I would like to add an seo rule to a ‘custom field’ (it is actually numeric but I have set it to be a normal custom field so I get a sensible url). example: domain.com/make/bmw/year-2025/

I cannot see how to add the year to the indexing. It shows as a ‘Custom Field Prefix’ in the URL Prefixes section, but nothing is showing under ‘indexed filters’ for ‘year’. Is there any way of adding this so the noindex etc. gets removed and I can add the seo text?

Go through all of your filter sets and delete all filters created from a custom field “ca-year” (when you delete it > hit the update button). When you delete them all, check one more time in all filter sets that you have if there is 100% no filter created from the “ca-year” meta key. Then, go to the filter set placed on the page that you sent us and create a filter from this custom field. We noticed that you have at least two filters (in different filter sets) from the same meta key with different prefixes, which is causing this issue.

After you create the filter from the “ca-year,” go to the Filters > Settings > Indexed filters and check if it appears there.

I would still like to have the year from/to filter on my main search filter (called all Listings Filter). I would like to have the new filter set to filter on the make and body taxonomies so I can have /bmw/year-registered-2024/ as an indexed landing page. How can I achieve this?

In that case, you need two separate custom fields, one will be used for the indexing and the other one can be used for the range slider.

Hi

I create a seo rule on specifc filter -> https://dev.cavetown.nl/product-categorie/industriele-kasten/merken-eleonora/materialen9123-acaciahout/

I filled in the H1, meta description and title, but I dont see the content. What am I missing?

An

The instruction on the same page – https://prnt.sc/J5D_QhDXOmys just you have to use the hook of your theme that is responsible for that description in order to remove it and place the SEO Description you configured.

Best Regards,
Victor

Ok I understand. Doesnt this effect the SEO indexing technical aspect of everything?

Not at all, basically it is just replacing the SEO Description on the pages that have SEO Rules on them. It does not remove anything before you are filtering the page, or with the filter combinations that are not indexed with the SEO Rules.

Hello, I have a specific question.

We have 25 thousand simple products, without variations.

We will need almost 50 filter groups, each with 4 options.

Example:

Voltage (110v, 220v)

Colors (yellow, blue, green, gray, red)

I am calling each filter title a group.

They will be created in ACF so that we can mark these characteristics in the product registration to be filtered with the list on the website.

Does the plugin work well with this amount of filters using ACF?

No problem, or would there be another way?

Hi samucavirtualite

In general, the plugin can handle as many filters as you need. The only limitation is your server hardware, whether it can handle the load and provide fast calculations.

Function suggestion: Add user selection options for indexing and following. At present, the default index is nofollow, noindex. However, this will prevent Google from crawling old content. So I think the best way is to follow, noidex. What do you think? How to set it up?

Hi melody7

Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.

You have to create SEO Rules in order to make some pages indexable, or you can use custom code with the WP robot tags hook to make them all indexable by default.

Hi, I can’t remove an item from a filter. When I press “Delete”, the item remains, while the Delete button disappears. See this screenshot: https://staging.salonservice.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/filtri.jpg Thanks

Hi thetis

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?

Hi, i sent the credentials

This issue is coming from the WooCommerce B2B plugin, more likely this part of the code (admin.min.js):

    o(document).on("click", ".button-link-delete", function(t) {
        t.preventDefault(),
        o(this).parents("tr").remove()
    }),

Try to turn off that plugin and check if you can delete it without any issues. If you can, then please contact the WooCommerce B2B plugin developer and present the code that we have sent you, which is causing issues, so they can provide a fix for it on their side.

Hey I deactivated my license on the test site and im trying to activate it on the main site and its not working, can you please check my license and unblock it. Im trying to install the license on questyme.com

never mind it works now, I was plugging in the purchase code directly

It is important to keep in mind that the License key and CodeCanyon purchase code are two different things.

Please use incognito mode in your browser!!!

In order to set the License key for the Filter Everything PRO plugin, simply head to Filters -> Settings -> License and click the “Get your License Key” button.

It will take you to a new page where you have to log in with your Envato credentials (with an account where you have purchased the plugin) and obtain your License key.

Best Regards,
Victor

We are glad to hear that the issue was resolved.

Hello, Victor!

I try to create SEO rule, but this doesn’t work for all page like:

/product-category/ – (site.com/product-category/some-category/attr-1)

but this is work fine for all shop page, like this: /shop/ (site.com/shop/some-category/attr-1)

Where mistake?

Go to the category page and choose any option from “Тип Засобу” and you will see the SEO Rule in work. You can check it in the SEO Rules, how we created it.

Thanks! This is awesome.

Some more questions:

1. Does the filter have a separate sitemap with SEO filter URLs? How does Google index the SEO filter links?

2. How can I enable Filter Chips in the sidebar only on mobile? I was displaying the chips above the products, but that block is hidden on mobile.

1) The sitemap functionality is currently in development. Filtered pages with SEO rules have robot tags set to index, follow, making them indexable. Other pages without SEO rules are tagged as noindex, nofollow.

2) This can only be achieved via custom CSS by setting the chips element to display: block when the screen width is less than 768px, and everything that is further display: none. You can use the exact chips widget or add any container for the chips with the custom ID or Class to do so.

Hello again Victor,

I need assistance for the Events Calendar archive page. I managed to add a sidebar and add filters to the archive page with all my events. But the filter doesn’t work. In my filter set setting, there’s like 15 tribe_events request to choose from, but no one seems to work.

The page : https://dev.mudita.ch/events/

Could you help me with this issue?

Thank you,

I have a website here https://smartreno4u.ca/projects/ and I want to filter the projects like kitchen projects and bathroom projects and others, is it possible? I am using ASTRA THEME

Hi wowmedia247

If they are simple posts from the CPT named “projects” and displayed on the page via WP_Query, then yes, you can filter them.

Best Regards,
Victor

Do you have the possibility to add pagination for testing?

Because the problem seems to occur when a page is specified.

For example: https://test.filtereverything.pro/[category_name]/[filter_name]-[filter_value]/page/2

Thanks.

Yes, the pagination will not work on the category without the category particle in the URL; it will generate a 404 error. With or without our plugin.

Also, please respond in the same comment thread, as it becomes confusing when new threads are created just to add something to the same issue. This fragments the conversation, making it difficult to follow the full context.

Best Regards,
Victor

Thank you for your analysis; it helped me identify the problem.

I ran some tests, and it actually happens when you define the following permalink structure: / category / postname /

Unfortunately, I don’t see how to solve my problem with Filter Everything :/

We just tested it on our end, and even with such permalinks behavior, it is working:

https://test.filtereverything.pro/category/business/ https://test.filtereverything.pro/business/

Hello, I found a bug with the plugin, which generates a PHP Fatal Error, “Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded.” This isn’t an execution time issue because even when I set it to unlimited, the error still appears. The error appears when visitors try to access https://mywebsite.com/news/tag-windows10/ instead of https://mywebsite.com/cat/news/tag-windows10/. This is because WordPress allows access to category pages both with and without the category permalink base. Can you fix the issue? I can give you more information if needed. Thank you.

Hi DreamOn5

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Can you please send the exact page with the issue and instructions on how we can recreate this issue on the page?

WordPress allows access to category pages both with and without the category permalink base.

By default, WordPress does not allow access to category pages both with and without the category permalink base. For example, if your category URL is site.com/cat/cars, you cannot also access it as site.com/cars, this won’t work with the default WordPress behavior. Only one permalink can work, but not both at the same time.

Best Regards,
Victor

That is absolutely incorrect behavior on your site. You either have some URL rewriting rules in your .htaccess file or a permalink issue on the site. Maybe an issue in the database as well.

For example, you can test it on our demo site – https://demo.filtereverything.pro/category/health/ and remove the “category” and see what happens, it will simply return a 404 error as it should. And it will do so with any clean WP installation.

You can try going to the Settings > Permlalink and hit the update button, maybe it will update permalinks and remove the ability to use both options.

Victor

Filter and Bots – a Complete Disaster

:shocked: :shocked:

Continuing the previously raised topic. For each combination of selected parameters within each attribute, a separate page is generated with a URL containing “-or-”. If the filter has 10 parameters, we end up with 1024 variants and pages.

The whole problem is that all these pages contain links to other combinations. Bots and crawlers follow these links from page to page, creating an enormous load on the hosting and server. Yes, pages not explicitly marked for SEO have the noindex, nofollow directives.

But the thing is, all bots – including Google – completely ignore these directives. Sure, they might not index or show your pages, but nothing stops them from crawling them. Here’s an example from Google itself:

https://prnt.sc/Z98YMFwxn-Gg

To make matters worse, many suspicious bots disguise themselves as regular Chrome or Firefox user agents.

Yes, if the site is hosted on a dedicated server, it’s still somehow manageable via blocking. For example, at the server level, you can block all suspicious bots altogether or deny access to URLs containing “-or-” for legit bots. Additionally, block aggressive bot IPs at the site level.

But what can you do on a shared hosting environment?

This is becoming a full-blown catastrophe. Something must be done — hide the links or come up with another solution…

Hi akaEnot

We’ve directed it to the development team. As soon as we get any information on it, we’ll let you know.

Hi! Is it possible to stay on the same url when using filters? Because when filtering the URL change and after som filtering it stop working because you are on wrong URL.

You can send it via PM – https://codecanyon.net/user/fe_support

Best Regards,
Victor

Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

More likely some permalink conflict on the site.

Best Regards,
Victor

Seems like after adding the fe_ additin to your filter prefixes fixed the issue – https://prnt.sc/s7VFFQr_MNII you can edit them in the Filters > Settings > URL Prefixes.

Make sure to use unique values that are not used on the site for any pages, taxonomies slugs and so on.

Victor

HI I’m using the plugin on my site, it works great. I am using elementor pro and the Hello theme by elementor. I am wanting to display the sorting shortcode, but I understand that that can only be displayed once a widget has been created within the widget area of the theme. I dont have the ability with my theme to create widgets, so im unable to display the sorting option. How can I fix this?

Hi lewishayes_

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

If your theme does not have a widget area, you can use this code example, which you can place in a code snippets plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/ in order to add a widget area to your theme:

function custom_theme_widgets_init() {
    register_sidebar( array(
        'name'          => __( 'Custom Sidebar', 'textdomain' ),
        'id'            => 'custom-sidebar',
        'description'   => __( 'Add widgets here.', 'textdomain' ),
        'before_widget' => '<section id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
        'after_widget'  => '</section>',
        'before_title'  => '<h2 class="widget-title">',
        'after_title'   => '</h2>',
    ) );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'custom_theme_widgets_init' );

And in this widget area, create a sorting widget with all of the parameters, and then display it on the page with the shortcode.

Subject: Keep “Filter by Type” Always Expanded with All Hierarchical Options Visible

Hi,

we are using your plugin “Filter Everything” on our website https://greenterest.it, specifically on this page: https://greenterest.it/brand/bottos/.

Our client has requested that the “Filtra per Tipologia” (Filter by Type) section always remains fully expanded, including all child (hierarchical) categories, by default.

The goal is to immediately show users all available filter options without requiring them to click to expand the section. This is crucial for UX, especially on mobile devices.

Is there a setting or code snippet we can use to make this behavior permanent?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Best regards

Hi Officina2-0

Basically, there are the 3 most common options here:

1) Use the hook “wpc_hierarchy_opened” in order to write the code that will always make them open(this is just a hook in the plugin, not the code):

function flrt_hierarchy_opened() {
    return apply_filters( 'wpc_hierarchy_opened', [] );
}

2) Use custom CSS styles to make them always open and remove the ”+” symbols. You can place your custom styles in the Filters > Settings > Experimental > Custom CSS.

3) Use templates overriding – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/templates-overriding/ to write your own custom template for chekboxes.

You can choose the most comfortable option for yourself in order to make them always open by default.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor,

Thanks for your previous reply.

I’ve reviewed the documentation and your suggestions, but I still need help implementing option 1. Could you please show me exactly how and where to add the hook wpc_hierarchy_opened so that all hierarchical filter elements are always open by default?

I’m not sure if the hook should be added in the functions.php of my child theme or elsewhere, and I’d appreciate a concrete example with the correct syntax.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards

We’d love to help, but unfortunately, in accordance with the Envato/CodeCanyon support guidelines, custom codes are out of the scope of support policy – https://prnt.sc/VE72fuxbqrWh

The support is limited to the features included in the default functionality of the plugin. Such a feature can be added in future updates.

However, we can guide you by pointing out which hooks might help you achieve certain results. If you’re not familiar with WordPress hooks in general, we recommend contacting a site developer who can assist you in implementing the required custom functionality and writing this custom code for you.

Victor

Hi there,

I built a filter but it doesn’t work. The same results just pop up onto the screen as if there filter was used.

Page build = only show products worth £6.99

Filter build = Post type product - filter by categories - filter title = gift type - prefix for url = productype - view in widget = checkboxes - filter logic = or - sort terms by abc - include = i had added the relevant categories (it breaks either way) - folding = ticked. Settings -Where to filter = Pages + designated page. -and what to filter = search product query #1 Note – i never really understood what this was doing and it has changed recently with an update. -Empty terms = always hide -show counters = ticked -hide empty filters = ticked

and that’s it. I am stumped as to why it doesn’t work. Maybe it’s the page build to only show 6.99 products?

Interesting. I think all of mine are in the 1st search query. Can you give me an example of what might have to happen for them to be elsewhere?

What would cause the need for other queries to take up other spots? A plugin? script? otter blocks maybe?

Ideally, a page should have 1-2 queries under optimal conditions, not 8-12 or more. So, if there is a page with basically 4 posts and a header menu only, and we see that there are 8 or more queries for a chosen post type, then something is wrong.

Either the header menu is using multiple queries to display menu items, so adding a new menu column can add 3 more queries to the page, or even more, making 20+ queries, which can significantly slow down the site and always mess up the number of queries on the page and their order. Or the issue with the page template that displays those posts.

The plugin loads the page and processes each query in the order they fire on that exact page. If something changes on the page in terms of queries, it will affect the order in the ‘And what to filter’ section.

Best Regards,
Victor

Ah, very insightful. Thanks again for the support.

I want to use the plugin via shortcode and apply filtering only where the shortcode is used. However, I haven’t been able to get it to work properly. I’ve reviewed your documentation but couldn’t find the ID information anywhere. I don’t understand why so much effort was made to hide the ID—honestly, it would have been much better if it were more visible.

Could you please let me know where I can find the ID of the filter set I created?

Hi radikel

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

The shortcode itself does not display the filters on the page. It is more like a canvas where the filters will be displayed if you apply the filter set on this page in the “Where to filter” dropdown. Also, you have to choose the correct query in the “And what to filter” in order to filter your posts on the chosen page.

The ID can be found in the URL when editing the filter set.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi please help me. I set up a filter for filtering woocommerce product in elementor pro loop grids, witch custom loop template. But when i select two Brand attributes and the connection is OR relationship, not AND, it only shows the last selected brands and list only those. But up in the url it shows the correct parameters with or connection. Why is that? How can i correct this bug? Thank you

Hi bkris

This issue may be caused by an incorrect configuration or a conflict with a custom code or template. It could also be due to an incorrect query used in the “And what to filter” setting.

This type of issue can be checked using admin credentials; however, it requires active support time. If you’d like us to check the issue on your site, please extend your support time. Once it is extended, we will send you instructions on how to securely provide us with the necessary credentials so we can check the site.

Hello. I have manually added the function to my theme’s hook for outputting the SEO Rule description. This works great. But I do not see in your docs how to output the H1. This is not displaying automatically in my theme, so I need to add it to my hook as well. How can I do this? Thanks.
