Hi there, I have a pre-sale question
“Vertical and horizontal layouts, columns You can display Filters widget in sidebar or above the filtered posts”
Is it possible to do this at the same time, for instance have a “Categories” filter in the side bar and once a category is selected have a horizontal filter on the category page.
Thank you
Hi ShakeyRed
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
You can display, multiple filter sets on one page. So you can place one in the sidebar, and the second one in any other place you want.

Hello, I created a menu made up of my categories of articles and now I would like for each category to have its own store with the filters that concern it and I would like this for each category. Is this possible with this plugin?
Hi babacars1
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
Basically, you have a CPT with multiple categories in one taxonomy. And on each of those categories (archive pages) you wanna display filters. Yes, you can do it. You can create a filter set for each category page.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hello, I finally bought the plugin but when I tried to do the filtering as announced in my previous question I see that all the categories are displayed whereas I only need one only category is displayed including its subcategories
Hi babacars1
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
So if you want to hide empty category terms, you can go to the filter set settings and turn on those options – https://prnt.sc/oNQzRVzIigaU
Or you can create a filter set for each category and place it like this on the exact category page – https://prnt.sc/5FebEq6gh_8k and use include/exclude options to remove not needed categories for this filter – https://prnt.sc/BAjpulo4yDiU
Best Regards,

I tried that but I see that there is only one category displayed with its subcategories. I’ll give you an example of an organization that I would like to do ” Body – Hydration and Care – Creams and Lotions – Body Oils and Butters – Exfoliants and Scrubs – Hygiene – Soaps and Shower Gels – Deodorants and Antiperspirants – Intimate Products – Hand and Foot Care – Hand Creams – Foot Creams – Exfoliants and Specific Treatments – Sun Protection – Sun Creams – After-Sun – Self-tanners
” here body is the main category (Hydration and care, Hygiene, Hand and foot care, Sun protection) these are sub categories and the rest are sub sub categories. this is how I would like to display it on the body page
Hi babacars1
In this case, go to the filter set settings, choose the categories filters, and set the same settings as here – https://prnt.sc/2SttKNkSgdb8

I had to follow your instructions and I finally set up the filter thank you for your help. But when I set up the filter with elementor when I try to filter the products I got this message which displayed to me: “It seems that this page does not contain a container with the specified HTML ID or class of the Publications container”. Try specifying the correct one in the filter set settings or in the common plugin settings.” after that I tried #primary and .main-content but it doesn’t work
For configuring it correctly, please check this page – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-instructions-only/

Hello, I have an issue with the mobile version of the plugin, it was working fine but recently it shows checkboxes and their corresponding value on two different lines and the tips too close to the dropdown menu name. If you select any value from any filter, it is then immediately displayed well again. It only happens on mobile, NOT mobile view on desktop. My website is gommespecial.it, do you8 have something to suggest? Thank you in advance
Hi specialgommematera
If everything was working fine, and suddenly started working weirdly, not as it was supposed to work. Please check the changes you made to your site, new plugins, theme, custom code, etc. Most likely, one of the changes caused this issue.
Also, please send the link to the exact page with the issue, and step-by-step instructions on how we can recreate it, in order to check it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
It is exactly on the home page of gommespecial.it, the only place where the filter is. To recreate it, just open it on mobile and NOT mobile view on computers. Adding to the problems I mentioned, the Apply and Reset button are on the same column and not on the same line. I also did what you suggest, but honestly all I did recently was trying a bit the plugin options. I created some test filters in the set and deleted them. After that, it’s not displayed properly anymore. I am doing more tests but honestly have no idea
Let’s start from desktop buttons – https://prnt.sc/bcpTX1H0W5cf it looks like some JS code added additional tags “code” or it was made on purpose with the templates overriding, but if we remove it everything is displayed correctly – https://prnt.sc/7Qs4EC3KvlQF and it is same with the checkboxes issues.
Best Regards,
- Victor
I tried now, apparently it’s a problem visible on Chrome only. Removing the tags from the dev tools works, but I have no idea on how to remove them totally now. Surely I didn’t add them in the overridden templates and I also didn’t add plugins lately…I’ll try to find the reason
Found the piece of code, Thank you! Since I’m here, I wanted to ask you if would be possible to add images not only for brands, but for all filters (in my website, that would be like icons next to ‘summer’, ‘winter’, ‘all seasons’)
Hi specialgommematera
You can also add color swatches/images to any taxonomy filters. For custom fields, it cannot be attached. So if those filters are made from taxonomy you can do it – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/brands-and-color-swatches/
But for example this user – https://codecanyon.net/comments/30878640 made it with the custom fields in his own way, so if he is willing to share his approach you can ask for it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Perfect, thank you
Hello there!
I have the Filter Everything PRO version, and currently using it on a Avada Wordpress theme.
I have created a Filter Set for filtering posts through tags. I was able to get the Filter tags visible on the page through shortcode (I tried Widget previously and it didn’t seem to work).
I was able to get most things working, until the last part where clicking on the filter tags did not effect any changes to the Blog on my page, in spite of any filter tags I have selected. I can see that the tag I have clicked on remained highlighted, but the content on the Blog did not change in anyway. The count numbers of the tags are displaying correctly.
Please advise on what could be causing this issue? Thank you in advance.
Hi malcolmqwah
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?
Best Regards,

Sent to you over PM.
Hi malcolmqwah
We have checked the site, what you need to do is go to the WP Engine settings, and turn off the object cache, as it is caching all of the queries on the site, so it is causing issues.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thank you for your speedy response, Victor.
Pardon me on my next question. Will purging the Object Cache on WP Engine setting instead solve the issue as well?
Best regards, Malcolm
No, unfortunately, it won’t solve the issue. Here is how it is working currently, you go to the page purge the cache, and refresh the page with the chosen filter. Let’s say you have one post displayed, this query gets cached. What you will see on the page when you visit it again, is only one post, because that query was cached and it only used this cached query from now on.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Many thanks for your help.
Is there an alternative solution? Disabling the Object Cache on WP Engine settings will likely impact my company’s website performance and it will be an issue for us.
Hi malcolmqwah
Well, you can manually set up the caching with the wildcard, on the needed pages, so it won’t cache the queries on those pages. Or turn off query caching on the pages, if there are any settings that will help you to do it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Okay, thank you for your suggestion, Victor.
I have purchased, installed, and used the plugin successfully until the release of the new version. Upon updating, I was prompted to enter the license key, but the key provided did not work. Could you please assist me in resolving this issue? Thank you for the help.

Hello
Does this support the Beaver Builder’s POSTS Module? thank you
Hi production521
Yes, it should work if it is using WP_Query to display posts. But, as far as we remember, there was a client who had a cache conflict because the builder used an object cache or something similar without the ability to disable it. So this is something to check if you already have this builder on your site.

Have hierarchical taxonomy, where only child entries are selected, but in the filter, the parent is listed as having items.
https://startsomething.co.nz/camping/e.g
Pets (parent) - Dogs Allowed (child) - No Dog Allowed (child) Rubbish - Rubbish Collected - Recycle Bins - Take Rubbish With You
The filter adds up children and displays the total under the parent. Can this be disabled?
Thank you
Hi PlanetTechMan
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
If you want to have a hierarchy look for the taxonomy filters, you can turn on the “Show Hierarchy” option from “More options”. But this is working only with the checkboxes.
Also, you can use the inc;ude/exclude in the “more options” in order to remove not needed filter terms.

PRESALE QUESTION : Is it possible to display filtered products (results) from archive or category pages as related products on individual product pages? Specifically, can we apply product filters—created from custom fields—on a category page and have the resulting filtered products automatically shown as related products when viewing a specific product page?
Hi knowing888
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
We are a bit confused with what you are trying to do. If you have displayed products on any page singular/archive with the WP_Query, and the custom fields have been applied to your posts, you can filter them by custom field data on any of those pages.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Is it possible to retrieve and display filtered products from the shop page on a single product page? Specifically, when a user applies filters on the shop page, selects a filtered product, and navigates to its product page, can the product page also display other products that matched those same filters?
No, the filter doesn’t pull any posts from other pages. For example, you have a page that displays 10 posts, so our plugin will filter those 10 posts.
You can create a redirect filter, which, for example, can be set on the home page, and it will redirect you to the shop page.
If you have a shop page with all of your posts displayed, you can create multiple filters, by taxonomy(tags/categories), custom fields, etc. So you can filter your posts so it will only show those that you choose like here – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/product-category/clothing/women/
Best Regards,
- Victor
Let me clarify: For example, my shop page initially shows 20 items. After applying filters, it narrows down to 5 items. If I click on one of these filtered products, it takes me to that product’s page. My question is: Is it possible to dynamically display the other 4 filtered products as related products on that product page? Specifically, can the filtered products be shown based on the same filters that were applied on the shop page, perhaps by using the URL parameters of those filters? ps. do you offer any customization?
Hi knowing888
So when you go to the filtered product, you wanna see other products related to the filters that were chosen. No, this is not possible, and it does not provide any functionality like that, as when you go to the product page, it is a separate page, it is not in the filtered scope anymore, it’s just a product page, the same page as without our plugin. In fact, the shop page displayed basically styled links with some data like the content of the product, etc. So when you click on it it will take you to a singular product page without any connection to the chosen filters.
There are some plugins that show related products on certain entities, that will help you to achieve what you are looking for on singular product pages. But it won’t be related to the chosen filters on the shop page.

Hello!
We are hosted with Dreamhost, and the site is unbearably slow. Dreamhost says it has to do with the cookies from FilterEverything Pro and that I should ask for a cookie string.
“The issue is dependent on the site caching effectively not working due to the filter-everything plugin having set cookies load on each page, this is causing slowness on each page since each page load is a new request, rather than it being cached. I understand the plugin is necessary to use on the site for it’s main functionality. In this case, we could exclude the cookies from the server to bypass it.
“We would need you to contact the plugin provider to obtain a string for the cookie so we can add it to the nginx server configuration file. Once you obtain the the string, you can submit a ticket from your panel by going to support > contact support and enter the details needed. “
Can you please send me the cookie string OR is there a plugin you would recommend that I can manage the cookies per page? I don’t know what to do here and any help is appreciated.
Hello @FE_support…I’m hoping you can help me out. The site is unusable unless we can stop the cookies. Thank you!
Hi KellyDillon
Thank you for your patience, we were waiting for a response from the developers to get this information.
This is the list of all of the cookies that our plugin is using:
wpcContainersStatus
wpcHierarchyListStatus
wpcMoreLessStatus
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thank you thank you! I will start with that list. I wish I had more knowledge to build some kind of code myself, but I do not. I’m wondering if there will be a feature in future updates of the FilterEverything Pro plugin to disable the cookies? Or is that just not a thing? Thank you for responding!
Well, it depends on the requested rates. So far, if we remember correctly, you are the first person to ask for it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thank you Victor. The added cookie string did not seem to work. https://dcperinatalmentalhealth.com Your plugin is the primary driver for the site—as it is a directory site.
Unfortunately, it is taking over two minutes to load and when I finally get in I purge the cache, which takes care of things for awhile, but a few hours or a day later it is slow again.
We are on WP 6.6.1 and using the Avada theme 7.11.9 (latest). We use your plugin on another site that does not have this problem (but still in development).
Any guidance? I’m not at all a coder, but can add code to the child theme functions file…but that is my limit :-/ Thank you!
Hi KellyDillon
It seems that the problem is with the caching itself or the way it is configured and works. If this had been a common problem, we would have received many requests for this issue.
Some hostings have built-in caching for WordPress without the ability to configure it normally or turn it off. And starting to cause issues. If the issue was with the cookie then it should fix it after adding those 3 cookie names, but it is still not working correctly. So more likely it is trying to cache every filtering page including numerical values like price, etc. If this cache plugin supports wildcards, you can remove all of the filtered pages from caching. For example, you have filters on the shop page so there could be settings like mysite.com/shop/* so everything that goes after the shop won’t be cached.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hello Victor,
I’ve been in touch with Dreamhost and they added the cookies string. They responded with:
“I made sure those were set, according to the information provided by the filter-everything plugin’s support, and the cache is still being bypassed. The cookies that are returned are the following:
set-cookie: 1qu08uit=j12yyg6qo1vw; expires=Tue, 20 Aug 2024 19:19:28 GMT; Max-Age=432000; path=/; secure; HttpOnly set-cookie: 8mphwj6r=hzeus2d9iwda; expires=Tue, 20 Aug 2024 19:19:28 GMT; Max-Age=432000; path=/; secure; HttpOnly
Please double check with the plugin’s support to see if they can provide a custom VCL to make these cookies cache-friendly.”
I’m hoping this makes sense to you!
Victor, in Dreamhost (managed wordpress) they use the nginx server with caching plugin. In my attempts to fix this problem I tried WP Super Cache, but dreamhost says this may be a problem. Is there a caching plugin YOU recommend?
Also, I realized that this problem happened towards the end of July when WP was updated to 6.6.1 on July 20. Don’t know if that’s important, but thought I’d note.
Can you provide a custom VCL? Thanks so much!
Hi KellyDillon
The WP-Rocket from our own experience is by far the best caching plugin when it comes to WordPress. With the ability to configure everything as needed, supporting wildcards and others.
About the VCL lists we have passed the data to the development team, so when we get any information about it we will let you know right away.

Hello! Quick question, I just launched my site on it’s live domain, but now I can’t authorize my license to “unlock” the plugin. Where can I remove the old production domains? I keep getting this error “This license key already used for two sites.”

Please send your license key via PM – https://codecanyon.net/user/fe_support so we can deactivate it across all of the sites.

Done. Thank you! Is there somewhere I can manage those URLs if the client changes their domain? Thanks!
Done! Now you can activate it on the needed sites.
No, unfortunately, there is no such an option, the only way is to contact us.

It worked. Thanks!!
Hi,
FE filter plugin works fine but I got a minor issue. I have two product sub-cateogies “Brake Pads and Shoes” and “Brake Rotors and Drums” under product category “Performance>Braking System”. All products under “Brake Pads and Shoes” and “Brake Rotors and Drums” has different related “Part Type” attribute, and e.g. when I checked the “Brake Pads and Shoes” filter options, there actually no product in “Brake Rotors and Drums” fits but the “Brake Rotors and Drums” product category still showing on the page. https://sgt-store.com/category/performance/braking-system/fe_part_type-part-type-brake-pads/When there a FE filter criteria and there no products fit in, should the product categories hide? Except this all others works perfect.
Screen record for your information. https://drive.google.com/file/d/112p6yLgIdy8SSgXIH1B2axBttHyCk5iT/view?usp=drive_linkHi chris_yks
If you choose to display only categories it will show all of the filters, as, in fact, this is just a template from WooCommerce with all of those products included.
So even if you choose to display only categories instead of products, it will still show available filters as the query is still there on the page. But it won’t filter anything.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi @FE_support, sorry for I am not understand well on above comment, would you mind to explain more detail? Is there no way to solve? thanks
Hi chris_yks
If you want to remove the filter on the category pages that display only categories with the numbers of products, the answer is no, only by the custom CSS. In fact, there are all of the products listed just the Woo template makes them look like a categories list.
Or you can create multiple filter sets, and apply them only on the needed page. So one filter set per needed page.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi FE_Support,
I’m not want to remove the filter on the category pages but hide the product categories on category page that no product match after filtered, thanks
Hi chris_yks
In that case, you can try to use those settings – https://prnt.sc/vtg9Z03FSqZK
But if they display some values then they won’t be hidden, only those that have (0) count will be hidden.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor, the options only hide the empty terms or filters, any suggestion on hidding the “product category” that no product match? Now even I have set to with the options to hide empty terms and filters, however the product category without any product match still showing on the product category page and when customer click into that category and shows no product, thanks
Ah, so you mean that you want to hide those displayed categories by Woo like “shoes 200 products” or “cars 10 products”
No, that is not possible to hide or filter them at all due to their nature and how this template is working.
This is something that even with the custom coding would require quite an advanced approach to make it work like that.
Best Regards,
- Victor
I installed the filter plugin, but I have a problem with product variations.
I sell tables that have several size variations. I want to be able to filter based on length. However, when I filter by length, I have no results displayed, although the counter indicates that there are matching products.
However, the price filter works well, even with the variations.
I have activated the “use for variations” option
I use the “Oxygen” theme builder and a repeater to build my product archive page.
Here is access to the URL to try: https://chouettemaison.fr/categorie-produit/cuisine/table-de-cuisine
In the “length in cm” field selected 240, there should be a table that shows “DELHI” but the display shows nothing
Thank you for your help
Hi kevin2811
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?
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thank you for your response, I just sent the credentials
We have checked the site, and we did everything, turning off the plugins, changing themes, and deleting data from products from DB to be sure nothing was causing conflicts, but still the same behavior.
But one thing that we have noticed is that when we turn off Oxygen builder, everything is working well, and filtering as it should by the lenght custom field.
But, we know for 100% sure it is working with oxygen builder as we have clients with it and it is working. So either there are some changes in the version that you have or the way you have built the templates.
We have downloaded this builder from your site in order to test it on our side. So if we find the exact issue we let you know.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Okay, we have tested it on our side and it is working correctly – https://prnt.sc/TfhwCCMvc3iq and here is the product – https://prnt.sc/tLSd5VrlFRCt and one more – https://prnt.sc/Xf_lSQ9Q79iu and here is the filter set – https://prnt.sc/592Q2VeFv-GV
So the issue is appearing only on your side. Also, you are not using the latest WP version with the old versions of themes.

Hi!
we are using the shortcodes example in the template: fe_sort, fe_widget
Missing/needed sorting widget ID. Where to get it?
In previous reply you have mentioned: So the sorting widget should be created in the widget area. If you do not have the widget area in your theme you can use any free widgets plugin for that. If you are using Elementor for a page, you can go to the WordPress section in the Elementor and find there Filter Everything – sorting
Best Regards, - Victor
Hi rekosa
Can you please clarify what you have tried from our previous response?
The sorting widget, cannot work just by the shortcode, it should be physically created as a widget, or place the sorting widget if you are using Elementor in the needed place.

Hello, I have set a filter in the search results page and it is displaying normally. But when I selected the items in the filter, the search result list on the right did not change accordingly.
Hi ecntian
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Why do the search GET parameters have this addition “&id=39731&v=1c2903397d88” and what what are they responsible for?
Also, the issue can be that in the filter set settings “And what to filter?” dropdown, you choose the wrong query. Or you are using some type of third-party search plugin and it is not compatible with the search algorithms.

I’m experiencing a formatting issue when using Filter Everything in an accordion in horizontal mode. When the accordion is first opened, the columns with dropdown fields are not stretched evenly across the container area. Once the accordion is open and the window is refreshed, the fields are evenly stretched across the container area.
What do I need to know to have the fields evenly stretched when the accordion is first opened?
Please let me know, Thank you
Hi edzilla17
Unfortunately, the same approach is here, we need to see the page and test it to understand the issue. You can set up the site live and then provide credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it.

Hello,
I purchased your plugin for one of my customer’s websites in September 2022, and now I’m experiencing a serious issue with the “Filter Everything Pro” plugin. It says that the key is invalid and now I am unable to reactivate my license key on my customer’s website. Could there be an issue with my license key? Perhaps it’s because it was originally activated on the staging system, which is no longer in use?
Thank you in advance!
Hi tricksiebzehnde
