RE: Hi autelbill
No there are no special procedures, sometimes you might need to go to the filter set and hit the update button in order to make it work and refresh the filter terms. Also, make sure you are using unique prefixes so they won’t cross between each other.
It would be easier to see if you sent a link to that page and provided data on which categories exactly you have added and not working.
Best Regards, - Victor
I provided the following link in all my messages.
https://autel.us/media-articles/Starting again, you will see 1.Selecting checkboxes, alone, does not generate any results, 2. Selecting the category no longer displays the ajax loading spinner and 3. The collapsable hierarchy no longer toggles open and shut.
Please go to https://autel.us/media-articles/ and see if you can identify the issue that appeared after adding two new child categories for Promotions. I have resaved the filter with no effect. Thank you for you help.
Hi autelbill
After checking the page, it turned out that these elements simply do not have any event listeners from our plugin applied to them.
If you are using a custom theme (that in most cases the problem), please debug it. If you have any other optimizations, please try disabling them for testing purposes as well.
Generally, there is no support for accounts whose support period has expired following the support policy.
You can extend the support time so that we can just ask for the credentials and see what might be causing this issue. But, as we said, it can either be the theme itself or any optimizations on the site. Similar issues were happening and the issue was always a custom theme or any custom code.
You always can check it yourself with the default themes with turned-off plugins in order to find the issue if you do not want to extend the support.

Hello
Updating the plugin to the latest version has caused a fatal error on my site.
Has this function been removed?
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method FilterEverything\\Filter\\UrlManager::getFormActionUrl()
Thanks for your help Nicolas
Hi Nicolas
This function was renamed into the the getFormActionOrFullPageUrl();
Best Regards,

OK thanks for your quick reply. Keeping a compatibility method to avoid BC break would have been nice 
According to the development team, it wasn’t left for backward compatibility because it’s not a documented feature, and it is related to the plugin’s core functionality. Those who use it can only do so at their own risk, as it can be changed with the updates.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Fair enough 
Why do my dropdowns not load a default value, instead show [object Object]. See here, bottom-right: https://www.dhontario.com/product-category/heating/
Hi arturius
This looks like a conflict with some plugins on the site, the theme, or any custom codes.
Try to use any default theme, and clear cache, if it won’t help turn off the plugin and then check which one is exactly causing this behavior.

Hello, How can i add a capacity filter, i sell drums and tanks that are filled with water and i want a numerical slider for capacity but i can’t see a meta key for it or a place to add it to my products
Hi invtotm
If this field is a custom field, you can use the “Custom Filed Numeric” – https://prnt.sc/JzUilN9Fehcf and use your meta key.
If you have a taxonomy with only numerical values, you can use “Taxonomy Numeric” – https://prnt.sc/y72omrfZMwom and choose the needed taxonomy.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor, there isnt a meta key for capacity that i can see
Lets start from a diffrent way. For the capacity filter, do you only want to create it fully from scratch? Or do you already have it by either custom fields or attributes?
For example, you can create in the Products > Attributes capacity attribute, only with numerical values. Or use ACF to create a custom numerical field and apply it to the product post type. Simply use the needed values in this custom field on your products.
Create a filter just like this – https://prnt.sc/QppRGR2Er6uJ if you do not know how to get the meta key from an already created custom field this is another issue.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?
With the link to this capacity attribute on any product.
Best Regards,
- Victor
soted thank you, how would i change the default sorting to a taxonomy with only numerical values
Hi invtotm
When it comes to sorting and taxonomies, things are not as simple as with custom fields. You can apply multiple values to your product when using taxonomy. To make such sorting, you will need a custom code.

Replying to: Hello, Our filter stopped working as it normally did. 1.Selecting checkboxes, alone, does not generate any results, 2. Selecting the category no longer displays the ajax loading spinner and 3. The collapsable hierarchy no longer toggles open and shut. I do not see these issues on our filters for different pages. Please let us know what happened, here, https://autel.us/media-articles/ Thank you.
Hi autelbill Please check the latest changes on the site including caching plugins. Perhaps some major changes happened on the site that caused this behavior.
Best Regards, - Victor
Thank you for the reply. Caching is disabled for this page. The only change was adding two new sub categories. Unfortunately, it has not worked since. Without the additional sub categories (on staging) everything works as well. Is there a special procedure for adding new categories when FEP is enabled? Thanks again.

HI, I have following problem. In my ACF data I have squareMeter (m2) stored, but my client want to have in the filter two input fields with width / length. The squareMeter should be calculated and filtered by the squareMeter data.
I thought like using the Range Slider and inject the calculated values as max. I already got this working, but the injected value is not triggering the filter mechanics.
how can I solve this? Thanks you very much
Hi teichert-design
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Can you please provide a bit more detailed information on the issue. And how exactly you are tyting to conver input data?
Best Regards,
- Victor
Sure: you can see the prototype at: https://www.kristallturm.com/de/test/
Sorry, it’s german 
- Click on Filter button to open the panel - Click on VERFÜGBARER PLATZ - you find width + height inputs (I add via template overwrite) where the user should input data. -> The calculated value will be set as value for qm_max
I need now a kind of trigger, to call the filterRequest.
Hi teichert-design
There is this function on the change:
$(document).on('change', '.wpc-filter-range-form input[type="number"]', function (event) {
let form = $(this).parents('.wpc-filter-range-form');
processRangeForm( event, form );
});
Perhaps studying it will help you to rewrite your function in a way that will trigger filtering.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Great, thanks it works. Is there a way to adjust/overwrite the JS somewhere in my child-template, instead of change it in the filter-everything.js?
You don’t need to override the original one you need to write your own code that will use the presented code features in order to send the data with the changed values.
Or you can remove the event listener from the plugin JS using your JS code and apply your modified events.

Hi, I have an issue with the taxonomy numeric filter. I use it to filter the “release” custom taxonomy in a filter set with other filters (by category and by tag). If I change the “max” value, everything works fine. If I change the “min” value, other filters disappear, but if I apply the filter posts are correctly filtered and displayed by min value. Can you help me? Thank you

Hi marcogrilli
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Hello, I sent credentials via PM as requested. Please note that the frontend page where I use the filter is protected via password as well, I sent you that too. Hope to hear from you soon
The issue here is that those values are not numerical – https://prnt.sc/wwivaq7Nvj5F
Numerical values are 1, 10, 20, 10.02, 20.1, etc…
20.20.20 – string
1-20 – string
1.000.00 – string
You can create a filter set by checkboxes, labels, or any other but not range slider from them.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thank you for your prompt reply. I don’t understand why the filter itself is working – posts are filtered – and why the “max” parameter doesn’t affect other filters, while “min” does. Do you mind checking if there is any hint about this before reverting to a full numeric taxonomy?
Hi marcogrilli
Unfortunately, you are using a custom template for the range.php file. We do not work with the modified functionality, we can provide support only on the default plugin and its functionality, by default it is only working with the numeric values and float values.

Hi there, i have question for support about the filter button name. we have given the filter button another name. after filtering the name of the button changes to filtered. we want to keep our custom name at all times. do you have a solution for this? Regards Dave
Hi Dave
Have you tried the templates overriding for it – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/templates-overriding/
You can modify it in any way you need.
As for the Apply/Reset buttons from the “Apply Button” mode, you can set the text in the filter set settings where you enabled them.
Best Regards,

Thank you Much appriciated. In this way we were able to customize it to our needs.
Hi Dave

Hello, I am trying to create a dropdown filter with checkboxes. I have seen it in your demo page but cannot see how to do it. Screenshot below. Can you tell me how to do this?
https://snipboard.io/9vUdto.jpgHi SarahRCJ
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Currently, there is no out-of-box solution for that.
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’m using the plugin with Elementor and WooCommerce.
I have the setting in WooCommerce to show subcategories first when clicked a main category that has subcategories.
Is there a way to hide the filters when only subcategory cards are showing on the page?
As of right now there are no product to filter (only subcategory archive), but the filters are there, and it’s not a good design for me.
Please help. Thanks.
Hi brr4bz
Either by custom CSS to hide them on not-needed pages, or by custom function that will do so. In fact there is a product query on those pages justs a different template used to display only categories.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi, on mobile when using the filtering button and the sorting widget I couldn’t get the two inline, they are always at different height regardless of what containers you put them in the Elementor builder. Please help.
Screenshot for reference: https://prnt.sc/-5SOx1lwMdxO
Hi brr4bz
Please use browser inspecting tools in order to check if any of those elements have a padding or margin and remove it with custom CSS. You can place your custom CSS in the Filters > Settings > Experimental > Custom CSS.
Also, you can line up your items in the way you need with the custom CSS.

Can the Extended License be used on a customer’s website?
Hi WeiLaiKuai
Yes, the extended version is the same as the regular one. The difference in the license is in short, when you want to include our plugin in some of your let’s say, theme and sell it all together to another person, you would need an extended license.

Hello hope you are well. Everything went well until now but I just noticed my filters are no longer displaying product attributes in the right order.
I’ve put in all my filter the sort by menu order <123> and i’ve taken the time to update my menu as i wanted my attributed to be displayed
It worked well but i don’t know why, since few days it’s not working anymore. I’ve tried to update a filter but it’s still not working as i want.
Do you know something about that ?
You can see an example of this wrong order in this page filters : https://mybestsim.com/comparaison-meilleure-carte-esim-france/
Etienne
Hi Etienne
The “menu order <123>” is a custom parameter that is unique to WooCommerce and Product Category attribute taxonomies. If you create a WooCommerce attribute taxonomy and go to its page in the admin area, you will be able to manually move all the terms and thus determine their order. This type of sorting arranges the terms in the filter widget exactly as they are manually arranged in the admin area of this taxonomy.
For your case perhaps it is better to use abc/manual sorting by a custom code.
Generally, there is no support for accounts whose support period has expired following the support policy.
We will 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 to receive it faster, please extend the support period. We will prioritize processing the request for supported accounts.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor, thank’s for you answer.
I know about the 123 sorting, that’s exactly what I’ve done but for unknown reasons, now the order displayed is not the same as configured in the attributes panel
So for you, I’ve to update the filter sorting to abc/manual ?
I don’t know what it correspond to but i can tell you i’ve tried all the filter orders provided in your filters creation setting and no one is working correctly as I want
Etienne
Hi Etienne
The manual sorting can be achieved by a custom code with the use of the “wpc_terms_before_display” hook, in order to fit your needs. More about it can be read here – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/hooks/#terms-before-display-hook
As to the menu order 123, we’ll redirect this to the development team, perhaps there were some changes so it’ll all be fully tested. After this, we’ll let you know the results here in this comment thread.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor, I will wait for your changes from your dev team, I hope to hear from you soon !
By the way, for what you shared with me, I don’t think it will work because it will use the same process “menu_order”. In fact, that’s what I want, so if it’s not working on filter settings, I don’t think it it’s gonna work through php code
Hi Etienne
The update should be today or tomorrow.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor, Yeahh i just saw that in my mailbox ! I will udpate the plugin version and see if it works. I’m going to give you a feedback
It’s a good work, everything is working well again ! Than’s Victor for you good and fast support and you can also congrats your dev team
We are glad to hear that everything is working well.

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to unify my woocommerce search bar with the search bar in your plugin. Currently, if I use the regular search on my website, it takes me to the product page and the URL looks like this: https://dev.spacesmockups.com/?s=bar&post_type=product. The search works correctly, and shows the right products.
On that page, I have your Filter Everything PRO plugin installed, and I activated your search box. You search box doesn’t show the query that I just issued using woocommerce’s search, presumably because the URL parameter is different. I know that because when I then search for something using your search box, I see it appended under another parameter in the URL, like this: https://dev.spacesmockups.com/?srch=bar&s=bar&post_type=product.
So my question is, how can I unify the two search products? It’s a bad experience for me to: 1) Not show the current search query when you get to the search results page, 2) Not have a way to reset filters for the woocommerce search query. I’d be happy to somehow put your search box all over my site. Or else, I’d like to see my woocommerce search queries show up in your search box and count as a filter that can be reset by your product. Please let me know what my options are.
Thank you very much.
Best, Tim
Hi Tim
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
This is impossible and makes no sense. Because our search plugin searches on a specific page, rather than redirecting you to a search template. Thus, even if you connect it, it will duplicate two search queries. What you can do is use a filter set without a search filter on the search template and place the widget area with the default search you use on your site, this way you will have a search bar and you will have text in there that you entered.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thank you Victor, makes sense. I will try that out. Thank you!
Is it possible to have the filters collapsed even on desktop?
Hi aaronbiby
Yes, please check the breakpoint code on this page – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/mobile-devices-new-approach/
You can place it in the functions.php file or any code snippet plugin including mu-plugins as well.

It appears that SEO filter pages do not include the rel=”next” declaration in the <head> section when a page has pagination, for example: <link rel=”next” href=”https://domain.com/category/name-category/page/2/”>
Do you plan to add this?
Hi slkaz
We will forward this to the development team, and as soon as we receive any information on it, we will let you know.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Is there any update on this yet?
Hi slkaz
We haven’t got any information on it yet, as the development team was fully busy with the latest fixes and updates. But from Monday they might provide some data if it is planned to be added or if it is possible somehow to do it right now.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thank you for your previous responses regarding the addition of the rel=”next” declaration for paginated SEO filter pages. It’s been a month since this topic was discussed, and I was wondering if there are any updates from the development team.
This feature would be very beneficial for my site’s SEO and user experience, so I’d appreciate any information on whether it’s planned or if there’s a current workaround to implement it.
Looking forward to your reply. Thank you in advance!
Hi slkaz
Yes, we have received a response from the development team that this feature will be released in future updates along with the XML map. This is written in the development plans, but the development team cannot promise that it will happen shortly. It will take quite some time not a month or two.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thank you for your response. It’s a pity that updates for the plugin are being released so slowly. You mentioned XML maps almost 1.5 years ago.
Yes, it was postponed multiple times as new functionality was added to filtering and its performance, and others were reworked. Additionally, some bugs and new challenges arose during the development of those changes. Currently, we are focused on ensuring it’ll work effectively and reliably, minimizing the risk of any issues alongside expanding architecture. So we can add new functionality generally in SEO, and be sure there were be no challenges to expend it.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Victor,
Three months have passed since the response from the development team. Could you provide an update on when the feature I asked about will be released? Is there any estimated timeline for its implementation?
Best regards, Sławek
Hi Sławek
Unfortunately, the development team hasn’t shared any new details with us yet. All we know so far is that it is the development, but they haven’t given us a specific timeline or dates for it.
As the support team, we wish we had more information to share with you, but we’re in the same position as you with the available information. We’ll keep you updated if they share more information with us.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Hi Sławek
The development team completed a general investigation into current SEO standards. In 2019, Google announced that it no longer uses rel=”next” and rel=”prev” for indexing, as its algorithms are now capable of handling pagination without these indicators.
Considering the advancements in AI and the evolving direction of SEO, this approach has become outdated. Modern search engines now prioritize high-quality content and user experience over older, technical SEO tactics. Taking this into account, implementing this functionality no longer adds value and could potentially be counterproductive.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi there I have installed Filter Everything Pro and am working to filter posts using an Elementor Loop item. After some trial and error, I have the filters showing up, however, the checkboxes are not reliably working and will “uncheck” themselves.

Hi Victor A message with login is sent. Backup complete on our staging site. Go ahead
Thank you for the credentials, but this is all of the access we have – https://prnt.sc/vCoWfFd1kzGa so we cannot do anything on the site.

My apologies, Victor. Thank you for your patience. I have given you full access. I will wait for your update on Monday
Hi lmeyertourmate
We have checked the site and the problem is not with the plugin or Elementor compatibility. You have some kind of extreme caching on your site that caches the page and displays it regardless of whether we set filters on another page or not, it will be displayed exactly as it was cached. And this is causing the issue.
For example, the filter set was placed on the “The Tour-Mate Solution Finder” page, and we switched the page to the “test page” the page right above. As a result the “The Tour-Mate Solution Finder” page still displays this – https://prnt.sc/xvSnrjEB1RdV and the test page displays nothing even if there were a filter shortcode.
Please check all of the caching on your server/site in order to resolve this issue.
Best Regards,
- Victor
Thank you Victor. I will check on the staging server setup!
