get a refund as that was the only reason the plugin was purchased.
As far as we know, it should be released in a couple of months.
You can request a refund from the account where the plugin was purchased, but we recommend not rushing into it because, with a lifetime license, you basically have lifetime updates. And you can filter any CPT with it, so when it comes out, you can download the new version and work with it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
I understand that it is a life time warranty but unfortunately I need the feature, now. I have had a look in Envarto where I purchased the plugin and there is no option to request a refund. Do you know where in my account I can request a refund?
We’re not entirely sure about this, as as a support team we’ve never made a refund request, so it’s best to refer to the Evanto FAQ or ask Evanto Support for this information, as we do not want to provide any false information on it.
Also, please note that the support team is not working on the refunds, usually you should get a response around a week or two.

his support, i have sent the credentials to your support – we need help due to the Filters not working on category and tag pages. thanks
Hi eeaustgroup
Thank you for that, the answer was provided via Email with the link.
Best Regards,
- Victor
i got the email but without a link.
What we meant is the link to the category page. So if the category page displays only 3 products and all of the categories applied on those products are the same as this category page, then others will not appear in the filter. If there is at least one product with another category applied to it as well, then it will be displayed in the filters.

Hello. Is it possible to not have a reload with the url attached for every filter result? I’d like to keep the results unsearchable.
Hi deevishwanathan
Can you please provide a more detailed explanation of what exactly you are trying to achieve? We are a bit confused about what you mean by “reload with the URL attached for every filter result”
Best Regards,
- Victor
I’d like the page url to remain unchanged for the filtered result. Is that possible?
No, that’s impossible, but you can configure Firewar to not allow the bots to crawl on the filtered pages with wildcards like mysite.com/shop/* and the rest of the links, so everything that goes beyond * will not be crawled.
Best Regards,
- Victor
I see. Is it possible to load the page with the filter inside a modal window?
Yes, all you need to do is place the shortcode [fe_widget] in your modal window. And on the pages where the filter set is applied to the page, it will appear there. But if you have multiple areas where the filter set should appear, it will appear only in one place, not in all of them at the same time.

I have created to filter sets on my site – one for page 1 and one for page 2. It works on page 1 but not on page 2. It’s the same query and the same shortcode, I have added to a shortcode box. It just shows the “No one Filter Set is related to this page. You can configure it in the Filter Set -> “Where to filter?” field.” error. I have tried assigning the page (the frontpage), and I have tried assigning it to Any Page page, with no luck. It detects my query fine in the filter set page. From what I can tell, it should be working with these settings. And it works on a different page, so the setup of the filter should also be fine. I’m using shortcode [fe_widget] to display the filter. Any suggestions to what I can try next? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I’m having an issue with the Pro plugin. I’ve set up custom filters that work well on their own. However, when I use Elementor’s page builder to add a posts widget alongside the Filter Everything widget, the filters stop working as soon as I specify post categories in the Elementor widget. If I don’t choose specific categories in the Elementor widget, the filters work fine. It seems like there’s some interference happening. Is there a workaround for this?
