Hi my website page does not display filters correctly (half of the filters name is not visible) and the filter for categories does not work as I would like. Ideally I want that the categories (bond, shares) filters is composed of subcategories filters. Right now they are all mixed up. could you support? thank you https://scripotime.com/blog-posts/
Hi gpeverelli
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Try to add this in the FIlters -> SEttings -> Experimental -> Custom CSS:
.wpc-filter-content select {
padding: 0 10px !important;
}
.wpc-orderby-select {
padding: 0 10px !important;
}
It seems like the category filtering is working – https://prnt.sc/4SNx22GGBP4T if you want to display a hierarchy view, this is only available for the checkboxes, the dropdown does not have such a feature. Go to the filter set, navigate to the categories filter choose the vie as a checkboxes, and then click the “more options” and turn on the hierarchy view.

Hello – sorry to ask a dense question, but I’m confused as to which license I need to buy..
My client is an ecommerce website setting prams. Does that mean I need to get the extended or is the regular license okay?
Hi nathan-d
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
You need a regular license for that. It includes activation of the plugin on two sites, as usually it is one staging and the second is prod, with lifetime updates.
The extended license (in short but not limited as it has quite a lot of nuances) is when you want to include our plugin in some of your let’s say theme and sell it all together.

Dear Support Team,
With my filters, I have hundreds of extra pages which is very disturbing in terms of caching and I belive google doesn’t prefer to crawl thru to too.
www.instawalk.eu/blog
you can see all the pages once you apply the filters.
Do I miss a setting where I can use the filters like this way for example:
www.instawalk.eu/blog/?_weather
and in case if there is a way, do I miss any of the core functionality user or SEO wise?
Hi davgila
By default, all of the pages are not indexed. You need to create SEO Rules in order to make them indexed, of course, crawlers can ignore this and still do what they are doing. In this case, you can use a firewall to block them from these pages using the wildcard, the same you can do for the caching with the wildcard so it won’t cache filtered pages.
If you want to turn off the URL-friendly permalink manager and make it look like a GET parameter in the URL you can use this in the filters.php file of your theme:
define( 'FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED', false );
Best Regards,

Dear Victor
We might have misunderstood eachother.
I don’t aim to index the www.instawalk.eu/blog page.
All I’m looking for is chaning the link structure something like this ”.com/property/?max_property_price=840000” so I woudnt have thousands of pages created for the blog filter, just simply one page which is dinamically changed because of the /? variable.
If you answer with the filters.php was aiming to solve this issue, then I can comfirm tat I couldt find a filter.php in my website.
Can you provide more detailed guide or a link?
Thank you
You can use this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/ add a new snippet, enter the provided piece of code add the title for this snippet in the plugin, and hit save/create.
Go to the filter set and hit update, then go to the filtered page and try to filter and check the URL.
Best Regards,
- Victor
otherwise If I dont want to use the plugin, I can simply add it to the function.php?
how to get rid of the million addition pages that was produced by your plugin earlier?
About the functions.php file of your theme, you can read here – https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/theme-functions/
As to getting rid of created pages, there are no actual pages there are URL particles that are added to the URL in order to filter posts/products on your page and open pages with the predefined filters.
So for example if you have a mysite.com/shop/all-of-the-variations-of-filters/
The cache plugin can cache it all, every single possible variation, to prevent this you can use wildcard and exclude it from caching like so mysite.com/shop/* where * is all of the additional parameters that will not be included in the caching.
You can do the same with the crawlers if they are indexing all of those variations as they simply ignore nofollow/noindex tags, you can use a firewall, and block access for crawlers to the pages using the same wildcard approach.
Best Regards,
- Victor
if I exclude this www.instawalk.eu/blog/* that means all the blog posts which should be cached and indexed will still be blocked from cache and indexing so I dont think its the right soltuion, as they are behind that path fall in the blog category.
Why all the variation has to be created? They cant be just filtered any other method without creating so many pages for additional cache and accidental google crawl?
Hi davgila
The plugin was built across URL particles with the filters. The issue here is that crawlers can simply ignore noindex/nofollow tags as they usually do now, and you need more and more options to prevent them from crawling across all of the pages.
As a second reason why it can happen, you could have some plugin on your site that indexes all of those pages, and this is the issue why the crawlers behave like that. This is not a common issue at all, most of the cases we had are that the users had SEO plugins that indexed all of the pages or crawlers ignored noindex/nofollow tags.
As to the cache. You can exclude Shop root and direct subpages to exclude everything under mysite.com/shop/* by adding the rule like:/shop/*
After excluding the general shop/* you can specifically include URLs that match category and subcategory patterns. This usually depends on how your caching plugin handles inclusion rules after exclusions. In some plugins, you might need to add rules that prevent the exclusion of URLs containing /shop/category-name/ patterns.
For example, you could add rules like:/shop/category-name/*
So you can include/exclude everything according to your needs, in order to make the perfect results.
With the correct customization, you can achieve the best results without any issues caused to your site by crawlers or caching.

Dear Victor,
I am writing to you regarding a critical issue impacting my website, instawalk.eu, and requiring your immediate attention.
I have implemented the code snippet define( ‘FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED’, false ); in my PHP configuration to switch from permalink-based filtering to query string parameters for my blog filter plugin. This change has successfully activated query string functionality, as demonstrated by URLs like https://www.instawalk.eu/blog/?category=budapest-guide&service=proposal
However, I am still experiencing significant problems due to the numerous permalink-based pages that were previously generated by the plugin. Examples include:
https://www.instawalk.eu/blog/service-flyingdress-or-green-or-proposal/location-fishermansbastion/weather-sunset/groupsize-1-or-150p These previously generated pages are still accessible and are being aggressively crawled by a bot, which is causing my server to crash. This bot is particularly focused on my /blog page and is systematically accessing all possible filter combinations, resulting in an overwhelming load.Given the large number of filter combinations, millions of these permalink pages have been created, which I urgently need to remove.
My primary concern is to eliminate all the previously generated permalink pages and ensure that only the query string method (e.g., /blog?service=family) is used for filtering.
Therefore, I request your assistance with the following:
Providing clear instructions on how to completely remove all existing permalink-based pages generated by the plugin. Ensuring that the plugin exclusively uses query string parameters for filtering moving forward. Offering guidance on how to prevent bots from aggressively crawling these filter combinations. I need a solution that will allow me to clear all the previously generated URLs and ensure the site only responds to the /blog? query string format.
This is a time-sensitive issue, as the bot crawling is causing significant disruption to my website’s performance. I appreciate your prompt response and assistance in resolving this matter.
Thank you for your time and support.
Hi davgila
Unfortunately, at the moment there is no possibility to remove them, but this will be added with future plugin updates, as this was discussed with the development team.
As for the bot crawlers, this is something you should manage on your site by using firewall settings or the robots.txt file to block them and prevent them from crawling specific links. A wildcard can assist with this, and your hosting support should also provide a solution to block them from crawling all of those links. These crawlers are increasingly ignoring robots.txt tags, so they often do whatever they want. Unfortunately, we can’t stop them through the plugin’s functionality alone. As they ignore the no-index statuses.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thank you, Victor, for the quick reply. I’ve had to deactivate the plugin due to the excessive number of combination pages created. Do you have an estimated timeline for when the plugin will offer the option to use query strings exclusively, without generating static combination pages?
We send a message to the development team, and when we get a response from them we’ll let you know right away.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thank you Victor, your support and the followup is much appreciated, I would love to reactivate the plugin soon.
We have just received an update from the development team. They are currently in the process of reorganizing and expanding. If all goes as planned, this should be resolved in 2-3 months.
Best Regards,
Victor
Dear Victor,
It has been over 6 months, and you suggested 2-3 months had passed a long time back. Since my plugin is being switched off for the same reason as mentioned earlier, I’m eager to hear about the implementations you have achieved.
Thanks David
Hi David
Yes, indeed, there was such a conversation. The development team was fully reorganized with new team members. This was a much more time-consuming process than we thought it would be, until the new team became familiar with the plugin enough to release new updates confidently. So all of the updates were put on pause until recently, when the duplication functionality was released in version 1.9.2 from the new development team. Currently, they are working on XML, import/export, ACF date picker fields, and more (the functionality that was already in development progress), so basically, they picked it up to finish. However, just in case, we have re-added the task to the new development team to ensure it is on the list.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. It is difficult to predict how much time certain tasks will take. For example, we were close to releasing the new update the week before, but had not yet tested it with translation plugins. After testing, we realized it required a different approach and needed to separate some functionality to ensure proper compatibility. This shifted the release date by at least a month or two, as it’s quite complex to determine what changes translation plugins introduce, how they mark them, and how to ensure full compatibility at the highest level.
Best Regards,
Victor
Victor, as a business owner, I do understand that plans do not always go the way we wanted initially. However, as a client of yours, I’ve been having my purchased plugin turned off for the past 6 months, which is pretty bad. Can you perhaps suggest another date in the future when you think this functionality will be done?
Thanks David
David, one more update on this, which is even better than we expected. Just in case, we contacted the new dev team directly about it, and they confirmed that this fix was already included in version 1.9.1, which was released about a month ago. So you can go ahead and use that version.
We weren’t aware of this earlier, as we (the support team) joined the testing process only in the middle of the 1.9.1 cycle, and the fix had already been added by then. So we didn’t know it already existed.
Best Regards,
Victor
That’s indeed a great news! Can you tell where to enable the feature and how to test it?
You just have to use the same code and update the filter sets:
define( 'FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED', false );
And you will get only GET parameters for filters, while permalinks will return a 404 error. So the filters from /color-red/ will turn into ?color=red, and using the address with /color-red/ (like it worked previously with the code to disable permalinks) will no longer work and will return a 404.
This way, all of the filtering will be strictly GET parameters, and nothing more.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hey Victor,
After long time I turned your Pro plugin back to active, and i found that the filter doesnt show up anymore in the blog page, there was no settings changed since it was turned off..
https://www.instawalk.eu/blog/ here is supposed to beIts strange but on mobile the filter button is showing, and when you press it, it says
“www.instawalk.eu says There is no filter widget with ID 13585 on this page”
whats the issue?
Thanks
There can be a couple of issues, and we do not know what has been changed on the site since. You can check if the filter set is applied to the blog page and make sure it is correctly assigned by reapplying it directly to that page. Also, clear the cache on the site.
Please note that generally, there is no support for accounts whose support period has expired following the support policy. We can only provide general information, like on new plugin updates, etc.
If you have any further questions, we can help you once we have addressed all requests from accounts with valid support periods. Please note that this process may take some time, possibly days or weeks.
If you want us to check it directly on your site, this requires active support time. You can extend the support period and let us know, so we can provide all the necessary instructions for proving credentials.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor,
I understand your support policy, but please note the reason I couldn’t start testing earlier was because you had promised a 2–3 month timeline for the update, which was delayed much further. I was patient and waited for this implementation for almost a year, and now that it’s finally available, I can’t use the plugin.
The filter set is active on the blog page, yet the filter doesn’t appear. Additionally, I noticed that when I try to add the “Filter Everything” widget in the Gutenberg page editor, the plugin is not listed at all, even when I search for it.
While I respect your limitations, I kindly ask for your cooperation here given the long wait and my patience as a customer.
Thanks, David
As a support team, we have a set of support guidelines that we are required to follow (we are not the plugin developers). We do not make or implement these rules ourselves; we are simply required to follow them.
We can try to make an exception to those guidelines, but we cannot guarantee it, as we do not know if we might be penalized for doing so.
You can try to send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document and we’ll see how it goes.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thank you, Victor!
followed the instructions, P.M. sent
Hi David
There was no filter widget in the widget area to display the filters on the page. We simply added it, and now everything is displayed and working: https://prnt.sc/ae9c5KIZ5gc2
Best Regards,
Victor
....
I have actually seen this step in the documentation, but since I don’t use a sidebar on my website, I thought it was irrelevant, yet on the blog page, it’s hanging in the sidebar. Make sense now!
Thanks
Yes, basically, when you turn off plugins that have widgets placed in the widget area, those widgets simply disappear. So, when you turn the plugin back on, those widgets will not reappear in the widget area automatically.

Victor
Hello, I have tried all, but I cannot bring the plugin to work. I have set all correctly and it shows the filter how I like. But when I try to filter (with or without Ajax) it don’t filters, it loads the site but still all products showing, not only that what I have filtered.

Hello,
I purchased Filter Everything Pro for our online store, which has a large number of categories, but we are struggling to set up the product filter the way we need it.
Let me describe the issue we’re facing. I added the “Product Category” filter to the filter set, but I can’t figure out how to change the URL and ensure that all categories are always searchable in it.
We need the category filter to work the same way it does on this online store: https://www.glami.cz/panske-obleceni-a-obuv/. Additionally, each category should lead to the specific category URL—for example, /categories/cut-gems/aquamarine/ instead of /categories/cut-gems/category-aquamarine/.
Thanks in advance
Hi Jaccob
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
The categories filter works in the same way as any other filter. It doesn’t redirect to the category pages, it simply shows on the same page your posts/products that have a chosen category filter term applied to them.
You can simply turn off the category filter and use the Woo category crawler, which is a simple stack of links to all product category pages on your site, they are not filtering anything.
Or you can keep both because if users want to filter on the shop page, they can use this filter instead of being redirected to the category page, which they would like to skip, as it is easier to find something else than return back to the shop page to see all of the filters and products.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hello,
I am not sure what is wrong with the plugin.
When ever I select a filter option, the posts section goes blank. But if I refresh the page, the proper filter selection appears.
Test it out:
https://bluecloudads.com/host-locations/I have AJAX enabled and lazy load disabled.
Hi samsaad94
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
The issue you are facing is caused by the JS code which makes it all appear on the page. The problem with this code is that it is not AJAX-compatible by default. Please check this page – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-instructions-only/ with the instructions on how you can try to fix it, and make it AJAX compatible.
Or you can remove that animation (from our own experience it would be the best choice), as it will only cause you additional issues on the site in the future, and slow it down. This animation will run every time you filter something, in order to make your posts all visible because it was written like that. It does not have any settings to store in the local storage, if the user already saw once this animation do not use it, just display all products as it is without any JS code, then it would work in a different way. Also, if it is using any JS code to make sort of a virtual grid you will get the same results, as this code should run every time on new elements, and this code should have to check if it is applied or not, in order to not cause duplication event listeners on it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi aaronbiby
Yes, the issue is that this script that is responsible for animation is not AJAX compatible by default. Please check this page – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-instructions-only/ with the troubleshooting instructions.

Hi Please I need advice.. I’ve been fiddling around with all types of setting variation, but I just can’t get the filter to filter my posts by tags.
This is my site: https://storstadensventilation.se/bostadsventilation/
What can I do to make it filter by tags?
Thanks!
Ok, i got the filter to sort the posts. But, if i chose to use «Apply Button» mode the posts are not filtered. When use Ajax, posts are filtered but my header is duplicated many times.
Since i’d like to use both the Apply button and Ajax, i’ll just leave it in that mode for now.
HTML ID is set to: #primary
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hi migge
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 where you want to filter your posts by the tags, and what type of tags you are talking about, so we can create a filter example and test the apply button mode with the AJAX as well.

I want to display product prices filter in following format. how can I achieve this.
Rs30,000 to Rs50,000 Rs.50,000 to Rs.80,000 Rs.80,000 to Rs,120,000
I want that filter should dynamically extract prices and display in above format. I don’t like range slider for prices and I also don’t want customers to add min and max price in boxes. I want above format. so when a user click option-1 like Rs.30,000 to Rs.50,000 then all products should display of this price range.
Hi mansooryousaf
If you want to display your prices in the format that you described as:
Rs30,000 to Rs50,000
Rs.50,000 to Rs.80,000
Rs.80,000 to Rs,120,000
You can create a custom field with the checkboxes and create the values that you need. Then apply the needed values on your posts/products and create a filter from this custom field meta key. This way you will have the exact looks that you want with the checkboxes, radio, labels, or dropdowns.

I am having a problem that on a page without filters, the query strings for another custom function are getting interfered with. Is there a way to limit this filtering to only the pages with filters?
basically, I need to not redirect to another url based on the query strings given for a specific page, but to just pass them to the page
I resolved the problem which was due to the same query string as the Prefix for the Url in a filter.
Hi pcarter3
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Yes, the Prefix URL is very important, as it should be unique in order to not cause any issues. You did a great job resolving this issue.

Hello Victor,
Thanks for letting me know what the cookies were. After adding the first, the site worked ok. But just last week started running unbearably slow again at https://dcperinatalmentalhealth.com/
I’m at a loss of what to do. My host (dreamhost-managed wordpress) says its your cookies; they are creating too much of a load. I have started a cron job hourly that clears the cache, but I have no skill at trying to remedy this. I’m not even sure clearing the cache has anything to do with the problem we are having.
Anything you might suggest would be great. We cannot change the theme (AVADA). We use ACF to customize fields and the site is not on an Apache server but NGINX. Our security plugin is AIOS.
Any help is super appreciated—suggestions, websites, anything.
Hi KellyDillon
We are sorry to hear that you are facing such an issue on your site. We (the support team) personally use this plugin on multiple sites. The specs of servers are one core CPU and 2GB of RAM. Everything is working smoothly and without issues basically flying.
We have never encountered any issues like you are describing. During our support time (or on personal sites), there was only one person with a somehow close issue like you have and he also used some caching cookies solution (not sure if he was using the same hosting as you do).
We’d love to hear some more information on how our plugin cookies create too much load, exactly load on what, and in which way. If everything is working well for this time, and then suddenly working slowly, does it mean that it is affecting the server with time? If yes, then in which way the time is the factor here? Does the cookies caching stack up too many cached cookies, to the point it cannot work with them anymore?
As far as we see it, the issue is in this caching solution that cannot be configured in the correct way to stop caching cookies. Or to clean it to the point that it cannot work with them anymore. Can it be absolutely turned off from your site just for testing?
Best Regards,
- Victor
This is such a great response, Victor. I have tried to explain to Dreamhost, using nginx 1.25.4, php 8.2.15, Avada 7.11.9, WP 6.6.1 that this was unique and you did not experience this overall. So your detailed response is so great and something that I will pass on to them!
As an end user, I can tell you that the site will take a few minutes to load (but flag no errors). This is true for both the front and back end. Once I do get in, I purge the cache via the nginx plugin (I’ve tried other plugins, too), and that seems to take care of the problem for an amount of time (24-48 hours I don’t know exactly).
The slow speed happens across browsers and IP addresses as I’ve tested. But once I clear the cache everything runs ok for that time again.
You ask many specific questions and I appreciate that and will pass along. I appreciate the thoughtful response.
Most Sincerely.
Hi KellyDillon
Yes, the key is to have specific questions in order to understand the root of the issue. Please let us know their response, as we need to have at least some information on hand in order to understand it fully.
Best Regards,

Hello Victor. It’s been a month but I wanted to tell you the results. Your plugin (as you know) is FINE! It really is such an excellent plugin.
In the end, Dreamhost elevated support discovered two Amazon bots (for Alexa) that were getting lost/trapped/bouncing around-I forget the supports language-on the site. They blocked the bot in the robots.txt page and for the past three weeks, the site has been as fast as it can be.
Thank you thank you Victor for your repeated attempts to try to help me. I am a humble person working on WordPress sites, and this issue was well beyond my skills. Although I did learn a lot.
It was never every your plugin, but as you suspected, something else. Amazon. Go figure! (well you might have).
Thanks again for your excellent plugin and outstanding support!
Hi KellyDillon
Thank you for your message. We are glad to hear that the issue has been found and fixed. We have encountered these bots a few times ourselves and there are really only one or two options: either use robots.txt or a firewall to block them as they ignore any setting.

Hello,
I have post grid with specific post type showing, and when pagination is enabled filters do not apply in page results.
On filter set settings, there is not option to choose for “And what to filter?”. When pagination is disabled, there is on option PostType Query.
Best regards
Hi dragspas
Can you please provide more detailed information on what type of page builder, or what exactly you are using? Also, please send the link to the page with the issue so we can check it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
I am using WPBakery page builder, and specific page element post grid.
Site is not public, it is under construction, so I can send you access credentials in private message.
Mine solution:
When change to pagination display style, than results are loaded by admin-ajax.php, POST request, but filter params are in url.
So just added pre_get_post action to apply GET params before added posts are loaded.
Hi dragspas
That’s a good solution when you are using AJAX pagination, it should serve the purpose. Good job!
Best Regards,
- Victor
Example:
<?php
$stock_statuses = wc_get_product_stock_status_options();
foreach ($stock_statuses as $status_key => $status_label) {
echo $status_key . ’: ’ . $status_label . ‘
’;
}
?>
This is the return:
instock: In stock outofstock: Out of stock onbackorder: Preorder
But in the filter everything pro
Filter by: Custom field Meta Key: _stock_status
In stock On backorder preorder
It is confusing. How to get the same values in the filter? In stock Out of stock Preorder
We need to have on back order sentence changed to word preorder on the filter itself.
Hi rekosa
In the plugin folder src/wpc-default-hooks.php file, there is this function:
if (!function_exists('flrt_stock_status_term_name')) {
function flrt_stock_status_term_name($term_name, $e_name)
{
if ($e_name === '_stock_status') {
$term_name = strtolower($term_name);
if ($term_name === "instock") {
$term_name = esc_html__('In stock', 'filter-everything');
}
if ($term_name === "onbackorder") {
$term_name = esc_html__('On backorder', 'filter-everything');
}
if ($term_name === "outofstock") {
$term_name = esc_html__('Out of stock', 'filter-everything');
}
}
return $term_name;
}
}
Which is using the next hook
add_filter('wpc_filter_post_meta_term_name', 'flrt_stock_status_term_name', 10, 2);
So you can write your own custom code, or change it in any way you want to the needed values.

The filter plugin does not seem to be working. I get an error saying: No one Filter Set is related to this page. You can configure it in the Filter Set -> “Where to filter?” field.
I have tried many combinations and none have worked. In “where to filter” I h ave set the field to “common worpress pages.” I don’t see the page I wanting my filters to work on in the next box. I have tried “search result page for selected post type.” I’ve then put in the “and what to filter” field: Search Tours query. Main Query.
This does not work and neither does a number of other variations I’ve tried. I’d like to get a refund if I can’t get this to work as I just purchased this plugin.
The page I am working on is audiometours.com/all-tours

Hi Victor – all the reference material you provided only describes Woo Commerce products. I have custom posts that are labelled that I want to be able to filter that are not woo commerce products. I tried to follow the links you sent but still can’t get it to work as intended. Can you please point me to a step by step guide to achieve the following: 1. Custom pages or posts are created with labels on the page 2. On a elementor page, I want to be able to filter and search for the pages labelled, based on the labells I’ve given the individual pages (eg. one of the filters will be “location” and each page will have a location label.
If you can guide me to make this work according to my use case that would be much appreciated. If it can’t work for non woo commerce filtering I’d appreciate a refund.
Thanks
Hi bsack
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

I have an ACF custom post type called ‘cakes’. For that custom post type, I have the “Tag (post_tag)” taxonomy enabled. This allows me to add tags to posts in the Cakes post type which I plan to use with Filter Everything Pro.
Next I’ve set up a “Cake Filter” which I would hope to allow the user to filter cake posts which are displayed via page-signature-cakes.php which uses a WP_Query. The filter is set to filter the “Cakes” post type and filters by tags as checkboxes.
In the Settings for the filter, I have “Apply filtering if the page is” set to “Cakes” post type. The second box in that section set to “Any Cake Page (for a common query across all Cake pages)”. In “And what to filter?” the only option I have is “No WP Queries matched the post type “Cake” found on the page. It doesn’t give me the option to select anything different, even though my page-signature-cakes.php template includes a WP_Query.
I’ve also tried setting these things to various other options and never see the filter on my page after including the shortcode via echo do_shortcode(‘[fe_widget id=”678”]’) in the template.
Follow up: I realized that since I’ve set the listing of cake posts to display within a Page, that perhaps I would need to set the “Where to Filter” to be Pages and Cakes. So I did that. Now it works and I’m able to select the query. Sorry to bother you. Figures I work it out after mucking about for 30 minutes, submitting a support inquiry, and then mucking about for another 10 minutes.

I’m using this plugin to create a filter on a taxonomy that I created with a custom post type using ACF. However, I can’t choose WP_QUERY in the settings, and when I test the filters, they display on my page but don’t work. I’m not sure if you understand my problem to help me. Is there a specific configuration I need to do? I’m using taxonomies to filter an ACF.
Hi raodatha
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 where are you trying to make the filter work, so we can start right away.

Hello, I am trying to have the same filtering set up as this: https://minimalistbaker.com/recipe-index/ I do not understand how to set up the taxonomies. Special Diet, Meal type, and cuisine are all categories, but I can’t have more than one category in filter everything. What taxonomy do I use? How do I set it up? Do I still mark these recipes in the categories as well? Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi optimisticallygreen
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
If you are using woocommerce you can create separate attributes for each of those filters, and then create a filter by each of those attributes.
If you are using some type of CPT post. We’d recommend adding different custom taxonomies (so if you want 10 separate filters you need 10 custom taxonomies (in short taxonomy is like category, tags… those are two separate taxonomies)), in order to create your custom taxonomies, you can use this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/
Or you can use custom fields, same approach, if you need 10 different filters, you need to create 10 different custom fields in order to create from them filters.

HI, on https://staging.kunstkabaal.nl/kies-je-kunstbox/ there is a filter for post categories. I need to exclude 1 category, posts that are in that category should not be in the results. How do I achieve this? Can’t get it right. Thanks.
Hi eigenwijsheid
If you want to exclude certain filter terms, you can go to the filter set, navigate to the needed filter, click “more options” and from there, use include/exclude functionality.
Please note, that the hierarchy views are very sensitive to those changes as they can break the hierarchy fully, so please proceed with caution.

Thanks, but the category has already been excluded.
These are alll the categories that need to be shown and filtered: https://prnt.sc/fZXU7_5CKTfQ
These categories do not need to be shown or filtered: https://prnt.sc/ftbqO3jFJo0q
But the first result on the page is a post in the category ‘Kunstbox Klantpagina’s’. That is the only category the post is assigned to, yet it is still shown in the results.
Does this mean the filter has been corrupted? If so, how can I fix it? Delete and make the same filter again?
Thank you.
Hi Victor, It is solved! I totally forgot to check the Divi blog settings. When I set ‘Posts for current page’to NO, then the included categories can be chosen. Si I chose all of them except ‘Kunstbox Klantpagina’s’ and now the filter results are perfect. Sorry to have bothered you! Regards, Elisabeth
